DairyKhata, a fintech platform designed specifically for India’s dairy sector, is revolutionizing the way milk payments are managed and recorded. In a landscape where 80 million rural families rely on dairy farming, most of whom lack access to transparent or timely payment systems, DairyKhata is filling a critical void. The platform digitizes milk procurement records, providing both farmers and collection centers with real-time updates, eliminating manual errors and opaque cash-based transactions.

The startup is addressing one of the biggest pain points in India’s dairy value chain—lack of trust and delayed payments. By using the app, dairy farmers receive instant digital receipts and can monitor their earnings with clarity. Collection centers benefit from automated record-keeping and streamlined operations, which previously required time-consuming paper ledgers. This is especially significant in a fragmented sector that handles billions of liters of milk annually.

DairyKhata’s integration of financial tools is also increasing access to credit for farmers. Since users now have digital payment histories, they become eligible for short-term credit solutions and other financial services that were previously out of reach. This strengthens rural financial inclusion and could help stabilize household incomes in farming communities often plagued by seasonal income variability.
