HISTORY OF DABUR
The story of Dabur began with a small, but visionary endeavor by Dr. S. K. Burman,
a physician tucked away in Bengal. His mission was to provide effective and affordable cure
for ordinary people in far - flung villages. Dr. S. K. Burman started Dabur in 1884 as a small
pharmacy. Initially, he prepared Ayurvedic medicines to treat diseases like malaria, plague,
and cholera that had no cure during that period. It was his dedication, commitment and
empathy that made Dabur a renowned name among the masses. And today, after more than
120 years Dabur is known for its trustworthiness more than anything else. During this
passage of time, Dabur went through several structural and strategic chances to maintain its
market strength. The real mass production started in 1896. Early 1900s saw Dabur emerged
as the first company to provide health care through scientifically tested methods. It achieved
significant improvements after setting up research and development centers and
manufacturing automation. The launch of Dabur Amla hair oil and Chyawanprash was a boon
to the expanding business. To keep up with the times Dabur computerized its operation in
1957. It's Dant Manjan and digestive tablets were widely accepted as well. However, with a
large product portfolio in the market, Dabur had to maintain operational efficiency. To make
sure it adjusted to the business environment it become a public limited company in 1986
followed by diversification in Spain in 1992. A major change came when Dabur came up
with its IPO in 1994. Because of its position Dabur’s issue was 21 times oversubscribed.
Dabur further divided its business into three separate groups:
overDabur India limited is a consumer care and health care products company. Product
portfolio offered by the company includes personal care products, health care products, home
care products, and foods. Dabur also offers Ayurveda-based health care products. It markets
its products in India as well as international market as Middle East, South-east Asia, Africa,
the European union and America. The company operates through four division namely
Consumer Care Division [CCD] that deal in FMCG products across a wide spectrum of
market segments; International Business Division [IBD] that focuses on developing Dabur’s
business abroad; Consumer Healthcare Division [CHD] that deals in the classical and OTC
range of products which are grantha raised and which follow strict Ayurvedic formations; and
retail divisions which is currently in the development phase. The company is headquartered at
Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. In 1998, for the first time in the history of Dabur, a non-
family member took charge. Dabur handed over the operation to professionals. Successful
implementation off procedure, timely changes and maintaining its essence, Dabur achieved
its highest ever sales figure of Rs 1166.5 crores in 2000-2001. As FMCG sector was
struggling with a slow growth in the Indian economy Dabur decided to take enormous
strategic initiatives, recognize operation and improvise on its brand architecture beginning
2002. It decided to concentrate its marketing effort on Dabur, Vatika, Real, Anmol and
Hajmola to strengthen their brand equity, create differentiation and emerge as a pure FMCG
player recognized as Herbal brand. This was chosen after a study with Accenture, which
revealed that Dabur was mainly perceived as a herbal brand and connected with the age
group above 35. Also, larger retailer was making their foray into the FMCG market. Apart
from at HLL, P&G, Marcio and Himalayan, ITC was also posing a challenge. The supply
chain of Dabur was becoming complex because of the large array of product. Southern
market share in the sales figure was negligible. These factors posed a threat to Dabur and
hence small challenges were not enough.
