The Beginning — Vision Behind VTV Formulations
VTV Formulations was founded in 2019 with a clear vision: to provide high-quality, affordable pharmaceutical products through reliable third-party manufacturing. At the time, the Indian pharmaceutical market was highly competitive, with many players claiming quality and compliance but often failing to deliver consistently. The founders of VTV Formulations recognized an opportunity to create a company that combined innovation, quality, and client-focused service.
The early mission focused on bridging the gap between pharma brands and reliable production. Many small and mid-sized companies struggled with high setup costs, limited production capacity, and regulatory complexities. VTV Formulations positioned itself as a strategic partner, offering end-to-end services that enabled clients to focus on branding, marketing, and distribution.
