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.

Milk is curdled
Milk curdles when a drop in pH increases acidity, causing protein molecules to bind together. Higher temperatures accelerate this process. To prevent rapid spoiling and extend shelf life beyond a few hours, large dairies typically use pasteurization and chemical preservatives.
When milk curdles naturally without treatment, it serves as evidence that the product is raw, fresh, and free from chemical additives. While curdled milk causes inconvenience, it confirms the absence of artificial preservatives.
Indeed the curdling of milk is quite disappointing as it can sometimes disrupt the routine of the day. Nobody, neither the milkman nor the consumer wants that to happen, as it causes loss of both, money as well as time.
Milk curdling usually happens when protein molecules start attracting each other due to drop in ph level of milk which turns milk acidic. The process is even faster at warmer temperature.
In order to avoid curdling of milk and increase it’s shelf life large dairy companies take various measures like pasteurization and adding chemical preservatives. These processes provide extra duration for milk to sustain and remain sellable and consumable (?). Else milk would curdle within 3-4 hours of milking.
Now coming to the point, despite the heart wrenching experience of milk curdling there is also a positive side of the same. Curdled milk is the self evidence of milk being free of chemical preservatives. Yes, the good news is your milkman has supplied you raw, fresh and chemical free milk.
When there is dilemma of choosing between quality or service, ShopApni will always choose “quality”. That is the promise !

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.
