WEBSITE DETAILS:

In the 18th century a philanthropist and famous ayurvedic physician from Jamnagar, a district in Gujarat, India was popular by his nickname "Zandu". Subject owes its origin to him.

 

In 1864 he set up a 'Rasa Shala' to manufacture products for his personal practice, according to the tenets of Ayurveda – which deals with the fundamental principles in nature that underlie the creation, preservation, and restoration of health and the promotion of longevity.

His grandson Shri Jugatram Vaidya, inspired by the rich tradition, decided to start a pharmacy to manufacture and market Zandu's Natural Herbal products (Ayurvedic Products).

 

In this endeavour, Shri Pattani Prime Minister of the erstwhile state of Bhavnagar, and Shri Mathura Das Parikh assisted him. Thus, in the city of Mumbai, in October 1910, the trusted indigenous pharmaceutical –The Company was established.

 

Since then, 'Zandu' signifies – ayurvedic healthcare remedies which mean – quality.

 

The great success received in the first 9 years necessitated immediate extension of the production capacity. Subject thus went public in 1919 with the issuance of stocks.

 

With the aid of modern equipments. Subject manufactures a wide range of Ayurvedic products; specialised in Rheumatology, Gynaecology and CNS (Central nervous system) etc.

 

Ever since its inception, Zandu has been dedicated to the promotion of Ayurveda and bringing the benefits of Ayurveda to the common man. Great emphasis has been laid on the selection of the right type of raw material and scientific methods for manufacturing herbal products.
