Understanding Certifications & Compliance

In the pharmaceutical industry, certifications aren't just checkboxes — they are the foundation of trust, safety, and business legitimacy. Whether you're a new entrant or looking to expand your pharma venture, understanding and achieving the right certifications is critical to your success. However, navigating these regulatory pathways can feel complex and time-consuming.

That’s where VTV Formulations makes it easier. We simplify the process and walk you through every step so you're never alone in your journey to compliance.

Through our blogs, you’ll discover:

1. What WHO-GMP certification really means — and how it strengthens your brand’s credibility in both Indian and international markets.
2. A step-by-step breakdown of the drug license application process, including state-specific nuances and online application tips.
3. A clear checklist of essential documents, such as site layout plans, ownership or rental agreements, educational certificates, and valid ID proofs.
4. How to distinguish and understand certifications like DCGI, ISO, FSSAI, and when each applies in your pharma journey.

At VTV Formulations, we don’t just manufacture — we help you stay ahead of the regulatory curve, ensuring your pharma business always remains compliant, credible, and competitive.

PCD & Franchise Models: A Smart Business Opportunity

Breaking into the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t have to mean massive capital investments, building infrastructure from scratch, or navigating the complexities of manufacturing regulations. With the rise of the PCD (Propaganda Cum Distribution) franchise model, aspiring entrepreneurs now have an accessible and scalable pathway to enter the pharma space — even with limited resources.

This business model is revolutionizing how pharma brands grow and distribute their products. Instead of setting up your own production unit, you partner with an established manufacturer like VTV Formulations, gain access to a ready-to-market range of high-quality medicines, and start distributing under your own brand name. It eliminates the operational burden while giving you full control over marketing, distribution, and regional branding.

Why is this model gaining momentum across India? Because it combines low investment with high growth potential. You don’t need a factory or a team of scientists — you just need a vision, basic licensing, and a reliable partner. Whether you’re a medical representative looking to grow independently, a wholesaler branching into retail, or a business-minded individual aiming to start something of your own, the PCD model offers unmatched flexibility.
