Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust launched a private security company that will look to enlist guards from its 11 lakh yoga centres across India.
Called Parakram Suraksha Private Ltd., the company will provide employment to the young and protect the country's assets, SK Tijarawala, spokesperson of Patanjali Yogpeeth, told BloombergQuint. There is a need for 50 lakh guards in India, he said.
“We will provide dedicated guards who will be efficient in physical and mental skills,” he said. Patanjali will scout for guards through its yoga centres, Tijarawala said.
Patanjali Yogpeeth's security agency aims to empower every Indian citizen to contribute to national consciousness and to provide youngsters an environment of physical and mental competence, it said in a release.
Baba Ramdev-backed Patanjali Ayurved Ltd. is already the second largest consumer goods maker in the country with a turnover of more than Rs 10,500 crore. The staples-to-soap maker has already challenged established rivals with its products.
