VHB's origins can be traced back to 1946, when Mr. Ramesh C. Bhagat began importing life saving drugs, vaccines, anticancer drugs, sutures and other critical products not available in India. VHB popularized the very concept of “preventive medicine” when they introduced several vaccines in India. VHB has contributed immensely to the fight against cancer by pioneering several anti-neoplastic drugs for the first time in India. VHB can also be called as one of the leaders in critical care medicine in India. Today, every intensive care unit in India uses one or many of VHB’s products.

Today, that dream is a reality with the Injectable Antibiotic unit and Anti-cancer unit being fully operational. The hi-tech, environment-friendly unit has earned VHB the award for the “most technically & scientifically advanced Pharmaceutical Manufacturing unit” at the Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit 2009. For his immense contribution to the development of specialty healthcare in India, the chairman of VHB Group, Mr. Ramesh Bhagat also received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the summit.
