measures from
Mr. Nimish Thakkar,
Chairman & Managing
Director of Zuvius
Zuvius Lifesciences is fostered by
the dynamic visionary, Mr. Nimish
Thakkar. He is a pioneering leader
in the pharma industry who vowed
to change ugly the fate of cancer
back in 2005. Mr. Thakkar began
his entrepreneurial journey at a
tender age of 19. Pharmacy was
his passion but entrepreneurship
ran in his blood. Right from the
beginning, he believed in bold
moves, disruptive thoughts and
unconventional strides. As a young
audacious apprentice, he took the
less traversed road and entered
the pharmaceutical industry with
his own distributor agency. With
passion in his eyes, hunger in his
heart and a clear vision in his
mind, the tycoon devoted his time
in culling the skilled know-how of
the pharmaceutical industry and
forming a team that would be
the rock pillars to big endeavors.
There is nothing more
important for a successful
business than a well-
defined mission and vision
statements. Can you explain
your M&V statements in
brief?
Our vision is to beat cancer and the
day is not far away when people will
say “Cancer? We are not worried,
Zuvius Lifesciences is here”. Our
mission is to spread good health
across the globe, that’s why Zuvius
is constantly striving to maximize
the potential of its products, not just
in efficacy but in the safety of the
Nimish Thakkar, Chairman & MD
prospect as well. Anti-Cancer drugs
are linked to several side-effects and
it is our constant endeavor not only
to free people from the clench of
cancer but also to help them return
to optimum health!
What do you hope to
accomplish in the long run?
Our aim is to make cancer a curable
disease, and with Zuvius’ quality
medicines we see that happening in
the near future. The advancement
of technology, better facility, and
breakthrough medications can
surely bring us a day when cancer
would not a life-threating disease.
We at Zuvius Lifesciences strive to
assist and help the cancer patients
overcome their disease and make
their families happy and healthy.
If you had one piece of advice
to someone just starting out,
what would it be?
Never compromise your integrity
for anything in the world. If you are
doing something against the voice of
your heart then it’s not worth doing
it.
