Engaging in an exclusive interaction with CEO Insights, Abha Damani, Director of ICPA Health Products highlights the distinctiveness of the brand as one of the premium healthcare products providers of the country.
What was the idea behind the establishment of ICPA Health Products?
ICPA was established with the intention of creating a Company that offers high quality research based products to serve the growing needs of the people of our country. The approach was to create high quality focused brands in niche segments. We felt that in the oral healthcare products segment, not only were there opportunities but we would be able to stand out amongst the doctors and the consumers. Patient Safety & Customer Satisfaction have always been our priority.
What are the challenges you encountered by you during your journey as the director of ICPA Health Products?
When my father started the company in 1972, the healthcare sector was dominated by big multinationals in India. There was very little awareness about dental care, as people thought tooth
extraction to be the only solution for any dental problem. Nobody had really thought of preserving the tooth and working on oral hygiene. People were yet to understand the benefits of using a mouthwash as they were happy with the saltwater gargles. So, the initial challenge was creating the need for our products that would be not only be accepted by the consumers but will also be fiercely sought by them.
So, my father started educating the consumers and the doctors that such products are available in the market now and can be provided to them. We tried to reach out to as many doctors and consumers as we could to create awareness and to offer products that patients could always trust.
When I joined the company, we were well established and our products were well acknowledged by the dental fraternity. Since we wanted to get into new international markets and the pharmaceutical production norms were getting more stringent, we gradually initiated our new manufacturing facility.
We expanded our manufacturing facility and modernized it to meet International Standards of production and documentation, training the team for the requirements of tomorrow. Basically, we prepared ourselves for the needs of the growing market that we wanted to reach. I am glad to say that with Innovation, Professional Execution, Passion and Ethics we have driven the Company to High Standards of Performance.
