Our Founder : A Blend of Corporate Acumen and Dairy Heritage
Mrs. Archana Jadhav
Our Founder, Mrs. Archana Jadhav, is the driving force behind our
commitment to excellence. Armed with a strong academic foundation—a
B.Sc. (Chemistry) from Kolhapur University and an MBA from Pune University—she brought a scientific discipline to the traditional dairy sector. Before dedicating herself fully to the family business in 2018, Mrs. Archana honed her strategic and operational skills in a demanding role with a multinational oil and gas company. Her entry marked a dramatic turning point: through her expertise and sheer effort, the family’s annual dairy production skyrocketed from 10,000 litres to an impressive 100,000 litres.
Our Co-founder: The Visionary of Systems and Legacy
Mr. Jeevan Jadhav
Co-Founder Mr. Jeevan Jadhav brings the invaluable legacy of a family
steeped in the dairy business, merged with a modern technical edge. An
alumnus of M.Sc. Computer Science from Fergusson College, Mr. Jeevan Jadhav spent nearly nine years navigating the high-stakes world of enterprise software, rising from a software engineer at HCL to a team lead at HSBC Software, Pune. Yet, the deep-seated passion for his family’s milk business proved irresistible. Leaving a high-profile corporate career behind, he chose to leverage his systems expertise to elevate the traditional business to new heights.
Core Business Values
Unwavering Quality and Integrity
We are committed to the highest standards of quality. There is absolutely no compromise on the purity, taste, or specified parameters of our products, especially our Ghee.
Ethical Conduct and Fair Dealing
We uphold absolute integrity and transparency in all business dealings. We choose to partner only with honest individuals and adhere strictly to ethical practices, rejecting any form of deceit or malpractice.
Customer-Centric Commitment
Customer satisfaction is the ultimate measure of our success. We prioritize our customers' needs and feedback, striving consistently to exceed their expectations in every interaction.
Nurturing Entrepreneurial Partnerships
We treat our white-label partners as integral extensions of our brand. We are dedicated to the careful, ethical, and sustained growth of their businesses, ensuring a mutually beneficial and trustworthy relationship.
The Turning Point: Resilience and Renewal
The year 2018 marked a period of both exponential growth and unforeseen adversity. Despite rapidly scaling their dairy operations, an unexpected and extreme market circumstance caused them to face a crippling loss of nearly ₹1 Crore in a matter of weeks.
But true entrepreneurs are defined not by their falls, but by their ability to rise. This challenging moment didn’t break their resolve; it ignited a powerful new vision. Mrs. Archana and Mr. Jeevan leveraged their combined expertise and confidently pivoted the business from perishable milk to non-perishable, high-value dairy products: premium Ghee and Butter. They rebuilt their enterprise with renewed focus and unwavering determination.
Our Growth: From ₹10,000 to a ₹15 Crore Powerhouse
- Uncompromising Product Quality: Crafting the best quality, authentic products.
- Strategic Network Building: Establishing a robust distribution network, catering to both our self-branded and major white-label clients.
- Digital Mastery: Our journey from a modest ₹10,000 monthly online revenue (via platforms like Jio Mart) to a massive ₹1 Crore per month showcases our dedication to meeting customers where they are.
We maintain a strong physical presence at our dedicated shop on Bajirao Road, Pune, while continuously expanding our digital footprint.
