Ramdev Products Unhygienic, Useless, Expensive – Faulty Business Plan

Swami Ramdev is basically trying NIRMA of Food and Ayurved but with a difference – his prices are Unaffordable by 90% to 99% Indians for Foods and Ayurved.

Swami Ramdev introduced to his factories in Haridwar. From outside he made claims of 150 tones per day capacity for each of his scores of his units but average seems to be under 10 tones each for there was neither mechanized processing nor packing machines.

It was most disappointing to see Unhygienic Condition of storage, processing and packing of all kinds of products. Some years ago I reported how all products made by Swami Ramdev are getting rejected by US FDA on grounds of Unhygienic Products and Misbranding. Most are of poor quality and useless.

Expensive Low Quality Products

For example - Swami Ramdev Food Products are not affordable by over 90% of Indian Population. When wholesale price of Kishmish is Rs.100 per kg Ramdev price is Rs.420 per kg, similarly California Almond price is Rs.460 and less for Indian product Ramdev charges Rs.720 per kg. Ramdev Atta cost Rs.50 per kg against Rs.22 for Rajdhani and PDS supply at Rs.5 and Rs.2 per kg wheat. Daliya is priced Rs.60 per kg.

Parle Glucose Biscuits cost just Rs.50 per kg (Rs.20 for 400gm) Ramdev Biscuits are priced Rs.100 per kg.

But it was surprising Swami Ramdev priced Chyawanprash between Rs.140 per kg to Rs.220 per kg.

But 68% of its ingredient is Sugar and 17% is AMLA, Ghee just 2.73%.

Amla Sharbat at Rs.70 per liter is costlier than most fruit juices.

Dant Manjan cost Rs.50 for 100gm, Coconut Oil Rs.50 for 200gm.

FAULTY BUSINESS PLAN

Swami Ramdev didn’t hire Consultant or employ professionals for his MEGA Ambitions, he planning to serve entire India.

But most important is Hygiene in processing of Foods and Ayurved. His products shall never get FDA approval to retail in Premium Markets.

Processing in small batches doesn’t guarantee Quality and Consistency.

Pan National operations need ‘Precise and Long Term Planning’. He is Confused – claims to serve Indian Masses but wants to sell Inferior Products at High Price or in case of Chwanprash introduce Cheap Ingredients.

Swami Ramdev is business minded never advise his followers to eat dairy products, fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables produced in abundance from Milk, Butter and Cheese, Onion, Peas, Amla, Mango, to Carrot, Radish, Cabbage that are much nutritious.

It seems prices are Ex. Haridwar. Rs.120 per kg is high hidden cost.
