Following the partnership, Rahul KP stated, “As a professional athlete, I’m conscious about what I eat. Dr. Oetker Peanut Butter is not only packed with protein, but it also tastes amazing. It’s a staple in my daily routine, whether it’s before a match or after a tough training session. I’m proud to partner with a brand that supports healthy eating habits and active lifestyles across the country.”
