Dairy company Milky Mist moves a step closer to its Rs 2,000 crore initial public offering as it passes a resolution to convert into a public company. Dairy company Milky Mist moves a step closer to its Rs 2,000 crore initial public offering as it passes a resolution to convert into a public company. This development follows the recent appointment of two independent directors, Radha Venkatakrishnan and Mallika S Janakiraman, as exclusively reported by Entrackr in April. The board at Milky Mist passed a special resolution to change its status to a public company and rename it from “Milky Mist Dairy Food Private Limited” to “Milky Mist Dairy Food Limited”, as per its regulatory filing. According to media reports, the company is planning to launch a Rs 2,000 crore IPO, which will include both fresh shares and an offer for sale. The IPO is expected to value the company at around $2.3 billion, with JM Financial, IIFL Capital, and Axis Bank likely to be the lead managers. Founded by T. Sathish Kumar, Milky Mist operates a direct farm-to-fork model, sourcing milk directly from farmers and producing over 150 SKUs across 20 categories, including curd, paneer, ghee, and cheese. It also offers online purchase of its products and controls the entire supply chain to ensure quality, with distribution focused mainly in South India. In the fiscal year ending March 2024, the company posted a 33% year-on-year revenue growth, reaching Rs 1,900 crore. However, its profit declined to Rs 19.46 crore in FY24 from Rs 28 crore in the previous fiscal. Milky Mist joins the league of companies such as boAt, Pine Labs, OfBusiness, Shiprocket, and Shadwofax which turned into public entities as they anticipate their initial public offerings in near future or 2025.
