Late Mrs.Urmila Grover's dream has turned into reality today. Grovemark Methods Pvt Ltd. is fast becoming the spearhead solution to all the skin troubles in India and it's all with her blessings.
It started in the late 80s in Bombay when (late) Urmila Grover, impoverished and widowed with her three kids, blended home-made cosmetics using natural ingredients. With her enterprising daughters Mrs Rupa Khambata, Late Miss Rekha Grover and son Dr Raj Grover, she sold these products to local beauty parlours. However, realizing the potential of booming European clientele in the Goan coastline, the Grover's moved back to Old Goa in 1992.
Setting up a fledgling business in a fiercely competitive market was daunting but Mrs Grover was determined to succeed. When the chips were down, she continued to fight and encouraged her kids to not lose heart. She believed that, to create quality products the person himself should be of quality. Ethical and compassion towards humans is also a concern.
She was the perfect quality control inspector, a sample of every batch of products made were first tested on her and then sent into the market. “Never compromise on the quality of the product” was her motto, which has today become the Grovemark's benchmark.
Having faith in her and struggling in adversity were fruition, when they set up their first industrial unit at Old Goa in 1992. Further due to the growing demand of the products, the operations were shifted to Verna Industrial Estate, Goa in 1996.
She breathed her last breath on January 7th 1999. All the working of the company is now handled by Dr Raj Grover the Chairman of Grovemark Methods Pvt. Ltd having a degree in D.B.I.M (Bombay) and Cosmetology from Germany. With the current position of the company since its inception in the marketing 1992, Dr Grover has proved that he is an able man to do the job.
He attributes his success as a cosmetologist and a businessman to his late mother and founder. Her motto 'Never compromise on quality of the product' has been his guiding philosophy.
