Founder of Panter Entrepreneurship Group

Dr. Mehrdad Aalipour Herisi, the founder of the Panter Entrepreneurship Group, was born on September 22, 1970, in Tehran. A review of his life from childhood, school years & university education to present day, based on images of his living environment & existing quotes, shows that he has had a great interest in the Iranian leopard & the agile, brave, & clever Genomography of this indigenous species from beginning. This very interest has provided foundation for his continuous & tireless efforts to preserve name & brand & of Iranian leopard under the name & trademark “Panter” with the slogan “Agile, Brave, & Clever.” Some of fruitful achievements of Dr. Mehrdad Aalipour Herisi are as follows.

  • Founder of the knowledge-based and nanotechnology-centered Panter Entrepreneurship Group and the creator of the scientific model “Brandpreneurship.”
  • Holder of a specialized doctoral degree (D) in Entrepreneurship from the University of Tehran with an excellent ranking in the field of “New Business Ventures.”
  • Member of the National Elites Foundation of the Presidential Office and honored with the title of “Entrepreneurial Elite” under certificate number 25957/15.
  • Official National Entrepreneur & Official Provincial Entrepreneur of Tehran under certificate number 002/40/208629, awarded by Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor, & Social Welfare.
  • Festival judge, editor, and reviewer of scientific journals and articles, including the reputable JOBR journal affiliated with Elsevier Institute.

Dr. Mehrdad Aalipour Herisi, the founder of the Panter Entrepreneurship Group, has a practical scientific knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship and management, as well as tacit knowledge in entrepreneurial businesses and branding. He has been recognized as the “National Top Entrepreneur” and the “Provincial Top Entrepreneur of Tehran” in the industry sector by the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor, and Social Welfare. By combining knowledge and experience and relying on innovation, he has taken valuable steps towards developing the entrepreneurship ecosystem in the country, particularly in knowledge-based, innovative, and nanotechnology industries. Dr. Mehrdad Aalipour Herisi completed his doctoral studies in veterinary medicine in 1999 and became a member of the Tehran Veterinary Organization, specializing in internal diseases and surgical sciences. Through his work, he became familiar with some therapeutic and surgical antibacterial equipment and tools. Later, by studying articles published by the World Health Organization on the development of infectious diseases and risk reduction methods, he prioritized the production of antibacterial materials for use in human life. As a result of his activities, he has not only registered numerous inventions and innovations but also produced health-oriented and antibacterial products such as antibacterial stationery, including pens, erasers, markers, pencils (wooden and polymer), crayons, artistic colors, various office and student notebooks, toys, games, modeling clays, hard and soft covers for notebooks and folders, as well as covers made of polymer materials and similar products. He also developed antibacterial raw materials based on gold, silver, zinc, copper, chitosan, antibacterial metal oxides in liquid, powder, and polymer masterbatch forms, with organic, mineral, and plant origins, both at the nano and non-nano scales. As a result, some of his knowledge-based and nanotechnology products, including various antibacterial masterbatches, have obtained production and operation licenses. Today, they are used not only in the stationery industry for producing various games and toys but also in kitchen utensils, sanitary products, ceramic and tile industries, and various other applications. Thanks to the remarkable efforts of this Iranian scientist, the Panter Entrepreneurship Group is recognized as the first mass producer of health-oriented stationery at the national and international levels. The antibacterial writing instrument is capable of affecting pathogenic microorganisms by inhibiting their growth or eliminating them, particularly having a maximum impact on Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria like Escherichia coli. This leads to a significant reduction in disease-causing factors and their transmission among individuals in the community, especially children and other at-risk and vulnerable groups. Consequently, it results in a remarkable decrease in the incidence of diseases and the consumption of many drugs, particularly various types of antibiotics. These innovations seem to provide a basis for addressing serious challenges raised by reputable scientific and research institutions, including the World Health Organization. Dr. Mehrdad Aalipour Herisi is also known as the creator of the “Brandpreneurship” scientific and managerial model. By utilizing this model and collaborating with a team of experts, he strives to create an appropriate platform for the national and international elevation and influence of the Panter brand. This is achieved through the “Panter Structural Sun,” a new organizational structure introduced in the “Hard 3 S” or “Triple Business Hardship” phase.
