Freedom taps Rahul Dravid for 'Dil Ki Baat' campaign, pitching rice bran oil as an easy heart-health switch

For strategy teams
A celebrity-backed, health-claim-led campaign suggests Freedom is investing to move from commodity oil to a premium functional-oil brand, which is worth tracking as a category-positioning signal, though nothing here points to a transaction and the health claims are unverified brand assertions.
