Our Story &
Mission

From a modest dairy farm in Yelahanka, 1940, to Karnataka's most trusted dairy brand — the Arna story is one of family, integrity, and the pursuit of pure quality.

Our Beginning

Born from a Farmer's Dream

In 1940, N. Rajanna — a young man from a peasant farming family — began what would become one of Bangalore's most enduring dairy legacies. With a deep love for cows, land, and natural living, he started what was then known as Pankaj Dairy in Yelahanka, Bangalore.

Over seven decades, N. Rajanna personally cared for approximately 3,000 cows and embodied a philosophy that still guides every decision at Arna Dairy today: that the health of the soil, the cow, and the human being are deeply interconnected.

Today, under the leadership of fourth-generation entrepreneur Dheeraj Keshav, Arna Dairy delivers over 1.35 lakh litres of fresh milk every day through a network of 17,000+ farmer partners across Karnataka.
