Amul is the example for many countries. Amul is the reason of White revolution and India has been flooded with milk. Amul has created history showed leadership quality because leaders don't follow they lead and others follow. However, Amul marketing strategy is better as compared to advertising strategy. Advertising strategy of Amul is loose and because of that they are losing the connections with the consumers but, yet they time to improve their advertising strategy to dominate the market.
