According to Ankit there is a great diversity in religions being Hinduism the largest, followed by Sikhism, Islam, Christianity and Jainism. Despite he does not identify himself with any particular religion, he confesses to be amazed by the existent respect between religions in the USA.

...humans worshipped spiritual things such as animals, plants, or stones, Animism and Shamanism also became popular and well known among groups of people as those religions developed and accustomed their shapes in accordance with the society and various social aspects of the time. As the society changes, many religions, coming up with their unique aims of important religious values, sometimes similar and sometimes different from each other’s, have emerged. Many of them disappeared, some of them are kept within small groups of people, and very few of them became the mainstream religions. One of the mainstream religions is Hinduism. First emerged in South Asia, the idea of Hinduism is based on Veda, the oldest religion and literature of ancient India in existence. Hinduism does not deny the existence of many gods; thus is classified as polytheism. One might ask from where these sacred believes or religion first emerged. Mircea Eliade theorized that hierophany, a manifestation of the sacred, is the basis of the religion. In his book The Sacred & The Profane, Eliade analyzed this massive idea of religion with four categories—sacred space, sacred time, sacred nature, and sacred self—under the assumption that every religion possesses these four frameworks in common. Hinduism, the third biggest religion in the world following Christianity and Islam, also follows Eliade’s framework. According to Eliade, for religious men, the nonhomogeneous characteristic of the spatial aspect is shown...

...RED BULL India Assessing market leader challenges RED BULL India Assessing market leader challenges 1. Background In 1984 Red Bull GmBH was co-founded by Dietrich Mateschitz, an Austrian entrepreneur and former marketing director for Blendax, a toothpaste company. After visiting Thailand in 1982 Mateschitz discovered that a drink called Krating Daeng helped cure his jet lag. After some research, he contacted the owner ChaleoYoovidhya, a self-made Thai billionaire who introduced Krating Daeng to the world in 1976 to strike a business deal to sell the drink in Europe. Krating Daeng, which means “Red Bull” in English, was inspired by the tonic drink Lipovitan of Japan, with prime ingredient as Taurine, and was popular among Thai truck drivers and labourers. After agreeing to the terms, Red Bull GmbH was founded by each partner investing $500,000 of savings and taking a stake in the new company. Chaleo and Dietrich each held a 49% share of the new company and gave the remaining 2% to Chaleo's son Chalerm, but it was agreed that Mateschitz would run the company. The product was initially launched in 1987 in Austria as a carbonated version. Today, Red Bull is the most popular energy drink in the world in terms of market share selling over 5.2 Billion cans worldwide in 2012. 2. Red Bull in India The Red Bull brand came to India in 2003 and has been a pioneer in the energy drinks segment in the country. Traditionally, energy drinks have not been very popular in India...

...Red Bull is an Austria-based company started in 1987 by Dietrich Mateschitz that sells one product: an energy drink containing taurine (an amino acid) that’s sold in a slim, silver-colored 8.3-ounce can. The drink has been an enormous hit with the company’s target youth segment around the globe. For the year 2001, Red Bull boasted sales of $51 million in the United States alone and captured 70% of the energy-drink market worldwide. From Stanford University in California to the beaches of Australia and Thailand, Red Bull has managed to maintain its hip, cool image, with virtually no mass-market advertising. However, today, due to certain health issues and the growth in competitors in the market, several doubts and issues have come across for Red Bull such as Whether Red Bull is able to maintain its lead and its point of differences or the brand may simply lost its edge and become “slate”, Whether the concern of health and bloggers might have a huge negative impact on Red Bull, Whether Red Bull’s target audience move on as it ages is an issue due to its limited product line, and so on. The matter of maintain a company lead in the market is always present as same as for its point of differences in products. In the case of Red Bull, according to recent records of energy drinks product companies in 2015, Red Bull owned 60% to 70% market shares which means globally Red Bull is one of top brands, establishing over 167 countries with approximately 5 million cans selling per year in...
