The Zestful Journey of Urja

Urja, a flagship brand of Kutwal Foods Pvt. Ltd., was brought to life to offer the best-quality dairy-based products like milk, milk by-products, packaged drinking water, carbonated beverages, fruit beverages, ice creams and sweets. Today, Urja has become a favoured choice of Maharashtra.

However, the initial years after the launch of Urja were challenging for the company. The MD of Kutwal Foods Pvt. Ltd., Mr. Ramdas Kutwal, had to travel across Maharashtra and pin every town to set up a distribution chain. But it was all worth it when he created one big family of distributors and formed an everlasting relationship with them. Having started with packaged drinking water and milk initially, Kutwal brothers soon gauged the changing market and decided to diversify Urja. Soon, Urja started to manufacture milk by-products to cope with the competitive market. This move by the company brought tremendous success to the brand’s growth. Today Kutwal Foods Pvt. Ltd. has the largest flavoured milk facility in Maharashtra. Followed by the success of Flavoured Milk, the company then introduced Lassi, Buttermilk, Carbonated Beverages, and Fruit Beverages which also created a buzz everywhere. All the products at Kutwal Foods Pvt. Ltd., are manufactured with pure innovation and unique recipes. At Kutwal Foods Pvt. Ltd., innovation is not just limited to products. The company devised a very innovative, efficient, and attractive product packaging that caught consumers’ attention.

In 2012-13, to further extend Urja’s legacy, the company launched its first retail franchise store, My Urja. A successfully proven business model that has been functioning for a decade and has 100 plus outlets. It is Maharashtra’s fastest-growing dairy-based franchise model with an illustrious legacy of creating successful entrepreneurs. With apt supply chain management & proactive technical assistance, My Urja maintains hassle-free operation. Recently, Urja launched its first-ever division of new sweets.

The sweet division is the reason to make your every moment a sweet celebration. With this new division, Urja is now approaching to transcend its growth in the near future.

The Timeless Legacy

Although the company was incepted in 2001, its solid foundation was rooted in 1982 when Mr. Ramdas Kutwal started working at Tata Motors. Aspiring to pursue a career in ITI, Mr. Ramdas was rejected from the ITI institute as he was underweight but that did not hinder his ambitions. In the very next year, he got shortlisted for the training program at Tata Motors. In his tenure at Tata Motors, Mr. Ramdas Kutwal did not only attain technical proficiency, but he also gained management skills and nuances in the business. At an incredibly young age, Mr. Ramdas Kutwal started a small clothing business, and he was running it successfully. It is where his elder brother, Mr. Prakash Kutwal, spotted a spark in him and gave him an opportunity to work in the corporate world. Being analytical by birth, soon Mr. Ramdas Kutwal learned every aspect of the business. It was the real beginning of the Kutwal Food Pvt. Ltd.
