India is undergoing various socio-economic changes and due to this the population is dealing with all adverse consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. Indian cuisine is traditionally oily and spicy and that coupled with minimal to zero activity, has led India to become the Diabetes and Cardio-Vascular Disease Capital of the World. Economic Development has led to magnified stress levels and concurrently healthcare costs have also risen astronomically.
GenLife, Quality of Life Division of Generix Lifesciences Pvt Ltd, is the only company in India to market unique / innovative Nutraceuticals and Cosmeceuticals, both as preventive and curative therapies, only through doctors’ prescriptions. After studying the development of disease prevention concept globally and conducting a consumer survey in India, the founders of GenLife realized that the time had come for Indians to focus on prevention of disease and subsequently improve the general quality of life. However, unlike other developed markets where an aware consumer base buys these products over the counter on their own, in India due to lack of awareness GenLife believes that by pushing Nutraceuticals and Cosmeceuticals through Doctor’s prescriptions, information regarding a healthy life style will percolate to the consumers and eventually create awareness in the long run.
The Glittery Past and The Spectacular Now
The initial days of GenLife have been as glorious as the present scenario itself. The launch was held in a glittering function at Darbar Hall, Taj Palace Hotel, New Delhi on 31st July, 2011. It was attended by more than 250 eminent doctors and many distinguished stalwarts of the pharmaceutical industry. During the launch itself, GenLife introduced 4 Japanese Products. The respective Japanese Manufacturers also made a detailed technical presentation to the Doctors regarding their products. Like an icing on the cake, the launch event also included a live session of music with the band “Indian Ocean”.
Ever since its launch, GenLife has constantly focused its efforts on concept marketing its unique and innovative premium Nutraceutical and Cosmeceutical products to top specialists / Doctors to create an enviable niche for itself. Promoted by pharmaceutical professionals, GenLife has expanded its Sales operations geographically to Mumbai in March 2012, Hyderabad in October 2012, Pune in February 2013, Bangalore in July 2016 and Ahmedabad in April 2017.
