INDIA – America’s leading dairy technology, services, and intelligence provider, Dairy.com, has acquired Mr.Milkman to strengthen its integrated supply chain solution offerings for dairies worldwide.

“We also look forward to providing some of the most advanced solutions Dairy.com has to offer to the milk brands in India.”
India is the world’s largest producer and consumer of milk and dairy products and at a valuation of US$152 billion, the region offers support companies like Dairy.com one of the greatest opportunities for growth.
Furthermore, India’s exponential rise of e-commerce and its increasing consumer demand for convenience, value, food safety, ease of payment, and product variety from the industry is creating demand for services from companies like Dairy.com and Mr.Milkman.
“Indian dairy sector and milk brands in India will need to employ technology at every level, right from procurement of milk to last delivery mile in order to grow and be successful,” Setia added.
