Meet R.G. Chandramogan, a true idol of the Indian dairy industry whose story embodies grit, determination, and the power of dreams. This school dropout from Thiruthangal, Tamil Nadu, began his career earning a humble Rs. 65 a month at a timber depot. At just 21, with a mere Rs. 13,000, he took a leap of faith into the ice cream business, starting small in a 250 sq. ft. space with just three employees.
His ambition was fueled by early success, earning Rs. 1.5 lakh in his first year selling ice cream in pushcarts. This momentum led him to found Hatsun Agro Products in 1986, revolutionizing the dairy supply chain by directly sourcing milk from farmers and establishing factory-style outlets.
Today, Hatsun Agro Products is an empire spanning over 3 million sq. ft., employing more than 8,000 people, and boasts beloved brands like Arokya, Gomatha, Arun Icecreams, and Ibaco. Not only does it dominate the Indian market, but its products are also exported to 42 countries, with an astounding annual turnover of Rs. 20,000 crore!
At 74, R.G. Chandramogan stands as one of India's richest individuals, with a net worth exceeding Rs. 13,000 crore. His journey from a Rs. 65 salary to building a multi-crore empire is a powerful testament to what unwavering hard work and a clear vision can achieve.
