Heavily focused on the national capital region ( NCR ., which contributes 75% of its revenues, it hopes to expand to India's top 20-30 cities, with a focus on the south and west and generate 35% of its revenues outside of NCR.

To meet these targets the company is planning to widen its product portfolio with a bigger thrust on value-added products like ice cream, fermented milk and fruit-based drinks even as it explores new areas like frozen ready-to-eat offerings. "There is a need for accelerated change. A need to become consumer focused. The work has begun," says Nagarajan S, managing director of Mother Dairy. A graduate in dairy technology and an Indian Institute of Management , Ahmedabad alumnus, Nagarajan honed his skills over two decades in Nestle, Cadbury and Philips.
