Is a PCD franchise available in Surat?
It depends on the division. We run 8 of them and each carries its own monopoly allotment for Surat, so even when one is taken others are often still open. Send us your drug licence number and the therapy you want, and we will confirm the same day.
Which areas does a Surat territory cover?
Normally Surat along with Navsari, Bardoli, Vyara, Kamrej, Olpad, Mandvi, Palsana, Kim, Sachin, Hazira - 10 areas in all. Navsari is usually the first of these a new partner works, being closest. The boundary is written into the agreement before your first order.
How long does delivery to Surat take?
Surat is about 1,250 km from Derabassi, four days by road. Goods leave within two to three working days of payment clearing.
Can I visit the factory from Surat?
Yes, and we encourage it. Our unit is about 1,250 km from Derabassi, four days by road. Come by appointment and we will show you the plant, the batch records and the certifications - it is the most useful check you can make before choosing any manufacturer.
Does this cover the rest of Gujarat?
No. A Surat appointment covers Surat and the areas attached to it. The rest of Gujarat is allotted separately - see our Gujarat page for the full district list.
Are your products DCGI approved?
This is worth getting straight, because the phrase is used loosely in this trade. New drugs are approved by the DCGI at the central level; a manufacturing licence for an already-approved molecule is issued by the State Drug Controller under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. Our unit holds those licences and works to CDSCO standards, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis. Any company telling you each of its ordinary products is individually DCGI approved is stretching the truth.
Is only one partner appointed per district?
One partner per division. We run 8 separate divisions, so more than one partner can work the same district under different divisions without their products clashing.
