Adding to this, When you think of Milky Mist, what comes to mind?
Meanwhile, Probably paneer, curd, Greek yogurt and all kinds of other dairy products. Everything except fresh packets of milk that you’d typically get from giants like Amul or Nandini.
Notably, But a dairy company that doesn’t sell the very milk that goes into making these products sounds a little strange, right?
As per the latest buzz, In 1985, before Milky Mist officially kicked off, the company’s founder, Chairman and Managing Director T Sathish Kumar’s family was already in the milk trading business. Kumar, who came from an agricultural background, joined the business but soon realised that milk supply was highly unorganised.
In further updates, So he decided to try something different: making paneer, which was seeing growing demand at the time.
On top of that, More than three decades later, Milky Mist has stuck to that basic philosophy, just with a dash of diversification. It sells value-added dairy products such as cheese, paneer, butter, curd, ghee, yogurt and ice cream, along with frozen, ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook products.
And there’s a good reason for this. Fresh milk is a low-margin commodity, with margins typically around 5-8%. Value-added products, on the other hand, can offer margins upwards of 8% and even reach 40% for products like ice cream.
