While growing up, there wasn’t even a single day when we didn’t hear our mom scolding us for not drinking milk and praising the nutritional importance of milk or other dairy products. Now, we’re in the middle of a lockdown, one of the problems we have been constantly facing is getting the supplies we need, right from medicines to kitchen staples. And milk is one such commodity that each of us needs, every day.

Plus, milk has been reported numerous times for containing chemicals and we’ve seen many videos on social media platforms where you’ll see people making chemical-milk! That’s where Akshayakalpa comes to your rescue to make your life easier with their farm-to-home delivery service.

Much has been said about organic fresh produce and household staples, but what still deters from switching would be the notion that it’s too expensive. However, Akshayakalpa’s venture promises you natural, fresh milk and dairy products that are completely free of adulteration.

Story Behind Their Dream Startup

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams,” said Eleanor Roosevelt and we agree. It is essential to dream big, aim bigger but staying true to its roots are the things to be always remembered. With the intent of facilitating farmer entrepreneurship, Dr. G. N. S. Reddy, who was a vice president of Pune-based Bharathiya Agro Industries Foundation (BAIF), started this venture with Shashi Kumar who was working in Wipro for 20 years along with eight other techies who decided to quit their corporate jobs and work together. Inspired by Dr. Manibhai Desai, founder of BAIF, Dr Reddy formed this company to provide financial incentives to farmers by helping them set-up profitable dairy farms.

Having come a long way since then, the Tiptur-based brand now has a full-fledged team and plenty of goodies that you can get delivered at your home.

How Are They Different From Other Brands?

Ensuring that their goods are antibiotic-free, they mainly focus on sustainable practices and organic methods from step one, they’ve pastures which are organically-maintained without the use of synthetic fertilizers. Also, their happy and healthy cows are fed with naturally-grown green grass for a balanced diet using no hormonal injections and chemicals. This literally means the milk and the products you get are rich in nutritional values. From milking the cows to chilling the milk, Akshayakalpa ensures zero human touch to minimize the risk of diseases. Besides this, these guys put a lot of emphasis on cow’s health to make sure you’re getting farm-fresh milk. So, you can enjoy your chai and start your morning on a great note.

Growth Of Business And Future Plans

Working with farmers in and around Tiptur district and transforming their farming operations from livelihood focused on creating money, these folks have come a long way and stay clear of unethical practices. The result of which is that their milk manufacturing capacity accelerates from 2.5 litres per cow per day to 10 litres per cow/day. In the future, Dr Reddy claims that he wants to take their path towards ‘bridging the urban-rural divide’ and he is also eyeing to double their production capacity and scale more farms.

But that’s not all. Helping you completely shift to the organic lifestyle, they also have organic curd, ghee, butter, pizza cheese and cheddar cheese in variant flavours. Once you’ve gone through the list on the website, you can directly subscribe to them without any hustle or get in touch on their contact number and let them know what you’re looking for.
