I swear as soon as you reach out for a quote 90% of the time:
1. First price is some “complete sucker” price they figure is worth taking a shot asking for ($50 per vial sir) and
2. They will relentlessly message and call as if their lives depend on making the sale.
WhatsApp after sending inquiry:
Me: “Ok thanks for the price, will get back to you”
Them: Ok sir. When will you get back to me?
Me: After I’ve shopped around some more, but I’ll contact you before buying.
Them: Very good sir. How long will that be? When will I hear from you?
Me: (doesn’t respond)
(Series of texts progressively lowering price, $40, $15, $3.50, +offering free shipping)
(Cell phone starts ringing from an Indian number, every hour for the next 8)
(Unlisted home number starts ringing from same number)
WhatsApp messages start to get emotional:
“Sir, what have I done to you?” (Crying emoji)

We’re talking about drugs primarily sold to the locals. I can actually shed a little light on this part of the culture. There’s “English medicine”, as in the type introduced during the English colonial period, and Ayurvedic, the indigenous herbal medicines, like Liv52, which mostly have packaging in the local language.
Almost everything associated with western medicine is done in English, and almost everything connected to Ayurvedic is done in Indian.

I thought about it too long... and this is what google ai returned about it
The prompt was: "why do indian pharmaceutical companies label their products in english"
Indian pharma companies label in English primarily for legal compliance (mandated by Indian drug rules), logistical ease across diverse India, cost-effectiveness, and leveraging English as a common business/lingua franca, though adding regional languages is growing for better patient safety, trust, and accessibility in India's multilingual market.
Key Reasons for English Labeling:
- Regulatory Mandate: India's Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945, require core drug information (strength, dosage, expiry) to be in English, with regional languages often added.
- Pan-India Distribution: Since medicines are made in one state and sold across India, English serves as a unifying language for nationwide distribution, avoiding complex regional packaging.
- Cost & Space Efficiency: Printing multiple languages on small labels (vials, blister packs) is costly and impractical; English minimizes this burden.
- Historical & Global Standard: English became a common language post-independence and remains crucial for global trade, making it a practical choice for a major pharma exporter like India.
- Healthcare Professional Communication: English facilitates communication between doctors, pharmacists, and regulators across different linguistic regions.
