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.
