Fermenta Biotech Limited (earlier known as DIL Ltd.) is a well-respected public listed company. It has built a stellar reputation for itself in the arenas of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, environmental solutions and real estate.
The conglomerate of today certainly had quite humble beginnings. The late Dr. Datla Venkata Krishnam Raju or Dr. DVK Raju as he was fondly called; was a legend of extraordinary caliber, a man of vision and a pioneer of the Indian drug industry.
Born in a village in Andhra Pradesh, Dr. DVK Raju was a self-made man. Armed with a Doctorate in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from London School of Pharmacy, entrepreneurial acumen and a nationalistic outlook, he returned to India in 1948 to start an entrepreneurial venture.
On 1 May 1951, Dr. Raju incorporated ‘International Franchises Private Limited’, a company specializing in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products on behalf of multinational companies.
