Heritage Foods, marks its 34th Foundation Day — a testament to its unwavering commitment to building a legacy of integrity, rural upliftment, and transparent governance.
The event was graced by Nara Lokesh, Minister for Minister of IT Electronics & Communication, Human Resources Development and RTG in Andhra Pradesh Government, who attended as the chief guest. In his address, Lokesh said, “Heritage Foods exemplifies how visionary leadership, and ethical governance can transform rural economies. Over three decades, the company has not only provided nutritional products to millions but has also uplifted the lives of countless farmers through fair and transparent practices.”
Founded in 1992 by visionary leader N. Chandrababu Naidu, it was born in the wake of economic liberalisation of early 90’s, with a singular mission ‘to empower India’s dairy farmers and delight consumers with fresh and healthy products.’ That mission has since evolved into a thriving institution rooted in values, resilience, and responsible growth.
Angara Venkata Girija Kumar, chairperson and non-executive director, Heritage Foods, said, “Our history is defined by service—service to the farmer, to the consumer, and to the nation. Through every milestone, we have consciously chosen to build our business with a governance-first mindset has allowed us to scale without compromise.”
Its robust institutional framework, guided by professional management and board oversight, has enabled it to stay ahead of both compliance and consumer expectations. This has been reinforced by sustainable practices, community engagement, and a long-term vision that puts rural prosperity and food security at its core. The company's commitment to transparency and accountability was solidified with its public listing in 1994, a move that underscored its adherence to robust corporate governance—a vision laid down by its founder.
Srideep Kesavan, CEO of Heritage Foods, said, “Legacy is more than just longevity—it’s about staying true to our founding purpose. On our 34th Foundation Day, we are excited to unveil our ambition for the next five years: ‘Vision 2030 – To be the most admired Dairy Nutrition Company in India’, backed by clear metrics and milestones. As we look ahead, we are confident that our strategy will help us continue to accelerate and be in a class of our own.”
J Samba Murthy, chief operating officer, Heritage Foods, said, “What sets Heritage apart is consistency in values. We don’t chase quick wins. We build enduring systems, empower people, and foster partnerships that last, such as expanding consumer access through our growing network of Heritage Happiness Points, and by directly sourcing from thousands of farmers through our Procurement Centres.”
