Sathish Kumar grew up in Erode, Tamil Nadu, where his father ran a milk business. But when his father's business was on the brink of collapse, SATHISHKUMAR T dropped out of school and took his very first step on a remarkable journey to becoming the owner of Milky Mist, one of India's largest manufacturers of dairy products. It wasn't always smooth sailing; selling milk had to be sustainable, and the profit margins were thin due to fierce competition. Sathish decided to introduce paneer as one of the products to sell. But the problem was nobody in his family knew how to make paneer. Although he didn't know how to make paneer, through trial and error, he perfected the process. His product didn't have a brand name. After extensive research, he finalized the name Milky Mist Dairy – a name that was easy to pronounce and remember so the product could find its place in the market. As the company entered the retail markets, Sathish started with a modest investment of Rs. 5 lakhs, followed by a bank loan of Rs. 10 lakhs to set up a semi-automatic paneer plant in 1998. From there, Milky Mist's #journey gained momentum. By the late 1990s, Milky Mist paneer was appearing on the shelves of stores in Chennai, Bangalore, and Coimbatore. However, setbacks came when Milky Mist ventured back into the liquid milk #business, hoping to capture a larger market share, but the company faced a shortage of milk for its paneer production. This mistake made Sathish realize he needed to refocus on value-added products. The company then started to add more milk-based products such as ghee, curd, and cheese. With more products in hand, he needed better infrastructure to ensure they reached consumers in the best condition possible. Sathish introduced Milky Mist-branded visi coolers in stores, and now there are over 15,000 in stores to keep products fresh and maintain quality, especially in South India's warm climate. Challenges were always there, but Sathish knew how to tackle them. To maintain a consistent supply of quality milk, Sathish built solid and direct relationships with over 55,000 farmers across multiple districts, ensured they were paid a fair price and established over 1,200 milk collection centres in villages. As it strives for impeccable quality standards, Milky Mist introduced a fully automated and robotic manufacturing plant in Perundurai, near Erode. This investment made them into a full-fledged dairy powerhouse capable of competing with the biggest brands in the country. By 2022, revenues surpassed 1000 CR, and today, Milky Mist Dairy manages 20+ categories work with 65,000 farmers and 2650 collection centres and achieves 2000 CR in revenue. T. Sathish Kumar has indeed milked his way to success.           If T. Sathish Kumar's story of turning adversity into opportunity resonates with you, share your story of resilience and #success in the comments. #entrepreneurship #successstory #milkyMist #dairyindustry #resilience #businessgrowth

We are proud to announce a big milestone in the progress of Iron Kettle, a company incubated by Menterra Ventures. This month will see some really fine teas from Iron Kettle being listed for the first time in the Guwahati Tea Auctions. This milestone represents a significant leap forward for this fledgling company as it competes against well-established teas from large estate factories in the Guwahati auctions. As an investor, Menterra has been instrumental in nurturing Iron Kettle’s vision of producing high-quality, sustainable tea produced from exceptional fine leaf exclusively grown by small tea growers in the Udalguri District of #Assam. When Iron Kettle started operations in this district the average price realisation by small tea growers was between Rs.18-20 per kg. It is heartening to see this season green leaf prices to small tea growers touching Rs.55 per kg for exceptional fine leaf. We are proud of having worked with the small tea growers in helping them produce exceptional fine leaf in their small estates, and produce higher yields. All in the span of two seasons. The small tea grower at Udalguri is becoming a special tea grower. The continuing effort on implementing the Tea Science program and cutting-edge technologies at Iron Kettle will help farmers who focus on quality to continue to earn much better incomes and help to put Assam teas back on the high table of exceptional teas. This milestone is a validation of Menterra's investment philosophy that combines financial viability with social impact. We are excited to continue this journey, setting new standards in the tea industry and demonstrating how strategic investments can create social change. #impactinvesting #sustainablefarming #tea #assam #menterra

Size Zero Cafe | Restro has established itself as a booming business in recent years, and has expanded to many sites around the state of Gujarat, where it was first founded. The co-founder of the cafe chain Size Zero, Ruchit Goswami, along with his two partners started with a panipuri store, which eventually transformed into a cafeteria. The three partners of Size Zero Cafe Restro started with an investment of only ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 in 2015. With an expertise in serving moderate priced food, which is also full of nutrition to have a quick snack. As the business took speed, Ruchit Goswami and his partners learnt a few ways to make the business reach heights of success. The three business partners, after giving thought to how to start and what to venture with, ultimately decided that they would launch their venture with pani puri, which is probably the most famous street food in India. They knew the potential and saw that Paanipuri was desired in all locations, however there was no designated brand on the market at the time that served the entire nation with a mind blowing taste, while keeping an eye for the sanitation and hygiene levels of food. Today the same brand has a valuation of somewhere between ₹80-90 crores!! Started with 3 people, today more than 100 employees work at Size Zero The company has locations all throughout Gujarat, including Jamnagar, Dwaraka, Junagadh, Gandhidham, Surendranagar, Porbandar,Morbi,Valsad, Navsari, and Gandhinagar, in addition to their five stores in Rajkot.

𝐔𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 – 𝐏𝐚𝐳𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐫 𝐍𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐦 📌In the 1950s, after their father's passing, two brothers aged 9 and 11, hailing from a small village near Coimbatore, faced the stark reality of halting their education to support their family. 📌Their journey commenced by working at a local fruit stand, where they sold mangoes and apples using a pushcart while also preparing fruit juice on-site. N Chinnasamy and N Natarajan, driven by a shared entrepreneurial dream, eventually ventured into marketing fruits in Ooty, pooling their earnings to sustain their family. 📌Their resolve to establish their own business led them to save a few paise daily, despite their modest wages. Five years later, both brothers secured jobs at a spinning mill, strategically working different shifts to lay the groundwork for their future enterprise. 📌Meanwhile, they seized an opportunity to launch a fruit stand in Coimbatore in 1965, investing a nominal sum of Rs 300 and pioneering the concept of selling goods by weight at their store, 'Pazhamudir Nilayam.' 📌Despite initial skepticism about the affordability of fruit stores, their focus on providing high-quality produce at reasonable prices gradually earned public trust. Their innovative practices, such as offering pure fruit juice without dilution and expanding into vegetable sales in 1983, propelled the success of Pazhamudir Nilayam. 📌By 1983, the brothers had expanded to four stores in Coimbatore, implementing a collaborative approach where family members equally shared profits. 📌The family divided the business, with the eldest brother ensuring his younger siblings received the stores with the highest sales. The store with the highest sales volume was managed by the youngest sibling. The second-highest sales volume store was given to their third brother, and the chain continued to expand thereafter. 📌In 1998, Natarajan inaugurated his second location in Tiruppur under the name “Kovai Pazhamudir Nilayam.” His brothers remain actively involved in the business, which now operates nine Pazhamudir Nilayam outlets across Tamil Nadu. 📌Subsequently, they strategically broadened their business footprint, opening multiple outlets in Chennai, Trichy, Thanjavur, and Pondicherry over the past decade. Embracing diversification, they incorporated dairy, confectionery, bread, and grocery items into their product range, enhancing their market presence and addressing evolving consumer preferences. 📌Notably, a subsidiary established by Natarajan's wife in 2016 significantly contributed to their revenue by producing natural and nutritious snacks. 📌Through perseverance, foresight, and a commitment to excellence, KPN has emerged as a leading player in the retail sector, epitomizing innovation and resilience. With an unwavering focus on customer satisfaction and sustainable growth, the brand continues to enrich the lives of consumers and communities across Tamil Nadu and beyond.

Gave 30,000 coconuts in just 4 hours! Yesterday for Pooja celebration, we need to provide 30k coconuts to Coimbatore’s largest fruits and vegetables market.

Those 30k coconuts was separated into three lots and distributed to three key players in - Ukkadam TK market - Gandhipuram market - Sai Baba Colony market. Last year we gave nearly 1 lakhs of coconuts for this festivals. But now last month there was a huge price fluctuations. Due to this the demand was decreased. Distribution team is more important than demand and supply! P.s - It suits for all products! #coconut #demand #supply
