Power Yogi: How Baba Ramdev became India's swadeshi FMCG baron (India Today, July 2016):
The sun is about to set behind the forests on the outskirts of Haridwar. The downpour of the previous night has made it a relatively
pleasant summer evening. The silence in one of India's most guarded ashrams - CRPF personnel frisk you every time you enter the premises -
is punctuated by the sound of a fountain in the middle of the manicured lawn, and of a swing in the verandah of an M-shaped cottage. In the
saffron hues of dusk, a saffron-clad yogi is sitting on the swing. His eyes are closed, as if meditating to find the answer to the
simplest, most obvious, and somehow the trickiest question posed to him: why is a self-proclaimed renunciate selling shampoo, toothpaste,
detergent and anti-ageing cream?
Ramdev aims to churn out Rs 10,000 crore this
fiscal year; Here?s Patanjali?s business plan! (India Today, July 2016): "Yoga guru and FMCG entrepreneur, Baba Ramdev on
Tuesday said that he will make competition tough for age-old market players. He said that he will make the bird from Nestle?s logo fly away
and Colgate?s gate shutdown. He also shared his business plan and said that his company is all set to achieve Rs 10,000 crore turnover in
current fiscal year. ?In a few years, the Patanjali products will make Nestle?s bird fly away and shut the gate in Colgate,? said
Ramdev."
Patanjali to invest Rs 1,150 crore in FY17, eyes doubling
revenue (India Today, July 2016): "Yoga guru and FMCG entrepreneur, Baba Ramdev on Tuesday said that he will make competition
tough for age-old market players. He said that he will make the bird from Nestle?s logo fly away and Colgate?s gate shutdown. He also
shared his business plan and said that his company is all set to achieve Rs 10,000 crore turnover in current fiscal year. ?In a few years,
the Patanjali products will make Nestle?s bird fly away and shut the gate in Colgate,? said Ramdev."
Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurveda To Sell DRDO Food Products
(Huffington Post 2015): The Defence Research and Development Organisation has entered into a licensing agreement with Ramdev's company for
the transfer of Seabuckthorn technology-based products developed by agency's, Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR). More
than a decade ago, the DRDO had collaborated with Ladakh Foods to make Leh Berry, a popular brand of juice, that also employed
seabuckthorn.
Ramdev turns his Ayurved enterprise into an FMCG empire (Business Standard):
Patanjali Ayurved Limited (PAL), the flagship company of the Patanjali group, reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 316.60 crore
(provisional) in FY15, and increase of nearly 71% over FY14, when it posted a net profit of Rs 185.67 crore, according to the rating
rationale document on the company's bank loan facility, by credit rating agency Care. This brings Patanjali close to the ranks of FMCG
companies like Emami and Marico. Emami posted a PAT of nearly Rs 486 crore for FY15, an increase of 20.70% over the previous financial
year. Marico posted a net profit of 573.45 crore for FY15, an increase of 18.44% over the financial year 2013-14.
Patanjali may not be much of a threat to established FMCG players: Credit
Suisse report (Economic Times): Patanjali Ayurved, the rapidly growing consumer products company of yoga guru Baba Ramdev, may
not be much of a threat to established FMCG players as its growth is mostly driven by consumers shifting from unbranded segment, especially
in foods, says a Credit Suisse report.
Yoga Guru Ramdev?s Patanjali to
Foray into Dairy, Baby Care Products (India West): Yoga guru Ramdev is now aiming to test waters in dairy and baby care
products in order to expand Patanjali?s ?swadeshi? consumer products portfolio, which is expected to clock Rs. 10,000 crore turnover this
fiscal year.
He is investing Rs.150 crore in research and development in an upcoming institute near here.
?We will invest Rs. 1,000 crore to set up six processing facilities across the country. Besides, we will invest Rs. 150 crore in research
and development,? Ramdev told IANS.
Holy Cow Urine Industry Gets Boost From Modi?s Pro-Hindu
Agenda (MSN / Bloomberg): (Bloomberg) -- Carrying a large aluminum bowl, Susheela Kumari bustles around the back ends of two
dozen cows in a shelter in northern India, ready for a lifted tail or squat that could signal an impending tinkle from one of her charges.
Distilled urine from female cattle currently fetches at least as much as milk in India, and Kumari?s boss doesn?t want to waste a drop. As
it is, she and two other attendants who work around the clock in a cow shed in Bulandshahar, 80 kilometers (50 miles) east of New Delhi,
collect barely half the 15-to-20 liters of fluid the animals pass daily.
?The most difficult task is to collect cow urine because how do you know when an animal will actually do it??
Urine from India?s indigenous Bos indicus cows, which are considered sacred by Hindus, is a hot commodity. That?s thanks in large part to
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who?s introduced programs over the past two years to protect the milk-producing animals and support
industries derived from their waste.
His government has spent 5.8 billion rupees ($87 million) on cow shelters, intensified enforcement of beef-eating bans and tightened
measures to stop the illicit sale of cattle to neighboring Bangladesh.
