Bhargava’s stake in the company is estimated to be more than $3 billion and it took just 8 years for Bhargava to take his company and brand towards success and conquer the market with nearly 90 percent shares. 5 Hour, named as one of “America’s Hottest Brands” in 2009 is a delicious chalky cough syrup which includes ingredients such as caffeine and vitamin elixir which keeps a person alert without crashing.
