Meet Kunal Gupta, the visionary CEO of Nutramed Packaging, a leading pharmaceutical contract packager based in New Jersey. Under his leadership, this small, family-owned business has blossomed into a dynamic enterprise renowned for its innovation and commitment to quality.
Kunal’s journey began in 1999 when his father, a seasoned pharmacist, founded Nutramed to strengthen community ties. Starting from a modest 8,000 square foot facility, the company has grown significantly to meet the increasing demands of the pharmaceutical industry. Kunal shares the inspiring story of their evolution, marked by both challenges and achievements that highlight the unique dynamics of a family business.
From his early days helping his father with the hands-on work of painting walls to earning an MBA from Wharton and briefly exploring finance, Kunal embodies the values of passion and resilience. He emphasizes the importance of staying true to one’s roots while navigating the complexities of the pharmaceutical landscape.

Chris Santomassimo: Welcome back to the ThinkFactory podcast powered by OGC Solutions and I’m your host Chris Santomassimo. Once in a while we get to go on the road and go on site to some interesting companies and today is no exception. I’m actually here in Whippany, New Jersey, not far from our office at OGC Solutions with the president of Nutramed Packaging, Kunal Gupta. Welcome to the podcast.
Kunal Gupta: Thank you, great to be here.
Chris Santomassimo: Thanks so much for spending some time with us. You know, as I said when we first got together, I really, I don’t know, maybe I’m just sort of a corporate geek or something, but I really get a get a charge out of, you know, driving into these, you know, light industrial parks like where you folks are in Whippany and seeing the beehive of activity, especially with Nutramed.
Kunal Gupta: So it is, you have to love manufacturing, which is something I’ve grown up in in this business. I still get a thrill from getting on the shop floor, seeing the forklifts moving and pallet jacks moving around. I get that.
Chris Santomassimo: Yeah, I just love seeing, especially in our backyard here in New Jersey, because we’re only a couple of miles up the road, and just seeing the amazing things that are happening in these, you know, in businesses like yours right in our backyard. So I’d love to introduce, you know, Nutramed Packaging and talk a little bit about how you went from a small family-owned business to the large business, really, you are today. So take it away.
Kunal Gupta: So Nutramed is a pharmaceutical contract packager. What that means is our customers supply us products, pills, tablets, capsules, soft gels, and we do their packaging for them. So we put into bottles, blister cards, cartons, any kind of finished assembly that you would buy at your local Walmart or Walgreens store.
