There’s nothing that Patanjali CEO Acharya Balkrishna thinks his company can’t make. It’s not been even two months since the launch of Patanjali’s e-commerce platform in India and now, they have launched a self-proclaimed “a cure to coronavirus” — Coronil.

While there is no scientific research that claims Ayurved — the medical science of ancient India — may cure coronavirus, Patanjali claims that Coronil can cure coronavirus in three to 14 days. The massive FMCG company is also launching an app to help people in India order the coronavirus drug online — which will be delivered between one to three days.

Balkrishna claims the company has conducted a clinical case study on hundreds of positive patients and were able to stop the spread of coronavirus using Coronil with “100% favourable results.”
