There is an opinion that degree does not matter and one’s capabilities to produce results only matter.

Patanjali success can be mainly attributed to the trust factor of Baba Ramdev and his trust on his disciple Acharya Balakrishna. Most of the people started using Patanjali products because they trust Baba Ramdev.

Patanjali is a symbol of indigenous products and swadeshi at the present time and as claimed they are using swadeshi knowledge and Ayurveda to compete against FMCG giants and MNC.

Also they have been in controversies for their products and their quality. At the same time have been praised for promoting swadeshi products.
