the pitch for other consumer goods companies (each category not too big to impact
except Ghee, which is expected to be INR12bn in FY16), over the long term, gaining
palpable distribution prowess could pose a serious threat to competition. Patanjalis

ratherthanprofitability.ItsbusinessideologyisinspiredbySwamiRamdevsideologiesto
toucheverylifethroughPatanjaliwhichwillhelptheconsumersandbepresentinallthe
segments where the consumers feel they can get a better product at a better price. The
organisationconductsitsbusinessonthefollowing3mainprinciples:
(1) Providing worldclass products to consumers (making sure the company does not add
anypreservativesorusesnaturalpreservativesasfaraspossible).
(2) Producing products in the most costeffective manner so that the products are priced
veryreasonably.
(3) Whatever profits the company earns are ploughed back into business so that it can
invest the same for launch of new products, cost effectiveness or further capacity
expansion.

Patanjali will not launch any products that are harmful to the health of consumers and
detrimental to the health and lifestyle of the people. Hence, the company will not get into
product categories like tobacco and liquor which are bad for health. Going forward, the
companyalsoplanstoopen500600branchesofAcharyakulam(educationalinstitutions).

products are priced at ~1530% discount to competition, which makes it an attractive
proposition for consumers. It is able to offer such discounts primarily because of having
negligible A&P spend versus other consumer companies which have A&P spends ranging
from 1218%, as a % of sales. Another reason for the discounts is the consumercentric

For the consumers, Baba Ramdev remains the face of Patanjali and its products. Baba
Ramdev, during his yoga sessions, showcases the Patanjali products. After the session, he
makes the attendees aware of the benefits of using Patanjali products. Till date, close to
70mn people have come in contact with Baba Ramdev through his yoga camps and it is
believed that this can increase to 200mn going ahead. This highlights the potential reach
that the Patanjali brands can have without much mainstream advertising. Also, being
associatedwithBabaRamdevhelpsincreatingabetterperceptionamongconsumersthat

easily available everywhere and they are unable to buy them. To address this concern, the
companyhaschalkedoutanaggressiveplantoimproveitspresenceontheonlineplatform.
Currently, it is already selling its products through its website,
www.patanjaliayurved.net, from where consumers can order the products and get
free delivery of the same if the order value exceeds INR499. Other companies like
bigbasket.com, etc., that also sell Patanjali products online have been barred from doing
so. The company is also implementing ERP for better mapping of inventory (SAP has
already been implemented). Patanjali will also be launching its mobile app, which will
allow consumers to locate nearby outlets that are selling Patanjali products and also
facilitateonlineorderingofproducts.

Patanjali also sells its products through the Patanjali Chikitsalayas (where free medical
consultancyisgivenbymedicalpractioners),PatanjaliArogyaKendras(healthandwellness
centre)andSwadeshiKendras(regularoutlet).Asforreach,thecompanyhascloseto0.2mn
