The Man Who Chose India Over Everything Else

The story of Hicks began with a man who believed that healthcare should not be a privilege, but a right.

In the heart of Aligarh, V.P. Gupta — a successful entrepreneur and renowned philanthropist who once owned one of the largest oil mills and the famous Pearl & Beads business — made a life-changing decision. He shut down everything he had built, to fund a new dream:

To make trusted, affordable healthcare accessible to every Indian family.

That’s how Hicks was born — not just as a company, but as a mission of care, trust, and Indian innovation.
Decades later, Hicks continues to carry his vision forward — empowering millions of homes and doctors with products that stand for accuracy, quality, and heart.
