5 It all began in 1930 in the forests surrounding Dehradun. Mr. M. Manal, the founder of Himalaya Wellness Company, curiously looked on as villagers fed the roots of a local herb to calm a herd of agitated elephants. This herb was Rauwolfia Serpentina, the inspiration that led to the creation of Serpina®, the world’s first natural antihypertensive drug which was launched in 1934. Mr. Manal embarked upon the journey of uncovering the mysteries of Nature at a time when herb-based healthcare was looked at with skepticism. Fuelled by his vision of bringing the best of nature’s solutions backed by scientific research to people suffering health concerns, he was determined to contemporize Ayurveda through modern technology. With a single hand-operated tableting machine bought after pawning his mother’s bangles, he strode ahead on the road less travelled and full of challenges. It took him four years of extensive research to formulate the first offering, Serpina®, which laid the foundation for Himalaya’s strong foothold in research. In 1955, came the historic breakthrough that established Himalaya as a symbol of trust in the Indian healthcare landscape. Liv.52, a formulation for liver health, became the best-selling flagship offering and a name synonymous with brand Himalaya. Ever since, as a head-to-heel problem-solving brand, Himalaya has introduced many other iconic products such as Septilin, Cystone, Bonnisan, and Rumalaya forte, which reinforced the trust of millions of customers, making Himalaya a household name. Broadening horizons, Himalaya diversified into Personal Care, BabyCare, Wellness, and Animal Health while consolidating all portfolios under one umbrella, “Himalaya Since 1930”. Today, Himalaya is a leading global health and personal care brand with close to 500 products sold in over 100 countries – touching millions of lives every day and realizing the promise of Happiness through Wellness in every home and heart.
