The person behind Patanjali success

Aditya Pittie, the man who owns a slice of Patanjali’s success



MUMBAI: When Baba Ramdev met Aditya Pittie four years ago, the glaring contrast in their appearance was striking. One, a bearded baba in a saffron robe with rustic mannerism and the other, a suave 30-year-old entrepreneur from King's College London. But together, they have now helped create a business empire selling two dozen mainstream FMCG products — from toothpastes, shampoos and other personal care products to modern convenience foods such as cornflakes and instant noodles. 

While Patanjali Ayurved had a meteoric rise to a Rs 10,500 crore company now from barely Rs1000 crore in 2013, its sole modern trade distributor, the Pittie Group, saw its revenues surge to nearly Rs 1,200 crore from scratch. 

"My father had known Swamiji and Acharyaji (Patanjali CEO Acharya Balkrishna) for almost eight to nine years. When I proposed a structure to build a supply-chain network with a singlewindow service to Patanjali for the entire organised channel, Swamiji merely took three to four minutes to agree," said Pittie, CEO of the Pittie Group that started in 1991, and has business interests in real estate, spiritual channel Shubh Tv and also owns a majority stake in frozen yogurt chain Yogurtbay. His father, Krishnakumar Pittie, has been a follower of Baba Ramdev.

Why Was Africa Called the Dark Continent?

Why Was Africa Called the Dark Continent? Email The most common answer to the question, “Why was Africa called the Dark Continent?” is that Europe did not know much about Africa until the 19 th century, but that answer is misleading. Europeans had known quite a lot, but they began ignoring earlier sources of information. More importantly, the  campaign against slavery  and missionary work in Africa actually intensified Europeans’ racial ideas about African people in the 1800s.   They called Africa the Dark Continent, because of the mysteries and the savagery they expected to find in the “Interior ."

OPINION | Dear Congress, Either Join The Tea Party, Or Lose T-Shirt In Gujarat The BJP understands, as the Congress does not, that tea symbolizes all the fuzzy warmth of Indian culture. It is a great leveller — from the richest to the poorest, everyone drinks tea. Mahatma Gandhi famously took his tea with a pinch of salt. It was 1931, the Salt Satyagraha was a year old and his tea-serving host was the British Viceroy, Lord Irwin. Had the Indian National Congress recalled that little soupcon of history, it would not have put out a meme of a British Prime Minister ordering another Gujarati (PM Narendra Modi) to ‘go sell tea’. The Mahatma was no great votary of tea, but was a master of symbolism. Gently rubbing salt into the Imperial wound, he twinkled, “To remind us of the famous Boston Tea Party”. An exquisite reference to the genesis of American Independence, with the implicit promise of freedom for India. If only today’s Congress understood the power of symbols a tenth as well.
