'S. K.Burman' was the founder of Dabur. He was trained as a physician in Bengal. His mission was to provide effective and affordable cure for ordinary people in far-flung villages. Soon, he started preparing Ayurvedic or natural remedies for diseases such as cholera, malaria and plague. Due to his natural and cheap remedies, he became to be known as 'Daktar' which is doctor in Indian languages. And that is how his venture Dabur got its name - derived from the Devanagri rendition of Daktar Burman(Da-Bur). Dr. Burman set up Dabur in 1884 to produce and dispense Ayurvedic medicines.
