A True Patriot
Dr. Y. C. Bhatt had a burning love for the country and intensely believed in self-reliance. He had great belief in the capacity of his countrymen to do things themselves instead of depending upon imported equipment and foreign expertise. He put into practice his belief in self-reliance by the manner in which he built up Welex Laboratories initially in a single room in Tardeo, subsequently moving to Tarapore with indigenously made equipment including designing and planning, manufacturing process, quality control and packaging systems. He impressed friends, acquaintances and competitors by the great efficiency he brought to the management of Welex Laboratories. He had not acquired any professional training in management, but he had an inborn knowledge of the fundamental principles of management. He put this in good use in building a solid foundation of growth and quality production.

Note from Our Managing Director
The sudden and tragic demise of my father on 4th October 97 left me a completely devastated man. No sooner did I take over the helm of affairs of Welex Laboratories as the Managing Director of Welex Laboratories Private Limited, then I started feeling the void in my life. For ten years he had groomed me to succeed him, and I had been the young man in a hurry, eager to take over and impatient. Now, suddenly, I had the job but what I did not have was my father there to back me up. I had heard so many stories about sons of prominent men failing in business, and I could imagine their devastation at finding themselves unable to fill their father’s shoes. I worried I would end up the same way, but luckily for me things were going to be different.
Our attachment to the Ayurvedic medical system is total; our commitment to its values, complete.
I went another year and then another. The Ayurveda age has begun and Welex is trying to capitalise on it. I like to think that my father would have been impressed with the growth in the scale of the business. He had always maintained that Welex would someday be amongst the best Ayurvedic medicine manufacturing companies in the world.
I was intimately entwined with my father. I had a compelling desire, maybe out of honour for the gentleman, to prove to the world that I could excel the same way that he did. I can never declare myself a winner in that contest because many of my decisions are based on policies and practices learned at his knee. But I think I am at least successful enough that people could say that I am a worthy son of a worthy father.
I drew inspiration from my father, who was committed to provide the best remedies to his patients and mankind in general through his expertise in the science of ‘Ayurveda’. My father, the founder, passed on the legacy and mission to me, and I in turn, intend to pass the baton on to the next generation.
