Amul will be sponsoring the Indian contingent at the London Olympics this year, and is targeting the youngster segment with its new launch for boosting sales. According to R S Sodhi, Managing Director, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd (Amul India), Amul Pro, with the additive Docosohexaenoic Acid (DHA) to strengthen brain power, is also targeting children in the age-group of 2-15 years.
