About Dabur
Dabur, today one of the largest FMCG companies in India, was started by the Burman family in 1884 in Kolkata (West Bengal).With a legacy of 120 years built on attributes of quality and trust, Dabur has proven its expertise in the fields of health care, personal care, Homecare and Foods.
The business based on the vision of founder Dr S K Burman - "What is life that cannot bring comfort to others", started as a small pharmacy selling healthcare products. Two decades later the company entered the specialized area of Ayurvedic medicines and branded its products. With growing demand, Dabur shifted its operations to Delhi in 1972 and a few years later set up full-fledged research operations in healthcare.
