Here is a typical Bollywood movie plot, a typical Indian village which is ruled by few wealthy jamindar’s they torture villagers, humiliate them and take their money, a poor chap “angry young man” tries to stop this. But Jamindars are so powerful that they don’t let this poor chap work, and create conditions because of which the whole village turns against him and he is thrown out of the village.

Poor Boy’s “Andhi behan” and “Vidhva maa” are left alone in the village in dark, and they think the boy is dead.

after few year’s the boy returns, takes his revenge and villagers are happy.

well, that’s how brands humiliated Patanjali back in 2011 and now Patanjali is threatening the existence of big wigs like HUL,Dabur, with a new strategy and positioning Patanjali is back in the game.

Brand Patanjali generated around 15000 conversations on Twitter in the period between August 2015-January 2016, according to data compiled by social media analytics firm Blueocean Market Intelligence.

Discussions touched upon Patanjali emerging as a strong player in the FMCG market; particularly its soaring sales graph gathered a lot of attention.Many consumers were seen commenting on how their products, particularly noodles and honey were not only cheaper but also better than those of other competitors.
