PROFILE:


Company is a renowned player in the pharmaceutical distribution field with its operations marked out exclusively for the south Indian state of Karnataka. Being the flagship of the multi-dimensional Unnati Group, they have carved a niche in the regional pharmaceutical distribution scenario. With unmatched Customer Service, Professionalism and Innovation, which are also their key performance drivers, they have established a benchmark for service and operations in the regional Pharma Distribution industry.

 

 

Customer Base


At Company, they offer distribution service to more than 4000 retailers across Karnataka, which is an ever-growing phenomenon. Also covered under this umbrella are reputed semi/corporate hospitals, organized retail chain and Govt. institutions. They offer the best of services to their customers at all times and their tech-savvy approach equips them to service the rising customer base with ease and efficiency.

 

 

Futuristic Outlook and Role of IT


The management team of Company has always looked ahead of its times. This revolutionary outlook made the company envisage the role of technology in pharmaceutical distribution at times when the idea was unheard of. Mahendra Chowhan and his team looked at the disorganized pharmaceutical distribution industry which had a chaotic operational network. In order to adopt the use of Information Technology to smoothen the company’s day–to-day operations, Company entered into a Joint Venture with Nationwide Pharma-assist distributors in 1996. This JV has the distinction of being the first of its kind in the history of Indian pharmaceutical distribution. Operations were computerized and all transactions were compulsorily made through the IT route. Efficient use of Information Technology has revolutionized the entire working style at Company with all activities from product procuring to final distribution being computerized, using the latest software “PHARM ASSIST”, developed by one of the leading Software company, C-Square Info Solutions Private Limited Bangalore, who has in-depth knowledge in Pharma distribution. The same package was developed exclusively for VPDPL and later being used widely in India.

 

As a part of the company’s initiative to adopt the latest technology, Vardhman regularly invests in software up gradation. The company switched from a DOS-based system to customized software based on Microsoft Windows. The streamlined operations at Company has not only impressed the distribution industry, but also major financial institutions who are more than eager to offer financing options. Over the years, Company has become a trend-setter in the pharma distribution industry.

 

 

HISTORY:

 

Company traces its past to the enterprising and futuristic outlook of one of its founders, Mahendra Chowhan whose hands-on experience and foresight has brought the company to its current established status.


Over the last 2 decades they have been improving their operations, bringing in professionalism to imbibe system controls, updating their business and obtaining reports everyday to know where they stand.

 

The Beginning


Having migrated from Rajasthan, Mahendra Chowhan joined a Pharmaceutical distribution firm managed by his relative. His twelve years in this firm provided him a rich experience and above all a personal rapport with the numerous retailers he dealt with in the course of his assignment.


Eventually with an ambition to own a personal business, Mahendra Chowhan and his elder brother Jayanthilal Chowhan established subject in July 1988. The firm had a small beginning with an initial investment of two lakhs and an employee base of five staff members.



The Present


Hard work and dedication has ensured that the company stands tall with Rs.500 million in annual turnover and a 140-member strong employee base. The dedication and commitment of the employees has converted the enterprise from an individual-run to a corporation. The entire team works as a family, a regular training session to upgrade the skills and maximizing the potential in a better environment perks up the motive of an employees, the attrition rate is very negligible.

 

Application of technology in all its operations has made company a path- breaker in the industry. It has revolutionized the manner in which the entire pharmaceutical distribution is done and has brought sophistication to its operations.

 

In a short span company has gained market attention and is now recognized as Best and No.1 distributor amongst their peers in the industry.
