17. BRANDING
STRATEGY

18. Patanjali says: “Pick our product - it is the
same product with no harmful chemicals. Plus
by buying our products, you are ensuring the
money you spend stays in India”. And
that additional value proposition is true for all
their products and that is the reason they have
branded every product as a “Patanjali
product”. , Patanjali can simply offer a “no
chemicals & swadeshi alternative” to the
people who have got used to this new product

19. Loyal Community
While one might be tempted to believe that
Patanjali has grown exponentially within
such a short span of time, the fact is that it
is a result of around 20 years of relentless
work around Yoga and Ayurveda by
Ramdev. In those 20 years Ramdev has
built a extremely loyal community of
followers.

20. Smart pricing
Yet another reason for Patanjali's success is the thrift it
practices. "Our profit margins are miniscule because the
main aim is not to make profit," said Ramdev. "Profiting
from patients is against the philosophy of Ayurveda, so we
aim at minimum profit from our health products. Our
input costs are low because we source directly from
farmers, avoiding middlemen." Salaries are also modest.
"Humare yahaan crore ki salary paane waala koi vyakti
nahee hai.

21. Company Analysis

22. STRENGTHS
• 100% natural products .
• Brand image of the trust
• Considered socially responsible for
health of the society
• Established distribution network in
urban areas

23. WEAKNESS
• Low export levels
• Strong competitors and availability of
substitute products
• Less expenditure on marketing and
promotional activities
• Less distribution network in rural areas

24. THREATS
• Political Interference
• Removal of import restrictions
• Controversies

25. OPPURTUNITIES
• Changing lifestyle and rising income
levels
• Change in trend of becoming more health
conscious and using more organic
products
• Large domestic market
• Rural market to be tapped

26. Patanjali’s Key To
Success

27. 1. Increasing number of health-conscious
people: In recent times, people have become
more health conscious which is evident from
the fact that many companies are investing
money in organic and Ayurvedic products.
2. Less price: Patanjali products are available at
an attractive discount as compared to
their competition. The company sources
products directly from farmers and cuts on
middlemen to boost profits

28. 3. Word-of-mouth promotion: Advertising and
promotions typically account for 12-20% of
revenue expenditure by consumer goods
companies. When a new company gets into the
business, this spending is significantly higher.
During the introduction stage, Patanjali followed
a unique word-of-mouth publicity modeland the
entire revenue was without any advertising. It
was because of the brand loyalty of its
customers that the word-of-mouth promotion
proved so successful for the company.

29. Conclusion
Swadeshi factor Patanjali is happy to co-exist
with indigenous companies, multinational ones
are a different matter. "Humara ek simple funda
hai: MNCs ko replace karna (We have a simple
principle: we want to replace MNCs)," said
Ramdev.
"We don't want to put anyone down, but we
would like to instil swadeshi pride so that Indian
money does not go out of the country.
