Founded in 1992 by visionary leader N. Chandrababu Naidu, it was born in the wake of economic liberalisation of early 90’s, with a singular mission ‘to empower India’s dairy farmers and delight consumers with fresh and healthy products.’ That mission has since evolved into a thriving institution rooted in values, resilience, and responsible growth.

Angara Venkata Girija Kumar, chairperson and non-executive director, Heritage Foods, said, “Our history is defined by service—service to the farmer, to the consumer, and to the nation. Through every milestone, we have consciously chosen to build our business with a governance-first mindset has allowed us to scale without compromise.”

Its robust institutional framework, guided by professional management and board oversight, has enabled it to stay ahead of both compliance and consumer expectations. This has been reinforced by sustainable practices, community engagement, and a long-term vision that puts rural prosperity and food security at its core. The company’s commitment to transparency and accountability was solidified with its public listing in 1994, a move that underscored its adherence to robust corporate governance—a vision laid down by its founder.
