In the quiet months following the second wave of COVID-19 , as India slowly began to rebuild, a young man from a small town in

North India found himself at a crossroads. The pandemic had shaken  his family’s finances. His job had disappeared. But his ambition hadn’t. He had a dream — to start something of his own, something meaningful. Something in wellness. He believed in Ayurveda, had seen its power in his home, and wanted to share it with others.

But there was one problem.

All he had was ₹15,000.

The Beginning of a Dream

With limited money, no product, no business experience, and no brand name, he began searching for opportunities. That’s when he came across Minakshi Laboratories Pvt. Ltd., a trusted name in the manufacturing of herbal, nutraceutical, Ayurvedic, and cosmetic products since 1998.

He dialed the number listed on the website — hesitant, unsure, and a little nervous. What he didn’t expect was the voice on the other end to listen to his story — and take it seriously.

“Don’t worry,” we said. “We’ve helped many like you. If you have the passion, we’ll take care of the rest.”

That phone call changed everything.

Building Something From Nothing

We didn't just treat him like a customer — we treated him like a partner. With his ₹15,000, we carefully curated a starter kit of fast-moving Ayurvedic and herbal products for his new PCD franchise. We helped him understand margins, pricing, and how to approach local chemists and wellness stores. When he needed marketing help, we supported him with WhatsApp posters, product catalogs, and even guided him in setting up his digital presence. He began posting regularly on Facebook, sending product lists to retailers, and making personal calls. Slowly, orders started coming in — small ones at first, but consistent.

New Idea Takes Shape

Months passed. His confidence grew. He called us one evening and said, "Sir, what if I make my own product? Something I believe in — a pain relief oil?" We loved the idea. Working with our formulation experts, we crafted a premium herbal pain relief oil using Ayurvedic ingredients like eucalyptus, pudina, and wintergreen. We designed his label, ensured full compliance, and produced the first batch. When the product launched under his brand, it was an instant hit.

Growth That Speaks for Itself

By mid-2024, his oil was available in 14 states across India. He had built a distribution network, earned the trust of customers, and even received bulk orders from wellness retailers and e-commerce resellers. What started as a ₹15,000 experiment was now a recognized herbal product — made at Minakshi Laboratories, marketed by him, and loved by thousands. He didn't stop there. He's now working with us to expand into cosmetics and nutraceuticals.
