Nandini's Sponsorship of Ireland and Scotland Cricket Teams Sparks Debate

  • In a move to strengthen its international presence, 'Nandini', the dairy brand of the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), announced its decision to sponsor the cricket teams of Scotland and Ireland for the 2024 T20 World Cup. According to KMF's Managing Director, M. K. Jagadish, the teams will prominently display the 'Nandini' brand during the matches.
