Vd. Krushnashastri Puranik (18391905) Was a Renowned and Established Ayurvedic Physician Practising At Panvel. this Was An Era When Individual Ayurvedic Physicians Were On Rise, Away from Established Guru Shishya Parampara. One Day At His Clinic An Incident Happened Which Sparked the Birth of a Great Enterprise. a Prescription Given By Him Was Wrongly Dispensed By An Incompetent Compounder. this Brought Forth a Need for Standardized Ayurvedic Formulations, Which Would Help Ayurvedic Physicians to Concentrate On Patient Treatment and Save Them from Time
consuming Task of Preparing Medicines Themselves At Their Clinics. in Those Days Establishing An Indian Company Was a Novelty But Vaidya Krishnashastri Puranik Knew that the Imperativeness of Quality for the Best Treatment of Ayurved is as Important as Air for Breathing. He Therefore On the Sound Platform of 'quality' Laid the Seed of 'shree Dhootapapeshwar Aryoaushadhi Karkhana' of Panvel.
