In 1965, in a modest corner of Ludhiana, a single medical retail counter opened its shutters to the world. It wasn’t grand or high-tech, but it carried something priceless: trust. That small beginning would lay the foundation for what would become one of the region’s most trusted names in pharmaceuticals — Pious Bioteca.
The Beginning of a Legacy
The journey of Pious Bioteca is deeply rooted in family values and a commitment to community wellness. In an era when healthcare access was still growing in India, the founders of the business took it upon themselves to provide genuine medicines and honest advice. Patients and families depended on that little counter not just for prescriptions, but for care.
Growth Through Purpose
As demand grew, so did the business. By 1993, what started as a single outlet had evolved into a network of retail stores. With the expansion came new responsibilities — the team ventured into wholesale and hospital supply, ensuring that medicines could reach every corner where they were needed. This phase marked the transition from a retailer to a reliable supply partner.
The Manufacturing Leap
The turn of the millennium brought the next leap forward. In 2000, the family launched their first pharmaceutical manufacturing plant. With a clear focus on quality, the facility allowed the business to control the production process end-to-end. Just six years later, they scaled operations into a larger, more advanced facility. This wasn’t just about growth in volume — it was about raising the standards of healthcare manufacturing.
Stepping onto the Global Stage
By 2016, the journey took a global turn. Pious Bioteca began importing and exporting Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and innovative products. This expansion brought new collaborations, licensing deals, and access to breakthrough formulations. With a rapidly growing reputation, the company built strong partnerships with multinational corporations, aligning its practices with global healthcare standards.
A New Chapter: Pious Bioteca Pvt. Ltd.
In 2025, the company unveiled its most advanced facility yet — Pious Bioteca Pvt. Ltd. This plant reflects everything the brand has stood for: innovation, care, and uncompromising quality. Built with cutting-edge infrastructure and designed to align with WHO-GMP standards, this facility marks a turning point. It is not just a plant; it’s a symbol of our future.
Looking Ahead
As we move towards WHO-GMP certification by 2026, our mission remains clear: to create accessible, safe, and world-class pharmaceutical products that make a difference. Our legacy fuels our passion, and our innovation shapes our future.
This is more than a success story. It’s a journey of purpose, guided by a belief that healthcare is a right, not a privilege. And we’re just getting started.
