THE ‘INDIANNESS’ CAMPAIGN

Patanjali left no stone unturned in promoting the Paridhan brand. It allocated a budget of Rs 10 million for advertising in Financial Year 2019. “We are going to go all out. Apart from digital, print, TV and radio, we are also trying to promote our brand in movie theatres,” Singh said...

 

CHALLENGES

The aim of Paridhan was to compete with multinational companies in the field. It faced a challenge in distinguishing itself in the Indian apparel market and making its products viable since the market of ready-to-wear and lifestyle brands was crowded with international apparel makers such as Adidas AG, Nike, Inc., Puma SE, and Levi Strauss & Co., among others....

 

WAY FORWARD

Despite the challenges, industry experts predicted that with its foray into the apparel segment, Patanjali would take the competition a notch higher, as it had done in the FMCG sector. “Patanjali, today, is a name that has a place in almost every Indian household. The advent of Patanjali Paridhan should not be considered a late entry as it has just begun its journey. Basis the market research data, fashion and accessories are the second largest contributor to the overall retail industry, after food and groceries,” Singh stated..
