Patanjali's sales plunged 10% to Rs 8,100 crore in FY18, and in the last fiscal year, it likely deteriorated further, say analysts

In what could be an IPO on the cards, Patanjali founder Baba Ramdev said that he would be able to share some \"good news\" on plans to get listed in the stock market in a month's time.

Patanjali's consumer goods business, which is the backbone of Patanjali's overall empire, saw a decline of over 10 per cent in revenue at Rs 8,148 crore in FY18 as compared to FY17.

Patanjali Paridhan has a range of products from jeans and ethnic wear to accessories on offer.

Taking a dig at multinational companies, Ramdev says global firms have done nothing for India but Patanjali wants to spend revenue earned through the company on charity work.

'Paridhan' would add to a series of products launched by Patanjali, which focuses on 'swadeshi' and all-natural theme of products that strike with the Indian traditions and ethos.

To meet its ambitious targets and expand its areas of interest, Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved Ltd is in talks with several investment banks to raise structured credit worth Rs 1,000 crore.

After announcing the launch of its packaged drinking water 'Divya Jal', Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved Ltd is expected to enter $70 billion dairy sector in India.

When Instagram started in 2010, its purpose was to design a platform for people who want to share image-worthy moments with their friends and followers. But in less than a decade, the young and the wealthy of the world seem to have taken over.

There's no stopping Baba Ramdev. After the huge success of his FMCG company Patanjali, the yoga guru is now set to launch 'swadeshi' line of clothes for men, women and children.

Dabur is another FMCG major that has faced a strong fight in ayurvedic products from Patanjali. Dabur CEO Sunil Duggal recently spoke to Business Today and conceded that they may have missed a trick or two while dealing with Patanjali.

Solve the problems of people to succeed in business, asserted Acharya Balkrishna at BT MindRush.

Balkrishna said people today look up to Patanjali when it comes to swadeshi and nationalism. When asked why they manufacture noodles and jeans if it's so much about swadeshi, he said that their effort is to change these products to suit Indian sensibilities.

Patanjali is also in the process of setting up multiple units in Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Maharashtra and Jammu and Kashmir.

The rise of Patanjali Ayurved as a serious contender in the Indian fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector has shaken the well-rooted FMCG majors.

The Rs 5,000-crore turnover company has several products under its belt which its founders claim are free from chemicals and nature-friendly. Its products have found widespread acceptance in the country, with Patanjali stores opening in almost every market in big Indian cities.

Ramdev's brainchild Patanjali is India's largest Ayurvedic organisation. It has created a wave of nationalism among the yoga guru followers Indians with the call for 'Swadeshi' at the centre.

Ramdev's latest idea is driven by the simple belief that the preponderance of milch cows will mean fewer animals that could end up in the slaughter house.
