Dr.Muhammed Majeed obtained his doctorate in Industrial Pharmacy from St.John's University in New York . He went on to gain 15 years of valuable experience in  pharmaceutical research. Inspired by the ancient Indian system of botanical medicine, popularly called Ayurveda, he ventured out on his own in the field of Herbal extracts and Fine Chemicals. The initial setbacks he encountered while establishing Sabinsa did not deter him from turning Sabinsa as a forerunner in herbal extracts and neutraceuticals as a serious alternative to regular medicine.

Born and brought up in Kerala, Dr. Majeed graduated in pharmacy from Kerala University in 1974. He immigrated to the US in 1975 where he worked with leading pharmaceutical research companies, simultaneously pursuing higher studies also. In 1988, Dr. Majeed set up SABINSA Corporation in New Jersey, a research oriented pharmaceutical & nutraceutical company, which has emerged as a $30 million company , marketing nutraceuticals in the US market.

In 1991, Dr. Majeed , incorporated Sami Labs Ltd at Bangalore , an export oriented company focusing on research in neutraceuticals. Today Sami Labs is a Rs 68 Crore export house. It is with Dr. Majeed 's vision that Sami has pioneered the use of clinical research to develop standardized botanical extracts and nutraceuticals which has won the company a series of awards from home and abroad.
