About Us

In 1933, the visionary Late Shree Laxmi Prasad Gupta embarked on a remarkable journey to bring the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to the forefront of healthcare, at a time when herbal medicines were largely viewed with skepticism. This bold effort led to the establishment of Gupta Ayurvedic Pharmacy (Guapha) in Rath, Hamirpur (U.P.). His belief in the therapeutic power of herbal medicines was unwavering, despite the challenges posed by the prevailing attitudes towards traditional remedies. He was driven by the conviction that Ayurveda had the potential to be recognized on the same level as conventional medicine, with herbal formulations evaluated for their quality, safety, and efficacy. With this vision, he began manufacturing a variety of pharmacopeial and patent Ayurvedic medicines, marking the beginning of what would become a respected name in the field of Ayurvedic pharmaceuticals.

This pioneering vision was inherited and further advanced by his brother, Late Shree Moti Lal Gupta, who significantly expanded the company’s reach. Under his leadership, Guapha's products gained widespread recognition not only in Uttar Pradesh but also across neighboring states such as Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Odisha, and beyond. The growing demand for Guapha’s trusted Ayurvedic formulations led to a sevenfold increase in product demand, making it a household name in many regions of India.

Recognizing the need to scale production while maintaining high-quality standards, Gupta Ayurvedic Pharmacy Private Limited was established in 1987 with a modern, state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Jabalpur. This facility was a milestone in the company’s history, enabling it to meet the surging demand for its products while ensuring that traditional Ayurvedic principles remained at the core of its operations. From its inception, the plant was headed by Dr. Jaimangal Prasad Gupta, the son of the founder, who brought over 30 years of experience in the field of pharmacy to the helm. Dr. Gupta dedicated himself fully to advancing Ayurvedic medicine through scientific research, development, and production, thus bridging the gap between ancient knowledge and modern scientific standards.

Under his leadership, Guapha became known not only for its adherence to traditional Ayurvedic formulations but also for its commitment to innovation and research. The company’s manufacturing processes were continuously refined to incorporate advancements in technology while staying true to the authenticity and purity of its Ayurvedic roots.

The marketing division of the company was led by Dr. Suman Gupta, wife of Dr. Jaimangal Prasad Gupta, and their son, Mr. Utkarsh Gupta, who holds an M.B.A. and brings a wealth of industrial knowledge and marketing expertise to the company. With a keen understanding of contemporary market trends and consumer needs, Utkarsh Gupta played a crucial role in modernizing the company’s approach, seamlessly integrating technology with traditional Ayurvedic methods. His forward-thinking strategies propelled Guapha into new markets and expanded its reach, taking the brand to new heights.

Guapha’s modern manufacturing facility is fully equipped with the necessary infrastructure to produce high-quality Ayurvedic products while adhering to stringent quality control measures. The unit operates under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as per Schedule T of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, ensuring that all products meet the highest standards of safety and efficacy. The facility is staffed with skilled professionals, and it includes an in-house drug testing laboratory to ensure that all products undergo rigorous testing before reaching the market.

The company’s constant commitment to innovation, quality, and adherence to the core principles of Ayurveda has allowed it to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace. By combining ancient wisdom with modern scientific research and production techniques, Guapha has successfully upheld the legacy of its founder while continuing to evolve in the ever-changing landscape of healthcare.
