HimPharm Through the Years - History and Milestones
Tracing over a century of expertise, innovation, and commitment to quality in health and wellness manufacturing.
1900s – 1950s | Foundations & Discovery
HimPharm’s origins date back to 1905 when Moti Sood founded the business in Kullu, Himachal Pradesh. The early decades saw expansion into herbal trades across India and Tibet, pioneering natural ingredient sourcing and laying the foundation for future innovation.
1905, The Humble Beginnings: HimPharm’s remarkable journey began in 1905 when Dasondhi Mal Sood founded the company in the scenic town of Kullu, Himachal Pradesh. He kick-started HimPharm with a novel concept—barter trade of herbs with Tibet. India’s rich herbs were exchanged for the treasures of Tibet, including herbs and exquisite handicrafts.
1912, Expanding Horizons: Recognizing the potential, HimPharm expanded its repertoire by adding an array of herbs to its list. Dasondhi ventured into markets in Bombay and Delhi, introducing the exotic Tibet and Himalayan herbs to traders and consumers.
1920, Passing the Torch: In 1920, HimPharm saw a significant development as Dashondhi’s eldest son, Kuljas Rai, joined the company in a leadership role, bringing fresh perspectives and energy to the business.
1922, A Visionary Partnership: Under Kuljas Rai’s stewardship, HimPharm ventured into an ambitious partnership, forming “Gyan Chand Ram Gopal” in Amritsar, Punjab. This collaboration tapped into the bustling marketplace of Indian herbs and spices at the time.
1957, Going Global: With the aspiration to establish a global presence in the herb and spice trade, HimPharm, under Kuljas Rai’s guidance, founded “Himalayan Traders” in Amritsar. This marked the company’s entry into international trade, specializing in herbs, spices, and artisanal handicrafts.
1958, A Breakthrough: HimPharm’s reputation soared, leading to a supply agreement with the emerging pharmaceutical manufacturer, Cipla, for the supply of Dioscorea deltodia roots from the Himalayan region. This partnership marked a significant milestone.
1960s – 1990s | Expansion & Innovation
HimPharm grew from a regional enterprise into a recognized pharmaceutical manufacturer, introducing new herbal and pharmaceutical products and forming partnerships with leading companies. The “Healing Herbs” division was established, blending traditional knowledge with modern scientific methods.

1982, A Pioneering Partnership: HimPharm achieved a major milestone with its first sale to Wyeth, marking the beginning of a long and successful partnership. HimPharm became a preferred supplier for Diosgenin and 16DPA to Wyeth and Wyeth Lederle (now Pfizer).
