2000, it entered into a tie-up with LDC Telecom, Oman to manufacture SDH, digital control

Caselet 2
Dr. K.K. Chauhan was basically a research scholar and master in his field. He had a dream of
becoming an entrepreneur. His dream came true in 1966 when he started a small pharmaceutical bulk
drug-manufacturing unit named Kusum laboratories at Industrial Estate of Indore (M.P.), India. Soon,
other renowned scientists and scientists and scholars in the area of chemistry joined him. The team
researched and developed better and economic ways to manufacture bulk drugs like, Niacinamide,
Thiacetazone, Isoniazid, Probenecid and Chloroquine Phosphate.The products of Kusum laboratories,
by virtue of its quality and price became very popular and soon the list of customers included big
brands like Bayer, Merck & others. The company grew in name, fame and size and very soon had a
workforce of about 40 workers, 9 chemists and a factory manager to look after the production. The
high demand and completion of process called for 24 hours running of the factory and thus it was
run in three shifts giving an output of 3.5 metric tons per month. The workers were treated as family
members and Dr. Chauhan personally used to enquire about the welfare of the workers. The

laboratory increased in size day-by-day and new departments like administration, accounts, stores and
personal were formed. This changed the entire scenario and by 1987, the factory had a production
workforce of 60 workers, 12 chemists and a factory manager giving a production of 60 MT/annum.
From the year 1996 to 1998, Kusum laboratories had come a long way. Things had changed at all
levels and Dr. Chauhan was no execution. His earlier modest thinking that he was only a part of the
institution’s success had now yielded to an arrogant belief that success was due to him alone. This
myopic vision started reflecting in the output of the...
Chloroquine phosphate manufacturing unit. 60% of in-house production was being used for domestic
market and the company began exporting the rest to South Africa, Pakistan, CIS, and the Gulf
countries.
