Amway India signs Farhan Akhtar as brand ambassador for Nutrilite

Guwahati, Dec 29: Amway India has signed Farhan Akhtar as the brand ambassador to promote the Nutrilite range of the products. Speaking on the occasion, Anshu Budhraja, CEO, Amway India, said, “Studies in India indicate that nine out of 10 Indians consume less than adequate protein daily. The fact is that majority of people are not consuming the World Health Organization’s minimum recommendation of five servings (400 grams) per day of fruits and vegetables thus missing out on important nutritiol benefits. This indeed is a matter of concern. We needed a strong and credible face who could help people understand the role of supplementation in addition to balanced diet and exercise as part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Farhan Akhtar was an obvious choice.”  “In India, Nutrilite has firmly established itself as the leading brand in the vitamins and dietary supplements category. The brand contributes more than 50% of Amway India’s turnover. We are confident that Farhan’s association will provide a further fillip to the Nutrilite brand in the country.
