Our Story

Auriga Research's roots trace back to 1985, when Mr. Vijay Kr Arora founded Arbro Pharmaceuticals in New Delhi with a vision to provide reliable pharmaceutical quality testing for India's growing drug manufacturing sector. What began as a single-site pharmaceutical QC laboratory grew steadily through the 1990s and 2000s as India's regulatory environment matured and the demand for accredited, traceable testing grew across industries.

Under the leadership of Dr. Saurabh Arora from 2005, the organization underwent systematic transformation — investing in advanced instrumentation, expanding into new testing verticals, securing international accreditations, and opening facilities strategically positioned near India's major pharmaceutical manufacturing hubs. The rebranding to Auriga Research in 2020 formalized what the organization had already become: not a pharmaceutical QC lab, but India's most comprehensive testing research organization.
