Acharya Balkrishna is the managing director and primary stakeholder of Patanjali Ayurved, an Indian FMCG company.[4] He is a close aide of yoga guru, Baba Ramdev,[3] with whom he founded the company.

Balkrishna is also a practitioner of Ayurveda and is often referred to as Acharya Balkrishna. Balkrishna along with Baba Ramdev established an Acharyakulam in Haridwar. He has undertaken a project of developing the Ayurvedic system of medicine.[5][6]

Early Life and Education

Balkrishna was born to Sumitra Devi and Jay Vallabh on July 25, 1972 in Haridwar.He Joined Kalwa Gurukul, Haryana in 1988. His parents are natives of Nepal, but his father was working in Haridwar when Balkrishna was born. Here he met the person widely known today as the Yoga Guru Swami Ramdev. They soon developed a bond that shaped their destiny. After his Gurukul education, Balkrishna travelled across India to study plants and their medicinal value, a key element of Ayurveda.[7] [8]

In the year 1993 he and Ramdev were living in the Himalayan caves of the Hindu pilgrim town of Gangotri, a popular haunt among holy men and ascetic near the source of India’s holiest river, the Ganges. Because of his knowledge of herbs Balkrishna started getting frequent requests from visitors for medicines for common ailments. This planted the seed for establishment of charitable organizations of ayurvedic medicines and treatment.[9]

The duo founded an Ayurvedic Medicine manufacturing unit named Divya Pharmacy in Haridwar in 1995. Later Balkrishna helped Ramdev to set up a number of other businesses to serve the nation.

Patanjali Ayurved

Patanjali Ayurved, an FMCG company, was founded by Baba Ramdev and Balkrishna in 2006. Followers of Ramdev, NRIs Sunita and Sarwan Poddar, helped kick-start the business with a loan. According to Balkrishna, he had taken out a ₹50–60 thousand loan at a time when he had never held a personal bank account in his name.[10] In 2012, the company posted a turnover of ₹450 crore (US$54 million) which by 2015–2016 had risen to ₹5,000 crore (US$600 million).[3]

While Ramdev does not hold a stake in the company, he is the face of the firm and endorses its products to his followers across his yoga camps and television programmes.[3] Balkrishna owns a 94% stake in the company and has amassed a personal fortune worth ₹25,600 crore (US$3.1 billion).[3] His birthday is celebrated as Jadi Buti Divas ("Herb Day") in the Patanjali group of companies on August 4.[11]
