About Us

Som Herbal Specialities is a research-driven manufacturer of high-quality herbal and Ayurvedic formulations, committed to delivering safe, effective, and scientifically grounded plant-based products. Rooted in India’s rich medicinal plant heritage and guided by modern quality systems, we bridge traditional wisdom with contemporary pharmaceutical thinking. 

The company was founded by Dr. S. K. Upadhyay, a distinguished botanist and phytochemistry expert with over five decades of experience in chemotaxonomy and medicinal plant research. After retiring from active academic service, Dr. Upadhyay established Som Herbal Specialities with a singular vision: to create authentic herbal formulations backed by deep botanical knowledge, rigorous raw-material selection, and
ethical manufacturing practices.

Dr. S. K. Upadhyay

Dr. Upadhyay has served as a Scientific Advisor to the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, and has guided numerous PhD scholars in the field of plant-based chemical ingredients. His lifelong engagement with medicinal plants forms the scientific foundation of every formulation developed at Som Herbal Specialities.
