On a visit to Burma, Himalaya's founder, Mr. M. Manal, saw restless elephants being fed with a root to pacify them. The plant from which this was taken is Rauwolfia serpentina.
Mr. Manal’s dream of discovering the mysteries of nature began in the year 1930. Fascinated by the properties of Rauwolfia Serpentina, he was determined to bring into people’s lives the nature’s healing power harnessed through scientific research.
Himalaya uses the tools of modern science to create pharmaceutical-grade ayurvedic products. We have research that has converted Ayurveda's herbal tradition into a complete range of proprietary formulations dedicated to healthy living and longevity. Today, these products have found acceptance with medical fraternities and serve the health and personal care needs of consumers.
Inspired by Mr. Manal’s unwavering dedication and passion, we have weaved a close relationship with nature and have developed a rich history of research spanning over eight decades.
Himalaya began its journey at a time when herbal products were regarded with skepticism. But, our founder had firm belief in the power of nature’s goodness. He was convinced that people would share his belief if the benefits of herbs and plants were researched and analyzed through science and were proven to be safe and effective though empirical evidence. Braving all odds, he persevered with a staunch spirit to realize his dreams. Pawning his mother's bangles, he bought a hand-operated tableting machine.
The one-man revolution that began in 1930 with a small-scale operation in Dehradun transformed into a global healthcare solution that has brought the happiness of a healthier life to millions of people around the globe. In 1975, we set up a full-fledged, state-of-the-art Research and Development Center and manufacturing facility in Makali, Bengaluru, India.
As our reach spread in various segments, we underwent a rebranding to bring our entire range of offerings under the single umbrella “Himalaya since 1930”. We consolidated our portfolios in Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care, BabyCare, Himalaya FOR MOMS, Wellness, and Animal Health to evolve as a “head-to-heel” wellness provider.
