Patanjali Ayurved’s managing director Acharya Balakrishna, in an affidavit to the Supreme Court on Thursday, expressed “regret” for misleading advertisements. He told the court that such advertisements would not be issued in the future while clarifying that Patanjali’s quest was to reduce the burden on the country’s healthcare infrastructure by providing solutions for lifestyle related medical complications through Ayurveda.
The company’s swift response to a show cause notice issued by the Supreme Court over the company’s misleading advertisements came two days after the court asked Yoga guru Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balakrishna to appear in person in two-weeks’ time.
Patanjali also tendered an “unconditional apology” to the Supreme Court in response to a notice asking it to show cause why contempt proceedings should not be initiated for allegedly flouting an undertaking given to the court.
