Dr. Kurien ushered in ‘White Revolution’ in India with ‘Operation Flood’, the largest project for dairy development in the world. As a direct result, India became self sufficient and global leader in milk production and dairy farmers the architects in their own development.

This revolution led to an increase in milk production many fold which led to the co-operatives declaring milk holidays around Pune. This adversity was circumvented by Mr. Devendra Shah (our Founder & Chairman) by helping farmers by collecting their milk on such milk holidays. And thus was born Parag Milk Foods Ltd.

Parag Milk Foods Ltd, founded in 1992, is one of India's elite private sector dairy company, with a diverse portfolio in over 15 consumer centric product categories.

Chairman

Our Vision

We strive to optimize the potential of milk across a host of exciting dairy products to fill each day with imaginative and healthy options for our consumers. We believe that milk in all its wonderful forms is one of nature’s most nutritious foods and anyone who consumes milk products daily, benefits from vital nutrients that the body needs. Fulfilling dietary nutritional requirements is a source of great joy and creativity for us.

A bigger company also has larger responsibilities. While India is the largest producer of milk in the world, and the commodity has become an important source of income for 70m rural households, the output per animal is dismal. A key area of focus for us is to help farmers and milk producers to boost animal productivity. The enhanced participation and involvement of the private sector is key to further agricultural marketing practices and to make milk and its derivatives more accessible and affordable to India. In this regard, we deploy state- of- the- art technology to enhance productivity.
