By embracing structured business management and mentorship, Dato’ Ilaia Raja Sagadewan and Datin Sumitra Ramachandran turned setbacks into stepping stones, growing their pharmacy business beyond expectations. During the pandemic, while many businesses struggled, Farmasi Everlife experienced remarkable growth, proving that the right strategy and perseverance make all the difference.

“At just 24, I ventured into the business world with minimal knowledge. I had the determination, but navigating the complexities of running a pharmacy was overwhelming. There were moments of financial distress, even thoughts of giving up, but perseverance and the right guidance changed everything.”

Like many businesses, we faced a major challenge when a risky investment led to significant financial losses. It was a wake-up call where I realised I needed a clear business strategy. Seeking expert advice became a turning point, helping us restructure our financial management, leadership, and marketing efforts. Small yet impactful changes, like improving customer engagement and operational efficiency, led to remarkable results.

When the pandemic hit, many businesses struggled to survive. But instead of retreating, we focused on adapting and implementing proven business strategies. As a result, Farmasi Everlife grew by an incredible 130% in just three months—a testament to resilience, the right strategy, and continuous learning.

Today, Farmasi Everlife is more than just a pharmacy; it’s a trusted healthcare brand built on perseverance, strategic growth, and a commitment to excellence. The business no longer depends solely on me—we’ve developed a capable team, efficient systems, and a long-term growth strategy.
