What is Patanjali? Patanjali is a grand commercial name in India today but it wasn’t always a strong commercially entity. It was started back in 1997. Initially, only for the provision of ayurvedic medicines, by its founders named Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna and later on it expanded and became an umbrella for lots of other products and fields for the benefit of mankind. The medicines that were produced here were reflecting purity at most because most of these medicines were manually but hygienically made and distributed for the cure of countless healthcare issues.
Now, it is the largest brand that solidifies the concept of ‘Made in India’ with numerous lines of products which are required in our daily routine. It’s annual turnover is above 1000 crores and it is still expanding and growing with new branch openings in Nepal as Nepal Gramudhyog.
In short, it is one of the region’s biggest FMCG companies (where FMCG is Fast Moving Consumer Goods company) and thus is spreading awareness of healthy products, better business and profitable distribution. These products are manufactured and packed all over India. Some are packed manually and others with the help of machines.
