Our story
Adding to life care since 2011.
From a single R&D center to a vertically integrated bulk drugs operation, our growth is the product of conviction, craft and a refusal to compromise on quality.
Antique Healthcare LLP was founded on a simple belief — that the global pharmaceutical industry deserves a manufacturing partner that combines technical depth with operational discipline.
From setting up the R&D center in 2011, our founder Jayantibhai Padsumbiya has guided the company through every stage of vertical integration, building economies of scale and an extremely skilled team that enables timely delivery of quality products at affordable prices.
Today, Antique Healthcare LLP operates a cGMP- and WHO-compliant integrated manufacturing facility serving pharmaceutical formulation partners around the world, backed by the same quality systems we hold ourselves to internally.
From the founder
“We foster excellence through innovation supported by strong R&D capabilities — and by the quality of the people who deliver it.”

What we stand for
Four values, applied everywhere.
01
Quality is non-negotiable
Every batch is manufactured and tested to cGMP and WHO standards before it ever earns the Antique name.
02
On-time, every time
Our vertically integrated model exists so a client's production schedule never has to wait on ours.
03
Affordable, without cutting corners
Economies of scale let us hold the line on price without compromising a single specification.
04
R&D is the engine, not a department
Every process we run today started as a question our research team was free to ask.
