- It has since grown to become one of the largest food brands in India, collecting over 11 lakh liters of milk per day from milk producers.
- Amul's success is attributed to establishing a cooperative model that ensures profits go back to farmers, provides a reliable market, and brings technology and support without disrupting local agriculture.
