Brothers Mannu Ji and Aman Ji grew up in the village of Rampur, located in the Muzaffarpur district of Bihar state. They observed their father engaging in agriculture and livestock rearing. Dairy farming was an important source of income for the family, but the brothers also noticed the difficulties farmers face in this business.
Mannu noted that dairy farming requires a lot of labor, but the yield is often low due to poor organization. He mentioned that milk frequently soured, and many farmers, including his father, faced numerous problems.
Later, Mannu joined the merchant navy and worked for a shipping company based in Hong Kong. There, he saw how meat, fish, and fruits were transported through international supply chains while maintaining their freshness. With this experience, he began developing a plan for safely delivering unadulterated and unprocessed milk to consumers in India.
This idea led to the creation of Milkvilla—a food technology startup founded in 2021. The company currently has a team of 100 people working in Muzaffarpur and Bangalore, where its headquarters are located. The founding team includes CEO Mannu and CTO Aman, as well as CFO and Growth Director Piyush Chachondhia and Co-founder Prashant Gyan.
Mannu explained that using the traditional supply chain, milk can take seven to ten days to reach consumers. During transit, it undergoes processing, packaging, and retail sales. He calls such milk 'engineered' because chemical substances are used to extend its shelf life.
Milkvilla follows a different approach. Its supply chain covers the journey from farm to cooling unit, then to the distribution hub, and finally to the customer, with the entire process taking about 12 hours. The company uses specialized transport for collecting milk, equipped with infrastructure for cooling and testing. This transport arrives at the farmer, after which the milk is quickly cooled to four degrees Celsius, extending its shelf life to 24 hours without adding any chemicals.
Subsequently, the milk is sent to the distribution hub for quality inspection. Once it meets the set standards, it is loaded into a refrigerated van for delivery to customers. Currently, Milkvilla serves over 10,000 active customers who can track their orders through the company's app. The app operates on a prepaid subscription model, allowing customers to top up their account with any desired amount. The company makes two deliveries per day, each taking 12 hours from collection to delivery.
Milkvilla employs a local sourcing model, purchasing milk near the cities where it operates. In Muzaffarpur, the company collaborates with farmers in neighboring villages. In Bangalore, milk comes from dairy farms in the Ramanagara district, located about 50 km southwest of the city. The company interacts with around 350 dairy farmers, with Mannu stating that 60–70% of the revenue goes to the farmers.
The milk distributed by Milkvilla is predominantly A2 milk. Mannu explained that protein in milk exists in two forms: alpha-casein and beta-casein. The latter is generally considered easily digestible and is found in milk produced by our local (desi) cattle. He also mentioned that high-quality cows from Switzerland produce milk rich in alpha-casein protein.
The company has expanded its range and now supplies products such as paneer, ghee, and peda. These products follow the same supply chain recently patented by Milkvilla. The brothers invested their own funds of 1.5 crore rupees in the business. In the last four months, Milkvilla became profitable and now has a regular monthly income of 1 crore rupees.
The startup plans to scale up. Over the next six months, it intends to raise a seed round of 15 crore rupees, which will be used to open 10 distribution hubs across Bangalore. Currently, the company has one hub in Muzaffarpur and another on Sarjapur Road in Bangalore. Milkvilla competes with dairy companies such as Akshayakalpa Organic and Sid’s Farm. Mannu believes that the company's patented supply chain gives it an advantage.
Mannu concluded: 'We continue to innovate and improve our system. After completing expansion in Bangalore, we plan to do the same for all Tier 1 cities, and then expand through a franchising system. Within the next five years, we want to become a company known for distributing fresh raw milk across the country.'
Investing in the stock market is considered a risky endeavor; however, among numerous stocks are those that can become a source of significant income for investors. Some of these have demonstrated multiple growth over a very short period, while others have become multibagger stocks, enriching their holders in the long term.
If you plan to invest in the stock market, experts have identified three stocks that are predicted to show growth of 10-14 percent over the next three to four weeks. This potential return significantly exceeds the interest rates offered by bank deposits.
These recommendations are included in the Top Pick Stock List from Axis Securities. The brokerage firm Axis Securities notes that all three stocks look strong on the technical chart. Their forecast is based on indicators such as the outlook breakout pattern, bullish candlestick pattern, support from major moving averages, and momentum indicators.
Axis Securities suggested setting a buy limit for Mphasis shares in the range of 2,535–2,485 rupees, a stop-loss at 2,363 rupees, and a projected growth of 12–14%. On the weekly chart, the stock made a decisive breakthrough above the consolidated range of 2,035–2,497 rupees, receiving support from a strong bullish candle, which indicates signs of moderate growth. Experts expect the stock price to reach the level of 2,805–2,870 rupees within three to four weeks. On the day of trading closure, the stock fell by 1.22%, closing at 2,514 rupees.
The next stock in the brokerage firm's top picks list is LG Electronics India Limited. For this stock, a purchase range of 1,710–1,675 rupees, a stop-loss of 1,610 rupees, and a potential growth of 10–14% are recommended. According to Axis Securities, high activity in this asset's market indicates a significant volume of purchases. Analysts predict that within 3–4 weeks of holding, LG Electronics India stock could rise to the level of 1,855–1,925 rupees. The company's stock, with a market capitalization of 1.13 lakh rupees, closed on Monday down 3.83% at 1,663.40 rupees.
Axis Securities advised buying Aarti Industries shares in the price range of 530–520 rupees, setting a stop-loss at 495 rupees, and forecasting a potential growth of 11–14%. On the weekly chart, the stock achieved a decisive breakthrough above the multiple resistance level of 522 rupees, supported by a strong bullish candle, signaling the start of an uptrend in the medium term. Axis Securities expects Aarti Industries shares to reach the level of 585–599 rupees within three to four weeks. On Monday after daily trading, Aarti Industries shares fell by 1.67%, ending the session at 525.20 rupees.
China Mobile has released its first half of 2026 results, which once again indicates the deepening of token operations. These results announced the introduction of unified national pricing for tokens in both public and enterprise markets.
According to CAICT data, daily token usage in China has increased by over 1000 times in two years, reaching over 140 trillion by March 2026, compared to approximately 100 billion at the beginning of 2024. IDC data shows that MaaS token usage in the corporate sector reached 1,944 trillion in 2025, an increase of 16 times, with MaaS cloud service revenue amounting to 3.07 billion yuan.
This growth occurs against the backdrop of slowing revenue in the telecommunications industry: telecom business revenue in the first half of 2026 decreased by 2.1% to 887.3 billion yuan, although the volume at constant prices grew by 7.7%, demonstrating a pattern of revenue decline despite volume growth.
In May, China Mobile launched national token packages that standardized the point system for packaging token consumption across various models into unified credits, thereby lowering usage thresholds. These packages start from 5 yuan per month and include cloud computing and cloud telephony. Regional pilot projects included offers from Jiangsu Mobile—5 yuan for 2.5 million tokens, Shanghai Mobile—1 yuan for 400,000 tokens, and Beijing Mobile packages starting from 5.99 yuan.
Analyst Zhou Guijun noted that China Mobile's approach is not merely about selling quotas but about creating an intermediary platform that connects models, computing power, and applications through unified measurement. The company's token ecosystem has connected over 300 models, and centralized operations can reduce unit token costs by approximately 30% and resource utilization by more than 50%.
Competitors are also actively developing this area. China Telecom launched trial consumer-level token packages on May 17th priced at 9.9, 29.9, and 49.9 yuan for 10, 40, and 80 million tokens, respectively, as well as developer packages ranging from 39.9 to 299.9 yuan, combining tokens with communication, security, cloud, and model services. China Unicom is conducting provincial pilots in Hubei, Shanghai, and Sichuan provinces, offering personal packages from 6 to 18 million tokens tied to broadband access and AI cloud desktops. The overall industry trajectory suggests regional pilots first, followed by group platforms, and finally unified pricing.
Scaling implementation faces three main challenges. Firstly, tokens are not intuitive like data traffic: the value of one million tokens can mean ten or a hundred AI conversations, depending on the model, context, and task. The China Association of Communications Enterprises noted in July difficulties with accounting, cognitive perception barriers for users, and the immaturity of business models. Secondly, suppliers have different definitions: Tencent Cloud separately bills for input and output tokens or sells prepaid packages with multiple price breaks between models, while its TokenPlan is focused on agent and coding workloads with a monthly cost starting from 28 yuan. Thirdly, buyers: consumption is concentrated among developers, enterprise AI, agents, coding, and professional content; meanwhile, free quotas are often sufficient for ordinary consumers.
As CITIC Securities points out, the rental of computing power may shift from billing server hours to token consumption, and token operators could become a new node of value; the key factor is stable demand for AI calls as agents transition to production use.
