About Pankajakasthuri
Achieving complete healthcare and harmony of body, mind and soul through Ayurveda.
Yes, like all the events that change the course of the world, this too started with a vision in a brilliant brain with a courageous mind.
Dr. J. Hareendran Nair had unlocked the troves of Ayurveda - realised its astounding power of healing and then imbibed its wisdom to prevent imbalance of the body. But for this great visionary, his knowledge and discoveries in Ayurveda were something the world should benefit and know about as early as possible.
So he went out with his research to that one place where most dared not to – the market!!
That is how Pankajakasthuri was born in 1988.
His untiring efforts, dedication and commitment paved the way for Pankajakasthuri’s exponential growth from a small makeshift development centre and clinic to one of Kerala’s largest pharmaceutical corporate.
Pankajakasthuri, synonymous with the ancient knowledge of medicine, is a boon for the modern times. Believed and proved so, time and again!!
"We have built an institution that dwells on the power of Ayurveda for the world – through our products and medicines. Providing relief and health through Ayurveda means bringing the body back into balance.
All our institutions and achievements aim to widen the influence of Ayurveda to an extent where the entire world uses Ayurveda at least for meeting a part of his or her general health care needs and healthy build up."
Dr. J Hareendran Nair
Managing Director, Pankajakasthuri
Pankajakasthuri was formed with the vision of employing ways of treating disorders and promoting health using natural resources only. It emphasizes prevention and empowers everyone to take responsibility for their own well-being. We want to cure diseases which other systems of medicines presumed incurable.
Over the years Pankajakasthuri has evolved a lot but the values it's built on remain the same.

Growing together!!
Long before the idea of giving back to the society was christened as Corporate Social Responsibility, Pankajakasthuri stood by the society. For us, it was the most obvious and logical path to take – for we believed that universe has divided the same bread to different people differently.
Starting “Padheyam” in 2006 was one of the dreams come true and from there on we only added more and more dreams to help the society.
A bird’s eye view of the social initiatives by the Pankajakasthuri foundation is graphed below.
