Early Life
4

He was born in Amritsar in 1942, during the
Second World War. His family had to move to
Deoghar soon after the establishment of Dabur
factory in Bihar. After the war got over, his
family moved to Kolkata. There, he was sent to a
Hindi
medium school.
In 1951, Mr. Burman and his brother were
enrolled in St. Paul, Darjeeling, an esteemed
english-medium school and Mr. Burman excelled in
academics. Apart from studies, he enjoyed
cricket, soccer, gymnastics and boxing.
In 1960, he went off to the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT), USA to get a
degree in Mechanical Engineering. While studying
there, he continued to pursue his interests in
wrestling, swimming and reading in his leisure
time.

Professional Life

After graduating from the MIT, Mr. Burman
migrated to Canada and started working in
Canadian Industries Ltd.He returned to Kolkata,
India in 1967, where he joined Dabur India Ltd.
as an executive. Meanwhile, the situation in
Bengal had worsened because of the Naxal
movement. Amidst the unrest, curfews and lengthy
power cuts, Dabur decided to shift its operations
to Delhi. Mr. Burman was truly fascinated by
Ayurveda. He mused about the difference between
modern and ancient science, and realised that
both can be merged. Hence, the Dabur motto
Traditional Knowledge, Modern Research.

Dabur had a new project, in collaboration with a
Swiss company, Unipectin. The factory of which
was set up in Alwar, Rajasthan. It became
functional in 1983 and was Daburs first public
venture in India. Later, the plant was shut down
after it failed to cover its costs. The factory
was then converted into a manufacturing unit for
Dabur products and the Guar Gum Company was also
merged with it.
In 1992, Pradip Burman moved to Delhi and
started a new venture A veterinary division of
Dabur India Ltd that manufactured Ayurvedic
medicine for animals . It was sold under the
divisional name of Dabur Ayurvet Ltd and the
consultant firm, McKinsey Co. was called in to
professionalise the same. Eventually, unhappy
with the interference by McKinsey, Mr. Burman
took over the firm and named it as Ayurvet Ltd.

Mr. Burman headed the PHD Rural Development
Foundation from 1996-99. He is also the founder
chairman of Sustainable Development Society
(Sundesh), a CSR initiative supported by Dabur,
for development work in the rural areas. He
serves as the chairman of Mobius Foundation, a
non-profit organisation working for education,
sustainability and environment protection.

AGES
Founded by Pradip Burman, Alternative Green
Energy Solution (AGES) is a company dedicated
solely to provide Hydroponic Green Feed
throughout the year in our work towards
sustainable energy.The word hydroponics comes
from two Greek words, "hydro" meaning water and
"ponics" meaning labour. Plants require 3 things
to flourish - Water, nutrients and sunlight, and
hydroponics is a straightforward way of providing
all these nutrients, without the need of soil,
under controlled conditions to optimize growth.
Today, hydroponics is used in harsh climates,
such as deserts, areas with poor soil quality or
in urban areas where high land costs have driven
out traditional agriculture. Hydroponic fodder
production is probably best-suited to semi-arid,
arid, and drought-prone regions of the world
suffering from chronic water shortages or in
areas where irrigation infrastructure simply does
not exist.
