Ved Ram Nagar, a small-time milk seller in Delhi, founded Paras Milk in 1980, starting with just 60 liters of milk daily. He had a vision to process and distribute milk on a large scale, and his hard work and dedication paid off. Over the years, the company grew rapidly, establishing a reputation for quality and reliability. In 1987, the company set up its first major plant in Sahibabad, increasing its capacity for large-scale processing and distribution. This was followed by another plant in Gulavathi in 1992, further accelerating the business.
The company continued to expand geographically, setting up a plant in Gwalior in 2004, allowing it to reach other parts of India. Ved Ram Nagar passed away in 2005, and his sons took over the company, rebranding it as Vedram and Sons Private Limited in 2008. Under this new name, the company launched various milk-related products and diversified into sectors such as healthcare, real estate, education, and pharmaceuticals, creating new revenue streams.
Today, Paras Milk delivers 3.6 million liters of milk daily, competing with industry giants like Mother Dairy and Amul. The company has a strong presence in Delhi-NCR and other major cities, providing a wide range of dairy products, including ghee, butter, cheese, curd, and flavored milk. The company’s network spans many states, including Haryana, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh, connecting directly to 5,400 villages. The company not only purchases milk from farmers but also provides financial assistance to thousands of farmers involved in dairy production and animal husbandry.
Paras Milk’s success story is a testament to the power of hard work, vision, and dedication. From a small milkman to the “milk king,” Ved Ram Nagar’s journey is an inspiration to entrepreneurs and business leaders around the world. His legacy continues to inspire his family, who are actively involved in politics and social service, contributing to education and health initiatives through the Chaudhary Ved Ram Charitable Trust.
