Mumbai/New Delhi, April 27, 2022 :
Born in 1922, Mr G V Masurkar was the son of Shrimati Rukhma Vitthal Masurkar, a woman pharmaceutical entrepreneur in 1930s rural Karnataka popular for her home-made skin remedies. Inspired by his mother’s life struggles and passion for developing medicines, he adopted pharmacy as a profession and started his career as a pharmaceutical representative at Duphar Interfran Limited (formerly known as Crookes Interfran Ltd.) in the 1960s. His passion for innovative medicine & electric dynamism allowed him to rapidly move up the ladder right to the top position of marketing & sales manager of the company. He was instrumental in bringing newer innovative medicines from the UK & Europe including paracetamol, Lacto-calamine, vitamin D etc. into INDIA and launching them successfully in the market for the first time.
G V Masurkar’s entrepreneurial spirit & strong interest in areas of ophthalmic, ENT & Dermatology medicines encouraged him to take early retirement in the late 1970s from Duphar Interfran Limited and set up his own speciality pharmaceutical venture :ENTOD Pharmaceuticals Ltd. with almost zero capital investment. ENTOD started off as a contract manufacturer for sterile, injectable and dermatology products in the year 1977 by establishing two manufacturing units.
Speaking about his entrepreneurship spirit, Executive Director of ENTOD Pharmaceuticals, Nikkhil K Masurkar said , “He was a mentor to all of us. He always took the time out to connect, listen, discuss, and point out new opportunities. He was passionate and fascinated by all aspects of healthcare and probably that’s why he was always trying to make a difference for patients with life-changing solutions across the therapeutic spectrum.
“The greatest asset of Mr G V Masurkar was his consistency in following a strict ethical business model based on integrity, trust & honesty and to always ensure that everyone in the organisation is treated with the same level of respect, love and care irrespective of their title, position and background. He established a unique family-based working culture & value system within ENTOD that today forms the backbone of the organisation.
