Location Nanjapura / Jigani, Bangalore Rural (Near Electronic City) Reports to Som Dadhich, Founder Compensation ₹30,000 – ₹50,000/month + performance incentive Type Full-time, on-site (farm residence preferred) Probation 2 months 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 Good-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.
