Dr. Anand Burman,
Dabur India Limited
A buoyant consumer market lifted Anand Burman's fortune thanks to
his family's two-thirds stake in Dabur, which reported net earnings of
$152 million on $1.2 billion revenues in the last year. Its portfolio of
400 products includes honey, hair oil and fruit juices. Family also has
stakes in insurance, real estate and sports. Property arm, the quaintly
named Elephant London, is building residences in London's Battersea
area. The Burmans also co-own an upcoming tech park in Gurgaon,
near Delhi.
BRIEF PROFILE-
Dr. Anand Burman joined the Dabur family in the year 1980, after
earning a PhD degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from the prestigious University of Kansas. Also,
he earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin, USA; followed by a M.Sc. degree
from the University of Kansas. Further, Dr. Anand completed his schooling from the glorious St.
Paul’s School in Darjeeling.
BUSINESS JOURNEY
Dr. Anand Burman is currently the chairman of the 127 year old consumer goods maker, Dabur. Being
the India’s largest Ayurvedic medicine manufacturer, Dabur crossed the billion dollar mark in 2012
under the flagship of Dr. Burman. Founded in the year 1884 by a Bengali Physician, Dr. SK Burman,
the chunk of company share continues to belong to the family, which even today owns nearly two
thirds of the consumer goods firm.
Dr. Anand’s keen interest in Research and Development in the field of Biotechnology and
Pharmaceutical Sciences has been instrumental to the growth of the Dabur industry. Before the time
Dr. Anand had joined Dabur, it was generating revenue of nearly Rs. 20 crores, but after a decade; in
the 1990’s Dabur’s revenue had gone up to Rs. 100 crore.
Dr. Anand realised the enormous growth potential in the field of Ayurvedic medicine and keenly
studied the Indian consumer market. So, he devised strategies that would cater to the needs of the
Indian consumer in the best possible way.
LEADERSHIP QUALITY FACTOR:
Under the guidance of his uncle late G.C. Burman, Dr. Anand picked up the minute details of the
trade. He had two major strategies in mind for the growth of the company in future. First, he wished
to attract good talent to his company. So, made a sincere effort to recruit in some of the best and most
talented professionals of the field and was quite successful. Secondly, he wanted to avoid family
conflicts. So, he requested his family members to give up all the major executive positions in the
company to highly qualified professionals. Thus, by achieving these two motives, Dr. Anand brought
in a sense of ‘professionalism’ to the systems and processes of the company. From that moment
onwards there was no looking back. Hence, with in a short period of time, Dabur India Limited
emerged out as one of India’s biggest consumer brands.
