Baba Ramdev has the nack of being involved in controversies. Whatever Ramdev does or says becomes a topic of news for Indian media companies. The main reason for Ramdev’s popularity is the success that Patanjali Ayurved has achieved in a short span of time. Patanjali is right now the most selling FMCG brand in India beating many big competitors including P&G, Unilever. Along with providing quality products, Ramdev makes sure that he knows what other brands are doing in the market.

Colgate’s new versions of toothpaste have both salt and charcoal. But, in 1985, we can clearly see that they themselves released an advertisement which reads ‘using salt or coal can be harmful to your teeth’. Baba Ramdev has very smartly revealed the truth about how multinational companies play with the minds of their customers.
It looks like Colgate Palmolive India is feeling the heat of the ‘Ayurved’ revolution that has started in Indian FMCG market after the entrance of Patanjali.
