Transasia Bio-Medicals was founded in 1979 by Mr. Suresh Vazirani who recognized the need for dedicated healthcare solutions for developing nations after witnessing the short comings of the healthcare systems in his home country India.

He quickly identified the need for quality, affordable diagnosis in low income groups that could not afford expensive treatments for cure. In developing nations with exponentially growing populations and limited means to tackle challenges on multiple fronts, resources dedicated to prevent and hinder disease result in a greater impact rather than those focusing on the more costly, risky and lengthy treatments for cure.

After partnering with multiple diagnostics companies from around the world to service this need, he found that their products were unable to make a significant impact in these inadequately developed environments. Their products were not suited to a highly fragmented, price-sensitive market with poor infrastructure and expertise. 

Committed to find a solution, in 1995 he started Erba Mannheim, Germany with the vision to make world class European technology accessible to emerging markets. He combined it with efficient, low cost manufacturing and unparalleled market expertise to create the first fully integrated In-vitro Diagnostics company dedicated to fulfilling the needs of the emerging market customers.
