The companies are also considering production partnership and even jointly develop brands in the long-term. "In total we would have Rs 30-40 crore business (from Patanjali products) in a month from our stores and later on it would increase up to Rs 80 crore," Future Group CEO Kishore Biyani said. He said from Future Group's stores, the business of established FMCG player such as HUL is around Rs 1,300 crore to Rs 1,400 crore. "I believe that Patanajali products could easily achieve that," Biyani added.
