Seema Kumari of Begusarai established Milky Mugs Dairy in October 2025, diversified into milk processing and value-added products, and created employment for seven people.
BEGUSARAI, BIHAR: Seema Kumari, a resident of Shahpur village in Cheria Bariarpur block of Begusarai district, Bihar, has transformed her ambition of becoming an entrepreneur into a dairy business. With an investment of approximately ₹80 lakh, she has established Milky Mugs Dairy, combining dairy farming, milk processing and the production of value-added dairy products.
Once a homemaker, Seema is now managing a dairy enterprise that reportedly generates a monthly turnover of around ₹5 lakh and provides employment to seven people.
Her journey highlights the role of family support, investment in dairy infrastructure and product diversification in developing rural women-led enterprises.
From homemaker to dairy entrepreneur
Seema says she had wanted to establish her own business since childhood. However, family responsibilities after marriage meant that she had to put her entrepreneurial ambitions on hold.
Her plans took shape when she discussed the idea with her family and received support from her husband and other family members.
With their encouragement, she launched Milky Mugs Dairy in October 2025. She developed an organised dairy shed on approximately 10 katthas of land and initially started operations with around 12 improved-breed cows of different breeds and 12 heifers.
The farm also incorporates basic infrastructure aimed at maintaining livestock hygiene and ensuring access to clean drinking water.
Granite water troughs were installed near the animal-feeding areas, with a direct water supply through taps. This arrangement is intended to provide a regular supply of drinking water and support better farm management.
Investment in milk processing infrastructure
After establishing the dairy farm, Seema expanded the venture into milk processing.
In January 2026, she set up a milk processing plant alongside the farm. The facility includes a milk processing and pasteurisation machine with a stated capacity of 300 litres per hour.

The processing infrastructure has enabled the business to move beyond the sale of raw milk and develop packaged milk and value-added products.
Currently, approximately 60 litres of milk are bottled daily in glass containers, sealed and transported to Begusarai for distribution.
Diversification into value-added dairy products
Milky Mugs Dairy has expanded its product portfolio to include several dairy products alongside packaged milk.
Its current range includes:
- Curd (Dahi)
- Paneer
- Khoya
- Kulhad Lassi
- Mishti Doi
- Ghee
These products are supplied to local markets and customers in Begusarai.
Product diversification allows the business to serve different consumer requirements and explore opportunities beyond liquid-milk sales.
The dairy reportedly records a monthly turnover of approximately ₹5 lakh, while Seema continues to work towards expanding its operations.
Dairy unit provides employment to seven people
Milky Mugs Dairy currently employs seven workers, each receiving a reported monthly salary of ₹12,000–₹15,000.
The enterprise therefore contributes not only to Seema’s family business but also to local employment generation.
Its operations bring together livestock rearing, milk processing, packaging, product manufacturing and distribution within a single rural enterprise.
A model of women-led rural entrepreneurship
Seema’s journey illustrates how dairy farming can develop into a broader business through investment in processing facilities and value-added products.
Rather than depending exclusively on raw-milk sales, Milky Mugs Dairy has adopted a diversified approach that includes packaged milk, traditional dairy products and local-market distribution.
For aspiring dairy entrepreneurs, the venture also highlights the importance of planning farm infrastructure, maintaining livestock hygiene, developing processing capabilities and building access to local consumers.
From a homemaker’s ambition to an ₹80 lakh dairy enterprise, Seema’s journey reflects the growing opportunities for women-led dairy entrepreneurship in rural Bihar. Her experience demonstrates how dairy farming, processing and product diversification can be combined to create a business with local employment potential.
