Delhi-based cooperative Mother Dairy's Manish Bandlish has resigned from his position to pursue a career outside the company, PTI reported on Friday. His term was due to come to an end on November 30.
"Manish Bandlish has decided to step down from his position as Managing Director of Mother Dairy, upon completion of his notice period on November 30, 2025, in order to pursue his professional goals outside the company," Mother Dairy told PTI. He took charge as MD in March 2021.

Mother Dairy, a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), is one of India’s leading producers of milk and dairy products. It reported a turnover of ₹17,400 crore in the last financial year, registering 16 per cent annual growth.
The company retails over 5 million litres of milk daily across several states, with over 3.5 million litres consumed in the Delhi–NCR region alone. In addition, the company sells edible oils under the 'Dhara' label and fresh and frozen fruit and vegetable products through its 'Safal' brand. It has also expanded into the bread and bakery category. Mother Dairy’s network includes nine company-owned milk processing plants, four horticulture units and 16 partner facilities for edible oils.
A report published earlier this year by the UK-based consultancy Brand Finance ranked Mother Dairy as India’s second most valuable food brand, assigning it a brand value of $1.15 billion. Gujarat’s dairy cooperative Amul held the top spot, with a brand value of $4.1 billion.
