| SHRI SAMPRADA SINGH was born into a family of agriculturists in Bihar. During his high school days, India's struggle for independence had intensified and he was instinctively drawn into this historic cataclysm. Mr. Singh drew his inspiration from his uncle, a freedom fighter, and went onto eschew foreign textiles and choose Khadi, a symbol of patriotism even at the tender age of 13. Mr. Singh also took an active plunge in the 1942 QUIT INDIA Movement. His intense patriotism made him decide at that stage to contribute significantly to his beloved motherland. |

| Mr. Singh entered Gaya College, Patna University in 1946 to specialize in Commerce. During his four years as an undergraduate, Mr. Singh exhibited his dynamism through various student activities. |

| It was understood that after his B.Com. Degree from Patna University in 1950, Mr. Singh would join his family activities in the agricultural sector and introduce advanced and modern farming techniques. However, successive draughts in the State of Bihar from 1951 onwards, compelled him to look elsewhere to nourish his entrepreneurial zeal. In 1953, Mr. Singh made a small beginning as a Retail Chemist. In 1960, he started a business of Pharmaceutical distribution in Patna under the banner of 'Magadh Pharma'. Due to his sincerity, hard work and affable nature, Mr. Singh was able to acquire the distributorship of several renowned multinationals and soon, successfully built up a sound distribution network in the eastern region of India. Realizing the limitations of expanding in the distribution business, in the year 1972, Mr. Singh became the founder Director of a Bombay based Pharmaceutical company. |

Singh, a post graduate in Political Science, joined him in this new venture as a Director. |
