Amul was established in 1946 as a cooperative in Anand, Gujarat to provide farmers a fair price for their milk. It is now India's largest food brand and is owned by 3.6 million milk producers. Amul follows a unique cooperative business model that protects the interests of milk farmers. Their model has been replicated across India to benefit many rural communities. Amul collects over 4.47 million liters of milk per day and has a vision to double farmers' incomes by 2020 through continued expansion.
