Our Story

IMIS products are the result of a ancient rich Telugu culture manufacture and medicinal culture, that weaves traditional benefits into our modern lives.

1890
Ayurveda Vidwan and Bhishagratna P.C. Ayyavarappaya treated patients and prepared his own Ayurvedic medicines. Over time, he began supplying these remedies to other Vaidyas across the then Madras Presidency, receiving orders and dispatching medicines through the Indian postal system. According to legend, a post office was established in the village of Peridepi to meet the growing demand for these medicinal deliveries.
1921

Ayurveda Vidwan and Bhishagratna P.C.Ayyavarappayya Authored ‘Ayurveda Vaidya Sangrahamu’ Volumes 1 and 2 in Telugu. The first volume contains over 600 treatment modes, and the second volume is a book of formulations which went into several reprints thereafter. He also authored an Ayurvedic medical dictionary and other treatises.

1929

Vaidya Vidwan Dubagunta Subramaniam arrived in Vijayawada in 1929, with a small chest of herbs & medicines, a vast knowledge & practice of Ayurveda and a firm desire to serve the ailing and needy. He carried on the legacy of Ayurveda Vidwan and Bhishagratna P.C.Ayyavarappayya and gradually started making his own medicines in Vijayawada.

1956

Dr.D.L.Narayana BCom, DAM carried on the legacy of his father Vaidya Vidwan Dubagunta Subramaniam and grandfather Ayurveda Vidwan and Bhishagratna P.C.Ayyavarappayya. He established a successful clinical practice as an Ayurveda Physician in Vijayawada. In response to a growing need for quality ayurvedic medicines, he expanded the manufacturing and distribution network of ayurvedic medicines to all parts of combined Andhra Pradesh under the name and style of Indian Medicines Sales House (IMSH).

1970

Dr.D.L.Narayana together with his spouse Dr.D.Indumathi independently set up a manufacturing unit under the name Indian Medicine Industries (IMIS).
