“We are working in several verticals which have a market size of over Rs 10 lakh crore and Patanjali has a market share of 10-20 per cent (in that)… in the next three to five years, Patanjali would be over Rs 1 lakh crore brand and there should be no surprise in it,” Ramdev was quoted by PTI as saying.

Besides, the company is also having 50 small units, which are manufacturing small goods as papad, pickles, mustard oil, salt, jam etc, he added.
