Amrutanjan Healthcare Limited is an Indian pharmaceutical company established by Kasinadhuni Nageswara Rao in Mumbai in 1893.


History

Amrutanjan was established as a patent medicine business in Mumbai in 1893 by K. Nageswara Rao Pantulu who was a journalist, social reformer and freedom fighter.The headquarters were shifted to Chennai in 1914.

Even today,the words "Bombay" are inscribed along with Amrutanjan on the lid of its most well-known product, the pain balm. In 1936, Amrutanjan became a public limited company with the name Amrutanjan Limited. Kasinathuni Nageswara Rao popularised the balm by distributing it free-of-cost at music concerts.

On 13 November 2007, the company changed its name from Amrutanjan Limited to Amrutanjan Healthcare Limited and has ever since been known by that name.

On 4 July 2002, Amrutanjan Healthcare entered the U.S. market. As of 2014, it is headed by Sambhu Prasad, the grandson of Nageshwara Rao.
