Akshayakalpa milks growth from new protein-rich dairy
Mint Chennai
|November 05, 2025
The firm is set to partner more dairy farmers, add processing units at three existing clusters
Founder Shashi Kumar said 2,200 dairy farmers help Akshayakalpa operate units in Tiptur, Chengalpattu and Rangareddy, processing 175,000 litres of milk daily.
New age dairy Akshayakalpa Organic will partner more dairy farmers and add processing units at its three existing clusters as part of its strategy to expand into western parts of the country and sharpen focus on protein-rich milk products, a top company executive said.
The dairy company, backed by venture capital firm A91 Partners, has three main production and assembling clusters—one each in Karnataka's Tiptur, Tamil Nadu's Chengalpattu district, and Telangana's Rangareddy region—that manufacture the bulk of its products. The company has partnerships with 2,200 dairy farmers and processes 175,000 litres of milk every day.
The company will also increase capacity utilisation of the existing units. "Our facilities are running only at 50% capacity as of now, we are working on taking this up to 70% by next year," Shashi Kumar, Akshayakalpa's founder and CEO said in an interview.
