Dhanwanthari-
A mission and a philosophy..
Dhanwanthari
Vaidyasala, established by Vaidyan C.N. Namboodiri had its humble
origins in 1933. He was a visionary, inspirational leader and
a philanthropist who was ahead of his times. After 7 years of
academics at a gurukulam, he ventured into setting up Dhanwanthari
Vaidyasala, at the age of 25.Based on a framework of home grown
wisdom and intuition, he decided to brave his passion when modern
concepts of marketing was much in wanting. Today, he is credited
as a pioneer in institutionalising the concept of Ayurvedic
medicine marketing in Kerala. The name could carve a niche in
the market early on and spread its branches to all corners of
the country.
As early as
in the 1960’s, Dhanwanthari Vaidyasala had over 50 branches
and more than 100 agencies. It became the first Ayurvedic firm
from South India to explore the Delhi market and other major
centers in India. This network flourished under his meticulous
management and now has full- fledged treatment divisions in
Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Kannur and Thodupuzha.
Apart from placing
his firm meritoriously, Vaidyan C.N. Namboodiri proved to be
a physician of eminence too. He had patients from far corners
of the globe. He visited various states in America on request
from his patients in the early 70’s. His ideals and principles
are revered in its truest sense through the last seven decades
and will continue in the years to come.
