Dr. Samsen Papli	ORIGIN OF THE NAME 'FRANCH' Many years ago Dr. Samsen Papli was involved in the flourishing courier business in India. Most International courier companies such as DHL, UPS and others could not set-up their own operations in India due to governmental restrictions. Dr. Samsen had set-up a company in Madras India, to facilitate the movement of documents in and out of India by working with international courier companies. The company was called; Franchise Courier Services Pte Ltd; to reflect the representation as franchise holder for these companies. Dr. Samsen had pursued his interest in Ayurvedic Health Care and obtained his doctorate from a renowned university in Sri Lanka. He spent many hours researching and one specific area interested him a lot i.e. the miraculous powers within the castor plant. After years of research he had succeeded in formulating a perfect multi-purpose oil which could be used for a variety of ailment. His discovery was tested by many. His final work was sent to the University of Madras, Bio-chemistry department for evaluation and after much clinical trials came up with flying colors. Dr. Samsen decided to commercialize his invention after patenting it. After securing some partners and funding through his courier company, he decided to venture into his own production by setting up a new GMP factory known as Motherland laboratories Pte Ltd. During a company brain storming session to find a suitable name for his invention, many names were thrown in and shot down. Someone from the floor simply said why don't we just name it Franchise OIL following the courier company name which was already well recognized in India. Everyone liked it but the only problem was that it was too long. After much deliberation, it was decided that the name be shortened from Franchise OIL to just Franch OIL .
