Before he built a sourcing business, Abdul Naseer Thokkan understood the responsibility of being a pharmacist.
He began his career in the UAE and spent more than a decade in pharmacy. It was a profession built on trust: people asking for guidance, making choices for themselves and their families, and relying on the person behind the counter to take their concerns seriously.
Alongside that human responsibility, he recognised a practical problem. Pharmacies needed a wide range of products, but sourcing them meant dealing with multiple suppliers. For shoppers, finding the products they wanted could mean moving between different pharmacies or stores.
He saw an opportunity to bring those needs together. One partner for a broader range. Global sourcing with proper verification and authenticity checks. A business that would help pharmacies buy more conveniently and help retail customers choose with greater confidence.
Scientifique began as a free zone company on 25 May 2022. In 2025, it started operating on the UAE mainland. What began with an understanding of everyday pharmacy challenges grew into a supply network serving 500+ pharmacies, with a portfolio of 10,000+ SKUs.
That purpose also shapes The Scientifique Store: bringing globally sourced beauty, personal care and wellness products directly to buyers, with pharmacist-backed selection and a focus on authenticity. It is about making genuine products easier to find in a market where choice can feel overwhelming.
The next chapter is Athletique Store, an upcoming destination where fitness coaches and shoppers can purchase across supplement categories and brands in one place. The idea follows the same principle that started Scientifique: understand what people need, then make it easier to access.
A wider world of products.
The same personal responsibility.
