About Me

Acharya Balkrishna derives his fortune from consumer goods giant Patanjali Ayurved. Balkrishna owns the bulk of the privately held company, which he cofounded with politically well-connected yoga guru Baba Ramdev. Patanjali sells everything from herbal toothpastes and cosmetics to noodles and jams. To push online sales, Patanjali has agreements with several e-commerce giants, such as Amazon and BigBasket. Edible oils maker Ruchi Soya, which he acquired in 2019, was renamed as Patanjali Foods and he was installed as chairman.
