About Akshayakalpa

Akshayakalpa is not just another dairy brand; it is a movement that is redefining the way we approach food. Our mission is to bring back the goodness in food by working with small and marginal farmers to create truly organic and nutritious products. We are not just focused on profit but also on sustainability, fair trade, and social responsibility.

We work with 850 farmers in Karnataka who earn an average of Rs 1 Lakh a month. In Tamil Nadu, Akshayakalpa is working with 300 farmers around Pooriyambakkam village of Chengalpattu district extending its training and technical services. We are proud to have transformed livelihood-based agriculture into wealth creation opportunities for small and marginal farmers and make farming an aspirational vocation for future generations.

We are gatekeepers of purity – It’s how we take care of our cows – happy & healthy in loving homes ; It’s how we care for our soil – free from pesticides & synthetic fertilizers ; it’s how we care for our soil – free from pesticides & synthetic fertilizers. It’s how we protect the purity of milk – free from contamination, adulterants & preservatives.

Introducing the GOOD FOOD MOVEMENT: Empowering consumers to connect with the source of food. Over 10,000 participants have visited our Akshayakalpa farm near Bangalore, fostering understanding and asking vital questions. Join us on this transformative journey towards a healthier future. We cultivate transparency, sustainability, and responsibility. Together, let's shape a more ethical food system—one bite, one question, and one connection at a time. Join the GOOD FOOD MOVEMENT today and become an agent of change in food consumption.

Pick the pack, turn it around, read the label – look for ingredients from your kitchen in them!

Hero products apart from milk – Yoghurt , buttermilk, cheese, bread – these will be served at the venue ; other products include ghee, virgin coconut oil, honey etc

Sharing some unique aspects about each of these –

• All made from organic milk – have zero preservatives.

• Buttermilk so fresh – made with ingredients harvested at our farms – chilli, coriander and ginger, with a dash of Himalayan pink salt – appetising and hydrating.

• Yoghurt with a tinge of honey, and no sugar, a favourite among kids.

• Proteins are the building blocks of life – Akshayakalpa products made with organic milk, are a rich source of protein that is free from all nasties.

• Ak bread is made with whole wheat, with no man-made bad in it like emulsifiers/ preservatives/ maida.

• We send tender coconuts intact with their crown, to preserve its natural state without spraying any chemical over it’s cut crown, this is normally done to prevent browning by others.

These TCs are fresh from our farms located in Tiptur, sweet coconut belt of India.

• Ghee so pure that’s been tested for 286 odd parameters – and tastes like nostalgia. Bananas are wrapped in leaves and coir – two-pronged benefit – it is sustainable, and it acts as natural ripening chamber.

We also, have our recycling initiative “ Let’s give back the milk pack” – together with over 10k consumers actively, rinsing, drying, and returning their used packs in their delivery bag we recycled 10,000 Kg plus used plastic since a year of it’s launch.

Thanks to Manisha Sanil of Akshayakalpa Organic team for sharing all info about Akshayakalpa Organic.

We will bring you detailed coverage of the event as I will be present at the venue.
