Rich Heritage
Our journey began back in the 1950s with our founder, Mr. Ramlal Agarwal, a renowned expert in herb identification and collection. Fascinated by the ancient Indian system of Ayurvedic medicine, he developed a deep interest in herbs and a passion for animal care. This led him to explore how these herbs could benefit animal health, marking the start of an exciting chapter in herbal medicines for the animal healthcare industry.
Continuing his legacy, his son, Mr. R.K. Agarwal established a small-scale R&D facility in Bangalore in 1970, fueling rigorous research. We combined traditional herbal knowledge with modern science to create innovative products for the evolving challenges in human and animal healthcare.
As our business grew, we needed a larger, more advanced research facility. In 1996, our existing R&D center was transformed into a state-of-the-art facility, equipped with modern technology and the latest lab instruments.
Modern Outlook
In 1998, under the dynamic leadership of our current Managing Director, Mr. Anurag Agarwal, our organization underwent a significant transformation. We rebranded as Natural Remedies and transitioned into a professionally managed enterprise, laying the foundation for future growth and innovation.
This pivotal change set the stage for our entry into the human healthcare market in 2000. We expanded our expertise, leveraging our extensive knowledge of herbal remedies to develop high-quality solutions for both human and animal health. Our commitment to rigorous research and development, coupled with our focus on integrating traditional knowledge with modern science, allowed us to create products that meet the highest standards of efficacy and safety.
Under Mr. Agarwal’s leadership, Natural Remedies has grown into a trusted name in the healthcare industry, known for our dedication to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. We continue to push the boundaries of herbal medicine, striving to improve the health and well-being of our customers worldwide.
