The origin of JATA’S Ayurvedic Healthcare Systems LLP was originally founded in the year 2000 at Nanganallur, Chennai. Then the organisation was led by Mrs. J. V. R. Lakshmi as Managing Partner along with three other amateur Ayurveda Entrepreneurs [Dr Pandian, Dr Premvel, & Dr (Mrs.) Cholan]. Dr J L N Sastry acted as honorary advisor for this. Under this activity a medicinal plants nursery was established which provided more than 100 species. In 2002, an MoU was signed with HERBAGROW, Tiruchurapalli TN for development of medicinal plants nursery. In 2003, a medicinal plants cultivation project (covering 8 acres) was taken shape in Tamil Nadu through NABARD. The SoPs were developed for seed propagation of Hybanthus Enneaspermus and black variety of Osmium sanctum. Between 2004 and 2007 the activities were reduced to academic interactions which ultimately resulted in the closure of the unit at Chennai.

In November 2007, the activity was shifted to Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh in the form of partnership deed registered as JATA’S AYURVEDIC HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS LLP. Dr J L N Sastry was made as the Managing Partner while Mrs J V R Lakshmi acted as Contributing Partner. The focus was to establish its Service Platform in the name and brand as – “AYUSHMAN AYURVEDIC CENTERS” with Dr J L N Sastry as the Chief Physician. The first centre was established on 24^th August 2007 at Kakinada followed by a Pancha karma Centre at Ramalingeswara Nursing Home, Kakinada on 22^nd August 2008. Dr Shahazad Ali acted as consultant for a brief period and taken over by Dr Vamsi B later. On 2^nd October 2008 another centre was established at Narasapuram town of West Godavari District of A.P. Dr G Kedar Sharma acted as the consultant physician for this centre. This was followed by three franchise centres viz., Ayushman Ayurvedic Centre, T. Nagar, Chennai (2009); Ayushman Ayurvedic Centre, Jaipur (2010); Pragati-Ayushman Ayurvedic Centre, Mehadipatnam, Hyderabad (2011). Dr Pandian, Dr Pradeep Sharma; and Dr Sridhar K were the physicians respectively for those units.

Several research projects also have been taken up between 2007 and 2012 which includes consultation support to renowned pharmacies like PARAS, Pragati Biopharma, IMIS etc. A cluster in the name of AYUSHMAN Cluster was established in 2011 covering 32 pharmacies. About Ten Ayurveda products were developed and three patents were filed during this period.

Jata’s Ayurvedic Healthcare Systems acted as the consultant for PARAS, Ahmedabad for two years (2009-11) where about 10 Ayurveda products were developed through pre-clinical and clinical evaluation (following OECD guidelines and Y-schedule guidelines respectively). All the products were standardized through a tie up with Sowparnika, Chennai. The pre-clinical evaluation was done by Dr. S. Venkatraman, C L Baid Metha Res. Foundation, Chennai. The clinical studies were conducted at various prestigious institutes / centres at Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, and Chandigarh. An IEC was established following ICMR guidelines and a statistician was included in the team for meta-analysis of the data. ICH GCP guidelines were completely adhered to while conducting the clinical studies.

In 2011, an MoU was signed with Pragati Bio-Pharma and three patent applications were filed. A small extraction unit was established at Mehadipatnam, Hyderabad under this agreement. Cultivation of medicinal plants has been taken up in a big way covering 200 species. The upgradation of Panchakarma Centre at Pragati Resorts and Ayurvedic Centre at Mehadipatnam are successful projects. In 2011, Pragati entered into an agreement with AAPNA, USA. A collaborative program with I-SERVE, Hyderabad is taken up in organizing training programs at Ambedkar Open University, Hyderabad.

During this time (2012-22), Mrs. J V R Lakshmi handed over the responsibility of commercial development of the leads on already identified products to organizations with better R&D facilities (e.g. 10 leads to Dabur). However, there was no activity between 31^st March 2013 to 31^st March 2022, and it is decided to dissolve Jata’s Ayurvedic Healthcare Systems as a partnership firm.

Lakshmi in medicinal plants nurseries, cultivation, and formulations, it is decided to establish a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) which will digitize and commercialize the leads available. To cherish the dream, an association is sought from Genrays, Kakinada. Accordinlgy its proprietor Mr P Madhava Prabhas had joined the business as one of the partners in JATA’s Ayurvedic Healthcare Systems LLP which is founded on 25^th August 2022 at Kakinada.

Sastry (former CEO for National Medicinal Plants Board [NMPB], Min of AYUSH, Govt. of India; and Former Executive Director / Head – R&D of Dabur India Ltd.) in the advisory role.

A partnership deed is executed to this effect on the Twenty Fifth day of August month, Two Thousand Twenty-Two at Kakinada Taluk, East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh State.
