What more can Amul do?

To improve further Amul can try out the following ideas: I) Amul can venture out on new products like Toned milk, Condensed milk that can be used for sweets, Baby food products, II) There are certain product like Amul basundi, gulab jamoon, choclates etc which are not as popular as Amul ice cream. Amul must try to understand the cause of this through thorough market research and work on improving these products III) Though Amuls hoardings are a huge success, it can penetrate even better in the rural areas by advertising through the media viz cable channels and newspapers. Sponsoring shows in TV, sports events can be of great help.
