Meet 62-year-old Navalben who sold more than Rs 1 crore worth of milk in a year

In an inspiring tale of hard work and determination, a 62-year-old woman from Gujarat has reached new heights through her business acumen and entrepreneurial capabilities. Many would be surprised to know that she accomplished so much by selling milk. This exemplary woman is Navalben Dalsangbhai Chaudhary, who belongs to the Nagana village in the Banaskantha district of Gujarat.

The 62-year-old woman went against all the odds and managed to make a remarkable achievement. As per the media reports, Navalben managed to make an awe-inspiring record of selling milk worth Rs 1.10 crore in a year. She managed to do so in 2020, while making a profit of Rs 3.50 lakh per month. Her record-worthy sales were nothing new as she had previously sold milk worth Rs 87.95 lakh in 2019.

This tale of success started when Navalben started a company at her home with one motive and it was to sell milk. To fulfill the needs of her business and cater to the demands of her customers in several villages in the region, she keeps as many as 80 buffaloes and 45 cows for milking.

Media reports suggest that Navalben has been recognised for her achievements and honoured with the Best 'Pashupalak' award in her district three times. She has also been awarded the 'Lakshmi' award twice.

She told the media that her four sons who were studying and working in the cities unlike her earned less than her. She proclaimed that she was the first in her district in Gujarat to sell milk worth Rs 87.95 lakh in 2019 and that she was number one with her sales of milk worth more than Rs 1 crore in 2020.

Navalben goes about her chores and milks her dairy animals every morning. She also has fifteen employees now working for her at her dairy.
