He returned from Singapore to realise his dream back home

Deepak Gupta left behind the comforts of his promising international career in Singapore to pursue his dream back home. He says he is a happy man now.

Gupta, who spent nearly 30 years in Singapore working at a global company connecting the food chain system after completing studies at DAV College in Chandigarh, wanted to set up a technology-enabled modern dairy farm in Punjab.

Two years after his return from Singapore, he has achieved his objective by setting up the Himalayan Creamery in Nabha, a historic city in Patiala district about a two-hour drive from Chandigarh.

Gupta, 54, says he does not regret taking the plunge into entrepreneurship. Why would he?
Having gained understanding of the agriculture sector because of his years spent at the food chain system firm in Singapore, Gupta said: "I began to consider my dream of setting up a dairy farm in India to be able to market fresh milk to customers directly from our farm."
