From advancing sustainable oil palm cultivation to growing our presence in urban housing to expanding our dairy footprint and enabling MSME growth via digital-first solutions, our partnership with the Government of Telangana is a step toward shaping an inclusive, innovative and resilient future.”
Sunil Kataria, CEO and MD, Godrej Agrovet, said, “Consumer demand for value-added dairy products in India and also in the state of Telangana is witnessing a double-digit growth.
