Ramdev established the Patanjali Ayurved Limited in 2006 along with Balkrishna, with the objective of
establishing science of Ayurveda in accordance and coordination with the latest technology and ancient
wisdom.
After Patanjali Ayurved Limited was registered in January 2006, it was prominently known for its Ayurvedic
Medicines. PAL set up multiple medical clinics across the nation, under the name of Divya Chikitsalaya that
provided free diagnosis to people
. After providing their services in the Ayurvedic Medicines niche for around 6 years, in the year 2012,
Baba Ramdev & Acharya Balkrishna extended Patanjali Ayurved Limited into Indian Mainstream Retail
Sector.
Divya Pharmacy’s medicines were already a hit among the consumers & with their entry into the retail
sector, the duo launched a number of different grocery products into the market. Starting with common
household ayurvedic products Patanjali soon launched all sorts of small & big daily use items.

nutty taste and represents the second largest consumed dairy product in India,
after liquid milk.

GHEE MARKET IN INDIA
6. PATANJALI GHEE
• Ghee is commonly used in India and
Middle Eastern countries and is one of
the classes of clarified butter.
Traditionally ghee is made from cow’s
milk which is considered sacred in the
Hindu religion. It is a major ingredient in
the Hindu kitchen and is majorly used
on chapatis in Northern India. While
ghee has a lot more uses rather than
just in the kitchen.
• Patanjali Ghee is 100% butterfat and
primarily contains butter, milk proteins
and water. It is a great alternative to
butter and tastes very well. As it is low
in fat, ghee makes you healthier and
can also reduce cholesterol in
intestines.

COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
15. GROWTH
Owing to the spike in in-home consumption amid the corona virus
outbreak, Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved clocked its highest-ever
revenues in Q1FY21.Categories like ghee, toothpaste, and atta saw a
spike in demand in the last 3-4 months.
Patanjali Ayurved is also working on improving its direct distribution
reach and is in talks with retailers to install POS machines at outlets.
With a large number of orders coming in from the online space, Patanjali
Ayurved expects about 20 percent of its revenues to come from the digital
channel in 2-3 years. To accelerate growth through this channel, Patanjali
launched a trial version of its 'Order Me' app.
Haridwar-based Patanjali group, which has acquired debt-ridden
Ruchi Soya, expects to have a turnover of Rs 35,000-Rs 40,000 crore in
the next financial year and to become the largest company in the
FMCG sector in the coming years replacing market leader HUL, said
Yoga Guru Ramdev
16. PORTER’s 5 FORCE MODEL
1. Competition in the industry is High to Moderate.
• Patanjali has stiff competition with Amul, Mother dairy, Gowardhan, Others. Amul’s market share in Ghee is
around 20pc while that of Patanjali is 10pc. Patanjali is slowly catching up with Amul in terms of market share for
Ghee. Competitors are using different methods for capturing the market. For increasing the rural consumption,
Parag Milk Foods has launched sachets priced at Rs.5 for 9 ml and Rs.10 for 18 ml. These sachets are meant for
one-time use.
2. Threats of new entrants into the industry is Moderate to Low.
• Rise and growth of Patanjali has attracted new entrants in the market. ITC is the latest entrant in the market
under the brand name ‘Aashirvaad Svasti’. The brand has adopted regional approach to grow its business. It is
currently present in Southern market. Ruchi Group, India’s largest edible oil player, has acquired ghee & milk
powder brand Anik.
3. Bargaining power of suppliers is High to Moderate.
• Supply of Cow milk is limited in comparison to Buffalo milk. Buffalo milk account for largest share of the total
milk produced in the country.
4. Bargaining power of customers is High to Moderate.
• Brand loyalty is very low for Ghee. Consumers can switch brand easily or can move to potential substitutes
easily.
5. Threat of substitute is Moderate to Low.
• Olive Oil, Canola Oil, Refined oil, mustard oil & other fancy Oils are potential substitutes for ghee. Olive oil and
Canola Oil act as competitors as they are projected as oils which are better for health can help you to shed
weight and reduce liver fat, lipids and triglycerides. It will take some time before new products can have mass
appeal.
17. KEY FINDINGS FROM SURVEY
• Mostly respondents consume Patanjali food products in comparison to other
varieties available.
• 40% of the respondents consider ghee of good quality in comparison to just 8% who
consider ghee of poor quality.
• Two third of the consumers do not consume Patanjali ghee

• Majority of the respondents are aware of different products of Patanjali.
• Approximately one-third respondents agree that Patanjali is adulterated.
• Almost half of the respondents have had a change in mindset after corona debacle
• Approximately 50% of the respondents think that a big brand like Patanjali
manipulates facts and figures
20. •Value based strategy
•Word-of-mouth
Strategy
•Paid Advertising
MARKET STRATEGY
1. Quick development of products after seeing an opportunity in the competitor’s
product
eg. After Maggi Debacle and Corona Virus Outbreak
2. The price of Patanjali ghee is higher as compared to the other substitutes by its
competitors.
3. Excessive reliance on Baba Ramdev for word-of-mouth marketing which can be
a drawback.
GAPS
21. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The user mindset is that the product is adulterated not pure however it has
passed the adulteration test it have lost the trust of user which needs to be
changed through more transparency with the quality & production details of
the products.
2. Positive and specific market practice instead of excess marketing of few
products.
3. Analysing the needs and wants of the end consumer through R&D before
directly launching the product on previous analysis basis as the market is ever
changing.
4. More outlets of Patanjali nearby the customers to provide accessibility and
availability as there was shortage of many products and excess of many others
in the store and Patanjali have started working towards resolving it by
maintaining adequate inventory and supply chain.
5. The Patanjali have its own app for grocery but is not used by most of the users
because of the bad user interface and many technical problems related to
location and payments. The Brand needs to work on improving the app for
better use specially with the increasing demand and need for online shopping.
