About Swarnikan 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.
n We are entering a growth phase β expanding herd capacity to produce 200 litres of ghee per month β and need a disciplined, hands-on manager to own daily farm operations.
