Founded in 1964, the company specializes in developing and manufacturing bulk drugs and pharmaceutical formulations. Over forty-five years it has grown from a chemist shop into a multi-national entity with sales revenues of over $40 million. Jagsonpal has substantial research and development, manufacturing, marketing and distribution facilities. The firm has been so successful only because there is a clear distinction between ownership and management. The management of Jagsonpal is a meritocracy, though at heart it may be a family owned business.

Setting the standards and framework at Sewara from the top is Managing Director Inderpal Singh Kochhar. Mr. Kochhar completed his A-levels from The British School,New Delhi (affiliated to Cambridge University) and college education from Sarah Lawrence (Liberal Arts) College in New York. Subsequently, he trained at ‘The Setai’ in Miami (a GHM property of world-renowned hotelier Adrian Zecha). In 2005, Mr. Kochhar took over the reins of Sewara Hospitality & Development, with the running of Lodi – The Garden Restaurant and subsequently Pushkar Resorts.

‘By turning around systems - operational and infrastructural - he not only transformed both properties into immensely profitable businesses within 2 years, but also added two more properties, Lakshman Sagar and Silver Sand in the portfolio of the company. With this incredible success to his credit, Mr. Kochhar is relentlessly working towards ensuring the success of the group’s upcoming properties.
