Govind Milk and Milk Products

What Govind Milk and Milk Products does

Govind Milk and Milk Products Private Limited is a privately held Indian dairy company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Phaltan, Maharashtra. The company processes fresh and value-added dairy products — including farm milk in multiple variants (cow, buffalo, toned, double-toned, standardized), flavoured milk, AGMARK Special Grade cow ghee, butter, paneer, dahi, fresh cream, lassi, shrikhand, amrakhand, basundi, dairy whitener, skimmed milk powder, milkshakes, and a range of instant dessert mixes and summer beverages. Its installed milk processing capacity is 10 lakh+ litres per day, with current throughput at 6 lakh litres per day; the company also produces 30 tons of milk fat converted to butter and ghee and 30,000 kg of milk powder on a given day. Quality is governed by 25+ tests per batch and backed by ISO 9001:2008, FSSC 22000, AGMARK Special Grade, and HACCP certifications.

The business is vertically integrated around a 22,000+ farmer supply network, supported by 100 on-panel veterinary doctors, 1.5 lakh cattle under veterinary service, 500+ proprietary loose housing barn systems, sprout-feeding programs claimed to improve milk yield and quality by ~20%, and yearly veterinary contracts with farmers. Manufacturing is distributed across three plants in Phaltan (Maharashtra), Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra), and Belagavi (Karnataka), with corporate offices in Pune and Navi Mumbai. The go-to-market combines a branded franchise retail network (Govind Shoppe / The Happy Makers), an owned D2C e-commerce storefront at govindmilk.com, general retail/grocery distribution, and B2B bulk supply to food service and institutional buyers; shipping is restricted to India.

Revenue is generated primarily through unit pricing on physical dairy products (₹25 for a 200ml flavoured milk to ₹900 for a 1-litre fresh cream), supplemented by franchise license economics, B2B supply, and selling within the domestic Indian market. The company files annual returns and reports (FY 2018-19 through FY 2024-25 available via its investor relations page) and is led by Chairman Sanjivraje Nimbalkar, Managing Director Rajiv Mitra, CFO Anand Dhoot, and COO Dharminder Bhalla. A 2016 media-for-equity deal with Brand Capital is the only disclosed external capital event.
