Mumbai: Industrialisation around the world is growing steadfastly. With this, the pervasive issue of adulteration and chemical contamination has become a pressing concern for consumers globally, infiltrating one of the most fundamental components of our diet - milk. Unscrupulous practices involving the addition of water, synthetic substances, or harmful chemicals not only compromise the nutritional quality of milk but also pose a significant threat to public health.

Edited Excerpts:
On Doodhvale’s launch, the inspiration behind starting it and its differentiating aspect in the dairy industry dominated by the bigger brands
Doodhvale was launched in 2017 to address the gap in the dairy industry where the delivered milk often doesn't meet the standards of purity and freshness expected by consumers. Multiple tests conducted by govt bodies have shown that high volume of dairy products are unfit for consumption. Inspired by the desire to offer pure and fresh dairy products, Doodhvale differentiates itself by sourcing its products directly from modern, hi-tech farms, eliminating middlemen and ensuring ethical production and procurement practices. This direct farm-to-customer model sets it apart from bigger brands in the industry, prioritising quality and freshness over mass production and distribution.
On challenges in the dairy industry that prompted you to establish a direct farm-to-customer model
The challenges prevalent in the dairy industry, such as the widespread adulteration and contamination of milk, prompted Doodhvale to establish a direct farm-to-customer model. By bypassing the traditional ways of village-level sourcing, where there is very limited control over feed quality, hormonal injections, and antibiotic milk, Doodhvale works very closely with hi-tech dairy farms with international best practices to guarantee the purity and freshness of its products.
On Doodhvale differentiating itself in terms of customisation, scheduling, and payment options compared to traditional dairy suppliers
