Patanjali aims to diversify revenue sources despite advertising constraints with high-margin FMCG products.
Deep dives
Impact of Advertising Ban on Patanjali
The Supreme Court's temporary ban on misleading ads targeting allopathic medicine affected Patanjali Foods' share price, leading to confusion among investors. While Patanjali Ayurved faced the court's criticism, it wasn't the company behind the controversial ads. Initially disrupting the FMCG market with an Ayurveda-focused strategy, Patanjali's reliance on Baba Ramdev's personal brand and nationalist sentiment played a crucial role in its rapid growth.
Restructuring and Growth Strategy of Patanjali Group
As challenges like GST implementation and quality control surfaced, Patanjali expanded by acquiring Ruchi Soya to boost revenues and market presence. The rebranding of Ruchi Soya to Patanjali Foods aimed to strengthen the food division while separating it from the wellness-focused image of Patanjali Ayurved. Focusing on high-margin FMCG products and edible oils, Patanjali aims to diversify its revenue sources and accelerate growth despite advertising constraints.
In today’s episode for 2nd March 2024, we trace the journey of the Patanjali Group and tell you why the Supreme Court has imposed a temporary advertising ban on one of its entities.
