The Secretary-General of ASCI said that brands should avoid misleading consumers or implying non-existent endorsements and maintain transparency, to uphold consumer trust
According to Viacom18, the official broadcaster of Paris Olympics 2024, the IOA has said that the advertiser interest is 70% more than the last edition
The development comes after Tuhin Mishra, the MD of Baseline Ventures that represents Sindhu, criticised the brands for leveraging the athlete's recent win at the Olympics
The council noted that the practice is a potential violation of the ASCI code as the ads could mislead consumers into thinking that the athletes endorse the products
