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.

Lactose intolerant? Consume Dahi!
If you consume milk and it causes indigestion which is associated with vomiting, gas, nausea and loose motion, you are most certainly suffering from lactose intolerance. Yea… remember, if you don’t like smell or flavour of milk, then you are not lactose intolerant, you just don’t like milk!
If you are facing lactose intolerance, then instead of removing entire dairy from your meal, you should consume fermented dairy products, for example, Dahi, Curd, Sour milk, Matha etc.
Paneer vs Cheese
Most of the time I have been asked if Paneer and Cheese are same?
My reply is, “NO”!
However, dairy industry consider them same but I have significant reasons to say that they are different.
Cheese is a product of European origin. Rather, I should say, ‘they are’ products of European origin. There are more than 500 listed varieties of cheese. To prepare them, first, milk is cultured by some specific bacteria to raise acidity of milk with production of lactic acid. After this, rennet enzyme (an enzyme extracted from fourth stomach of calf) is added to it to give curd a thicker and particular consistency. After these steps, further steps may vary. Some cheese are further salted, waxed, sprinkled with spores or ripened. ‘Ripening’ is the key factor for specific flavour and texture of cheese. Some cheese are not ripened and they are called Fresh Cheese.
