V ivek Chand Burman is an Indian billionaire and a key member of the influential Burman family, which founded and controls the Dabur Group, one of India's largest and oldest consumer goods companies. The company was founded by his great-grandfather, Dr. S. K. Burman, in 1884 as a small producer of traditional Ayurvedic medicines. It has since grown into a massive and highly diversified conglomerate with a vast portfolio of products in healthcare, personal care, and food and beverage.
Dabur's iconic brands, which include Dabur Chyawanprash, Vatika hair oil, and Real fruit juices, are household names across India. While the company is professionally managed, the extended Burman family retains a controlling stake. Vivek has served on the company's board for many years and is now the chairman emeritus. His vast wealth is derived from his inherited stake in the iconic, family-controlled consumer goods empire.
