Acharya Balkrishna Journey

Whenever Patanjali is named, most people associate it with yoga guru Baba Ramdev. However, another powerful success story of this indigenous brand is of "Acharya Balkrishna". As the Chairman and CEO of Patanjali Ayurveda, Acharya Balkrishna gave the brand a strong scientific and economic base. Balkrishna ji, who works quietly, is called the real backbone of Patanjali.

Born on 4 August 1972 in Haridwar to a Nepali family, Acharya Balkrishna was educated at Gurukul Khanpur, Haryana. It was here that he met Baba Ramdev, which later turned into a strong partnership.

Divya Yoga Mandir Trust

In 1995, Divya Yoga Mandir Trust was established by Baba Ramdev and Acharya Karmaveer. After this, Patanjali Ayurveda was started in 2006. While Baba Ramdev became the face of the brand, Acharya Balkrishna took over the entire organizational responsibility. Interestingly, Balkrishna works 15 hours a day, but he does not take any salary from the company.
