Why Patanjali is Dying: What Went Wrong? | Rise and Fall of Baba Ramdev | 2D Animation In February 2024, Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna were ordered by India's Supreme Court to print a public apology on the front pages of the country's biggest newspapers. How did a ₹10,000 crore "swadeshi" empire - built entirely on trust - end up in the dock? This is the complete rise and fall of Patanjali Ayurved: a business case study of how a yoga guru built one of India's fastest-growing FMCG companies, and what went wrong. WHAT WE COVER • The making of the guru - Ram Kishan Yadav becomes Swami Ramdev, founds the Divya Yoga Mandir Trust (1995) with Acharya Balkrishna, and turns morning TV-yoga into a national phenomenon. • 2006 - Patanjali Ayurved is born; the "swadeshi" playbook, and Balkrishna's ~94% ownership while Ramdev becomes the face. • The peak - ₹10,561 crore turnover (FY17) and "The Patanjali Effect" that rattled HUL, Colgate, Dabur, Nestlé, ITC and Britannia. • The first cracks - the 2018 stall, revenue sliding to ₹8,339 crore, quality-test failures, army-canteen & Nepal rejections, and the ₹4,350 crore Ruchi Soya buyout (Patanjali Foods). • Coronil - the 2020 COVID "cure" claim, the AYUSH Ministry's curb, the Madras High Court fine, and the WHO-certificate controversy. • The reckoning - the "stupid science" attack on allopathy, the IMA's ₹1,000 crore notice, the Supreme Court contempt case, the public apologies, and 14 suspended product licences in Uttarakhand.
