Most of us still remember “doodh doodh doodh, piyo glass full doodh” off pat. It’s only when you watch the old TVCs that you realise it has been more than 40 years since Mother Dairy was commissioned in 1974. What started as an initiative under Operation Flood is a leading milk brand in Delhi and NCR today, besides expanding its reach to other parts of the country.

Over the years, it has evolved into a dairy products’ player with its presence in the categories of ice creams, fruit yogurt, flavoured milk, butter, cheese, etc. It has a range of absolutely delish sugar free ice creams that are sold under the name Dietz.
Mother Dairy also manufactures, markets and sells fruits and vegetables, frozen vegetables, and juices under the brand name Safal; Dhara is its edible oils arm.

Its corporate tagline – Happy Food Happy People – resonates with the legacy it has built as the eponymous dairy brand with its range of delicious, salubrious, and high quality products. The latest ad campaign, conceptualized by Ogilvy, breaks away from the old “Maa jaisa koi nahi” TVC. The new TVC propositions “Taste that lifts you” to young adults who are equally conscious of the nutritional values of the food they eat as its taste.
Mother Dairy has an argosy of pocket-friendly, on-the-go foods that you can’t not try. Here is a lowdown:
