Headquartered on Hennur Airport Road, Bangalore, Arna Dairy partners with 17,000 farming families across Karnataka — particularly in Chikmagaluru, Shivamogga, Hassan, Mandya, Tumkur, and Davanagere — while also procuring high-quality buffalo milk from Cuddapah in Andhra Pradesh. This ensures a sustainable supply of fresh, nutritious dairy to urban households. Arna’s farmer-first philosophy is woven into the very fabric of its operations, creating a dairy ecosystem that benefits farmers, consumers, and communities alike.
In Karnataka’s dairy industry, Arna Dairy stands out not just for the purity of its milk, but for the depth of its commitment to farmers. Behind every litre of Arna milk lies a partnership built on trust, fairness, and growth — a partnership that empowers thousands of farming families across the Malnad Belt and beyond.
A Legacy of Purity and Community Care
With roots tracing back to Pankaj Dairy in 1940, Arna Dairy has grown into a brand synonymous with purity, transparency, and care for the community. Under the leadership of Keshava Rajanna and his son Dheeraj Keshav, Arna has transformed from a humble dairy farm into a trusted supplier for households and premium hospitality brands. For Arna, dairy is not just a business — it is a livelihood and a promise to farmers who form the backbone of the brand’s success.
A Farmer-First Philosophy
Arna Dairy’s model is unique. Instead of being mere buyers, Arna treats farmers as partners, offering support that goes beyond procurement. This includes:
- Fair and Transparent Pricing: Competitive rates with premium pricing for quality milk and same-day payments.
- Nutrition & Feed Assistance: Guidance and resources for balanced feed, mineral supplements, and nutrition plans to enhance milking efficiency.
- Veterinary Support: Regular health camps and emergency assistance at the farmer’s doorstep.
- Transparent Testing: Every can of milk is tested for SNF, fat, MRCT, antibiotics, and adulterants, with results communicated via SMS and digital passbooks.
- Financial Assistance: Loan linkages through bank tie-ups, personal and family insurance, and advances for emergencies or cattle purchases.
This integrated approach strengthens farmers’ livelihoods, ensures consistent quality for consumers, and creates a sustainable dairy ecosystem.
A Vision for Sustainable Growth
Arna’s vision goes beyond dairy production. With expansion plans that include a state-of-the-art facility at KIADB-Kadur in Chikmagaluru, Arna is scaling capacity from 50,000 litres/day to 2 lakh litres/day. This growth will create employment for 500 people and positively impact over 37,500 farmers in the region.
The Arna model demonstrates that growth in dairy is not just about volume — it is about building relationships, empowering communities, and sustaining livelihoods.
Building Trust Through Partnership
For farmers, Arna Dairy offers more than a price for milk. It offers a future built on stability, respect, and mutual growth. This commitment is why farmers choose Arna and why consumers trust its brand. In Arna’s story, every farmer is not just a supplier — they are a partner in delivering purity, transparency, and sustainability in every drop of milk.
