About Swarnika Swarnika Organic Farms is a boutique indigenous-breed dairy operation in Bangalore, focused on A2 milk and traditional bilona ghee. We service 50+ loyal home-delivery customers and are scaling to supply premium A2 ghee to institutional buyers. We work only with indigenous breeds (Sahiwal, Rathi) and follow ethical, ayurvedic supply-chain principles.
We are entering a growth phase — expanding herd capacity to produce 200 litres of ghee per month — and need a disciplined, hands-on manager to own daily farm operations.
What You'll Own Herd Management
Daily health, feeding, and welfare of all cows and calves
Maintain individual records for every animal — milking, breeding, health, productivity
Coordinate vet visits, vaccinations, and deworming schedules
Identify and isolate sick animals early; escalate appropriately
Breeding Discipline (Critical)
Twice-daily heat detection — every cow, every day, logged
Coordinate AI (artificial insemination) within 12–18 hours of heat onset
Maintain breeding calendar: AI dates, pregnancy confirmation (60–90 days), dry-off (60 days pre-calving), calving, post-calving AI window
Target calving interval: 13–14 months per cow
Milk & Ghee Production
Supervise twice-daily milking; ensure hygiene and quality
Track per-cow daily yield
Oversee traditional bilona ghee-making process
Quality control — consistency across batches is non-negotiable
Feed & Fodder
Manage green fodder, silage, and concentrate feed inventory
Coordinate with suppliers; control feed cost per animal
Tune nutrition to lactation stage (dry / milking / pre-calving)
Team & Operations
Supervise farm workers (milkers, cleaners, helpers)




Coordinate home-delivery logistics for the 40 existing milk customers — zero disruption
Maintain farm hygiene, equipment, and infrastructure
Reporting
Weekly report to founder: milk yield, breeding status, health issues, costs, fulfilment status
Monthly P&L; input — feed cost, labour, vet, output
Must-Have 3+ years hands-on experience managing a dairy farm (indigenous breeds preferred)
Practical knowledge of heat detection, AI coordination, calving management
Ability to read and maintain records — Kannada, Hindi, or English
Willingness to live on or near the farm
Discipline and reliability — this role is 80% consistency, 20% problem-solving
Positive-to-Have Experience with A2 milk or premium dairy operations
Familiarity with traditional bilona ghee-making
Basic smartphone literacy (we will likely deploy a farm-management app)
Veterinary first-aid knowledge
Network of AI technicians, vets, and fodder suppliers in Bangalore rural belt
Not a Fit If You need constant supervision
You treat cattle as machines rather than animals
You cut corners on hygiene or animal welfare
You have never owned a breeding calendar in your life
Why This Role This is not a caretaker job. Swarnika has committed demand waiting — a premium institutional buyer ready to take 100 litres of ghee per month. The farm has existing infrastructure, loyal customers, and a founder committed to scaling it right. We need someone who will own this like it is their own.
Performance incentive is tied directly to ghee output and breeding conception rates — meaning a disciplined manager can earn meaningfully more than base.
