Patanjali Considering bidding for IPL Title Sponsorship

New Delhi, Aug 10, 2020: Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved is considering to bid for the title sponsorship of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), according to a company official.

The move would help the Haridwar-based firm access a global marketing platform, as Patanjali is focusing on exports for its Ayurveda-based FMCG products. Confirming the development, Patanjali spokesperson S K Tijarawala said, "We are considering this for Vocal For Local and making one Indian brand as global, this is the right platform. We are considering into that perspective," he said. However, Tijarawala also added that the company is yet to take a final call on the issue. "We hav...

While on the other side, South Korean brand Samsung, which is a major competitor, stands to gain if Indian consumers switch their choice on nationalistic grounds. There have been protests by the Indian people in various parts of the country after the face-off at Galwan valley in eastern Ladakh in which Indian Army personnel was killed by the PLA of China on June 15.

Xiaomi Usurps Samsung To Become Top Smartphone Seller in India

Samsung Electronics has lost its crown as the top smartphone seller in India for the first time in six years, as it was outsold by China’s Xiaomi in the final quarter of 2017, data from two tech research firms shows.
