WHY HE CHOSE THE MILK MARKET?

Ebrahim -

I am a businessman and I am always looking for where the next opportunity is.

Technology is a huge displacer and milk is something that needs to be displaced and optimised

from the current channel . How long will we survive on this fragmentation.

This is a real ripe opportunity which is a network to 80 percent of India’s population .

There is nothing larger than this.
