ABOUT DANO

A Legacy of Protection

Science that reaches every corner. Vaccines that protect every life. Our journey began in 1984 and we have been building trust one dose at a time.

OUR ROOTS

Four Decades of Trust

Our journey began in 1984 when Founder & Managing Director Mr. D. Suryanarayana Raju established Dano with a mission to protect people from life-threatening infections. In 1985 we introduced DANO-TT®.

Since then, we have delivered over 2 billion doses of the Tetanus Toxoid vaccine, making us one of India's largest and most trusted manufacturers in this category.

Our Reach: Headquartered in Hyderabad, India — the vaccine capital of the world — our impact extends far beyond national borders. Dano is a key supplier to India's immunisation programmes and continues to expand our footprint across international markets. Whether it's a government hospital in a major city or a remote primary care clinic, our products are trusted to perform in the moments that matter.

Building for Tomorrow: With a strong foundation built on four decades of experience, Dano is investing in the next generation of vaccines and biologics. We are expanding our manufacturing infrastructure, strengthening our R&D capabilities, and actively developing new products to address global public health priorities.
