Amul’s commitment to offering protein-rich, organic, and chemical-free dairy products has earned it the trust of international consumers. To keep pace with this growing demand, the company is heavily investing in infrastructure and capacity expansion.
The Cooperative Model: India’s Revolutionary GiftJayen Mehta attributes Amul’s success to the cooperative model pioneered by Dr. Verghese Kurien, often referred to as the “Father of the White Revolution” in India.

The future is bright for this iconic brand as it brings high-quality, trusted products to international consumers.
