The beginning of a journey
Circa 1974. Emami was established by childhood friends RS Agarwal and RS Goenka, and fathers of Aditya Agarwal and Manish Goenka, with the idea of launching a business that was indigenous to our country. Having left their high-profile jobs with the Birla Group, they set up Kemco Chemicals, an ayurvedic medicine and cosmetic manufacturing unit in 1974 with a meagre capital of 20,000.
RS Agarwal, Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary, LLB with a Master's degree in Commerce, and RS Goenka, M.Com and LLB, with expertise in taxation, and finance, were powered by their keen sense of consumer insight and business vision. Realising the importance of herbal revolution of Ayurveda, they started manufacturing cosmetic products and ayurvedic medicines under the brand name of Emami from a small office in the humble lanes of Burra Bazaar in Kolkata.
