About Business

Dormant Pharma Marketing & Distribution Company in Kolkata – Seeking Investment or Full Acquisition

Overview:
A Kolkata-based pharmaceutical marketing and distribution company, incorporated in 2013, is currently dormant and seeking strategic investment or a full sale to revive operations. Before becoming non-operational due to post-pandemic challenges, the business was engaged in the marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical and nutritional products under its own brand names, supported by a structured distribution network and third-party manufacturing arrangements.

Product Range (Previously Marketed):
- Vitamin-based medicines (capsules, tablets)
- Multivitamin and nutritional supplements (e.g., calcium citrate with Vitamin D₃, lycopene syrup)
- Personal protective equipment (PPE), including sanitizers, gloves, and face masks

Certifications & Infrastructure:
- Registered under MSME
- Export license acquired (renewal required)
- Strong relationships with certified third-party manufacturers
- Previously operated through a prescription-based marketing model supported by a trained field force (Medical Representatives and Area Sales Managers)

Past Business Highlights:
- Recorded a turnover of ₹42 lakhs in FY 2020 with profitable operations
- Business became dormant due to a sharp drop in demand and financial limitations post-COVID
- Outstanding liabilities of approximately ₹20 lakhs, to be addressed as part of the revival plan

Business Model (Pre-Dormancy):
The company followed a prescription-driven marketing strategy, with its field team generating demand through medical professionals. Distribution was handled via a robust supply chain: chemists sourced products from authorized distributors, who in turn received stock from a centrally located CFA. Finished goods were manufactured by reputed third-party facilities—many of which also cater to leading pharma brands like Abbott and Wockhardt—ensuring high product quality.

Export Potential:
Prior to the dormancy, the business had completed the necessary formalities for export operations and had initiated contact with international buyers, indicating strong potential for global market engagement post-revival.
