What more can Amul do? Focus on rural India by advertising through the media viz cable channels and newspapers. Sponsoring shows in TV, sports events can be of great help.
Aggressive marketing should be done in order to stop the growth of competitors like Cream Bell, Kwality Walls, Mother Dairy, Gokul
