Our Story
Science can be a potent catalyst for change and transformation. This conviction in the power of science to improve health outcomes and uplift communities served as the guiding light for our founder, Dr. Desh Bandhu Gupta, and for Lupin, the company he founded in 1968.
DBG, as Mr. Gupta was fondly called, began teaching at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science in Pilani, Rajasthan, after completing his post-graduate degree in science. However, DBG had the desire to harness the power of science for his country – to bring about change and to improve healthcare in India.
Big things are often seeded in modest beginnings, and so it was for Lupin too. In 1968, DBG founded Lupin with ?5000 borrowed from his wife. Through sheer grit, determination and perseverance, he expanded his business and soon set up Lupin’s first manufacturing plant supplying iron and folic acid tablets for the Government of India’s flagship programme aimed at improving mother and child health.
Fight Against Tuberculosis
Lupin commenced operations as a manufacturer of vitamins, and soon started producing drugs to combat tuberculosis (TB). The decision was anchored by DBG’s desire to reduce the burden of one of the most pervasive and debilitating diseases in India, despite stringent price controls on anti-TB drugs by the government.
Over the years, Lupin has grown and expanded into new areas and regions, manufacturing drugs that extend the promise of good health to communities across the globe. Beginning with two employees — a peon-cum-packer and a part-time typist — Lupin’s current global footprint spans 11 countries, across six continents. This journey has been made possible thanks to the vision and conviction of Mr. Desh Bandhu Gupta.
