Dhara Launches the ‘Milled in India” Campaign
Dhara, India’s leading edible oil brand has started an integrated campaign titled ‘Milled in India’ to encourage consumers to use traditional indigenous filtered oils. Through this campaign, Dhara aims to take the consumers back to their legacy as these traditional oils suit the Indian taste palate, style of cooking and cuisines. Many consumers are opting for newer oil variants because of global exposure and evolving preferences. Therefore, the tagline Zara Sa Badlaav Banaye Life Behtar has been chosen to encourage consumers to once again adopt the traditional oils.
Indigenous oils, typically filtered mustard oil, groundnut oil and gingelly oil, have been used in India for generations, and are considered the ideal cooking medium in India. These indigenous oils are best suited for the Indian taste palate. It is also an established fact that with food comes regional preferences, and so does the type of oil. Mustard oil is mostly preferred in the northern and eastern regions, whereas groundnut oil is the preferred oil in the west. ‘Milled in India’ is an integrated campaign initiative of Dhara running across print, OOH, radio, POS, and digital media of communication.
