India is one of the largest pharmaceutical markets in the world, and many entrepreneurs are entering the industry by launching their own pharma brand. If you want to sell medicines under your own name without investing in a full-scale manufacturing unit, the best option is to register your brand and collaborate with a third-party pharma manufacturer or PCD Pharma Franchise company.
At Scotec Pharma, a WHO-GMP certified pharmaceutical company in Ambala, Haryana, we help startups, distributors, and business owners build their own brands with high-quality medicines, attractive packaging, and reliable delivery.
Hereβs a step-by-step guide on how to register your pharma brand in India.
β Step 1: Decide Your Business Model
You have two main options:
Third-Party Manufacturing β Get your medicines manufactured under your brand name.
PCD Pharma Franchise β Partner with a pharma company and sell their products in your region with monopoly rights.
π Both options are cost-effective and ideal for new entrepreneurs.
β Step 2: Choose Your Pharma Product Range
Select the category of medicines you want to launch. Options include:
Allopathic Medicines (Tablets, Capsules, Syrups, Injections)
Ayurvedic & Herbal Products
Nutraceuticals & Supplements
Specialty Segments (Cardiac, Diabetic, Derma, Pediatrics, Gynecology, etc.)
π‘ Tip: Study market demand in your region before finalizing the range.
