History[edit]
In the mid-1880s, Dr. S.K. Burman, an Ayurvedic practitioner in Kolkata, formulated Ayurvedic
medicines for diseases like cholera, constipation and malaria. He went on to set up Dabur India Ltd
in 1884 to mass-produce his Ayurvedic formulations. His son, C.L. Burman, set up Dabur's first R&D
unit. The current chairman, Dr. Anand Burman, and vice-chairman Amit Burman, are part of the fifth
generation of the Burman family. The Burmans were among the first business families in India to
separate ownership from management when they handed over the management of the company to
professionals in 1998.[8]
