It has built a system of testing collected milk before shipment and publishing the results. By showing customers what it measures, how, and what the result was, it makes "no adulteration" the center of its story.
Watering down milk, adjusting fat content, and mixing in synthetic milk have long been problems in India. Publishing test results is aimed less at the quality itself and more at removing any reason to doubt it. Milk, buffalo milk, yogurt, and ghee are its main products.
The founder is an IIT Kharagpur graduate who earned a degree in the US, worked at Intel, and then returned to India to start a dairy business. It amounts to bringing manufacturing-style quality control thinking into dairy farming.
Revenue for FY2025 (fiscal year ended March 2025) was ₹167.58 crore, up 33.6% year on year. That same year it launched a production facility in Tumkur. Cumulative funding is about 20.9 million dollars.
According to the company, it contracts with about 5,000 dairy farmers and delivers to more than 50,000 households. In an Indian dairy sector where each farmer's yield is small, running testing at near-full coverage requires substantial equipment and staff. The need to add facilities in step with revenue growth stems from this testing burden.
The fact that publishing test results itself becomes a differentiator has implications for Japanese food companies. In Japan, quality control is treated as a given and isn't talked about publicly. In India, the same thing functions as a selling point.
The testing methods and equipment held by Japanese dairy and food companies can work in India as material for a story, rather than for price. When considering technology transfer or a joint venture, framing it around "quality you can show" rather than cost reduction is more likely to land.
