“He didn’t just sell agarbattis.
He sold belief, one fragrance at a time.”

From a Bicycle Seller to a ₹1700 Crore Empire: N. Ranga Rao’s Inspiring Rise in The Entrepreneur In You Series!

Some wait for luck. Others create it. Ranga Rao did both.

▶️ In 1948, he noticed something everyone ignored, incense sticks in the market had poor fragrance and burned unevenly. With no background in perfumery, he ordered books from Germany and taught himself the art of fragrance.

▶️ But every shopkeeper refused to stock his agarbattis. So, he came up with a masterstroke, he’d light them outside shops during rush hours. The fragrance pulled in curious customers, forcing dealers to ask for supply.

▶️ What began on a bicycle soon turned into Cycle Pure Agarbathies, now selling in 75+ countries, with a ₹1700 crore turnover and over 12 billion sticks sold every year.

▶️ From studying fragrance on borrowed books to building one of India’s most trusted devotional brands, his story proves that persistence smells sweeter than success itself.

➡️ From rejection to revolution, Ranga Rao’s journey reminds us: you don’t need resources to win, just relentless belief.

What’s your biggest takeaway from his journey?
