According to reports, the yoga guru will also announce his company's vision and plans for the next five years.

The business conglomerate's revenue increased to ₹10,664.46 crore in the financial year 2022 as compared to ₹9,810.74 crore in the previous fiscal. The net profit was marginally lower to ₹740.38 crore against ₹745.03 crore in FY22, Livemint reported.

The invitation for press conference sent by Patanjali said that among the agendas is to ‘expose conspiracies and efforts of rumour mongers spreading false facts and figures with vested motive to disparage Patanjali and its Swadeshi movement in the direction of stronger and healthier India'.
