A2 Milk in Chandigarh, Zirakpur, Panchkula, Mohali, Vapi & Silvassa
In 2016, we started our journey in Chandigarh, driven by a simple idea — make genuine desi cow A2 milk accessible to families while creating a sustainable livelihood for local cow rearers.
We launched our A2 milk initiative in the Chandigarh Tricity — Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula and Zirakpur — at a time when A2 milk was still a relatively new concept for most consumers.
And the response was incredible!
Over the years, ShopApni delivered more than 7 lakh litres of milk across the Chandigarh Tricity. Thousands of families trusted us with something that is part of their everyday life — their milk.
More importantly, our customers didn’t just buy from us. They supported us, appreciated our work and stood by us, giving us the motivation to keep going and keep improving.
Then came COVID and the years that followed.
The next three years brought major disruptions to delivery operations and presented challenges that forced us to rethink the way we connected local cow rearers with consumers.
But one thing never changed: our commitment to the welfare and prosperity of the local cow-rearer community.
Instead of simply bringing back the old model, we reimagined it.
Today, ShopApni is an A2 milk marketplace where verified local Cow Guardians can list their milk, reach customers directly and build their own customer base.Customers can discover local A2 milk vendors, compare offerings and prices, and subscribe according to their requirements.
The journey that began in Chandigarh in 2016 is now expanding across Chandigarh, Zirakpur, Panchkula, Mohali, Vapi and Silvassa.
For us, this isn’t simply about selling milk.
From A2 Milk Delivery to an A2 Milk Marketplace
It is about building a stronger local ecosystem where cow rearers prosper, customers get greater choice and trust, and local communities grow together. And when the very Cow Guardians we built this platform for tell us that they appreciate what ShopApni has done for them, it makes the entire journey worthwhile.
7 lakh+ litres delivered.
Thousands of families served.
A community that kept us going.
And a mission that continues.

The Benefits of Local Indian Cow Breeds
Natural processes adapt food production to suit the climatic conditions and dietary needs of specific regions. The modern locavore movement reflects this concept, highlighting that consuming locally produced food provides essential nutrients tailored to a person’s local ecosystem and overall health.
Applying this logic to livestock, the best native Indian cow is the local breed native to one’s specific region. These regional cows have built natural immunity to local diseases over time and produce A2 milk optimal for the health of local consumers.
Many ancient philosophers and even modern scientists have opined that the whole cosmos is governed by an invisible all pervading “intelligence”, and they proposed a theory of intelligent design. All sort of natural processes being carried out all around us are in fact being governed by this intelligence, be it growth of a tree or the blossoming of a flower or even the formation of DNA, the fundamental unit of life.
So the nature which provides us food we consume and the fiber we wear has an underlying intelligence due to which we get the kind of food which suits best in the given climatic conditions. In the country as diverse as India, food habits vary significantly with the variation in climatic conditions, like we see in deserts, mountains, coastal areas or in Gangetic plains people tend to consume different kind of food.
In modern perspective a new food movement called “locavorism” has also started. By definition, “locavore” is a person interested in buying and consuming locally produced food.
Besides many socio economic implications of locavorism the most significant one is that the locally grown food is the best healer of human body. It provides all essential nutrients which our body requires within that particular ecosystem it has been exposed to.
Now lets come to our topic, which breed of Indian cow is best? The answer becomes quite simple now. The one which is found in your region, the one which has survived there for thousands of years, because it has naturally built up an immune system to counter most common diseases found in that region. And it definitely strengthens you up with the same with it’s A2 milk
By this logic, we can conclude that all breeds of cows are good but the best one is your desi cow the LOCAL BREED.
Inconsistency is good !
Inconsistency is good !
Yes, inconsistency is good, especially when it comes to milk. Our customers often report about the slight change in taste and thickness of milk as the climate changes. There are many more factors which determine the taste and fat content of milk, e.g. lactation cycle of cows and fodder we provide to them. As Buddha said, change is the only thing which is permanent in this world ! Standardisation and homogenization of milk keeps the taste and thickness of milk unchanged throughout the year which could be hazardous for human health. Whatever we consume comes from the nature which intelligently provides us nutrition in accordance with climatic conditions. We ought to adhere to laws of nature in order to keep ourselves healthy and wealthy too. So enjoy the change, enjoy the inconsistency in taste and thickness, just cherish the purity !
