Faridabad: Every morning, people in different parts of this NCR city wake up to an unusual sight. An Audi A3 cabriolet pulls up in front of different houses and out steps a man in a T-shirt and jeans. He is delivering milk.
The atypical milkman is Amit Bhadana, a 34-year-old former banker who has traded his corporate card for dairy crates. Amit has transformed his Rs 50 lakh luxury car into perhaps India’s most fancy milk delivery vehicle. Every morning, he covers 60-70km, serving around 120 litres of milk to households in Sector 21, Sainik Colony and NIT areas.
Amit’s journey from banking to milk bottles began during the Covid pandemic when he stepped in to help his brother with the deliveries. What started as a temporary arrangement soon became a calling.
“I initially used my 750CC Harley Davidson for deliveries. But the scorching summer sun made it challenging,” he says. So, he switched to the Audi convertible. “The weather-adjustable roof makes all the difference. Now, I can stay on the streets for long, even when the roof is retracted,” he adds.
Back at their farm in Mohatabad village, 32 cows and 6 buffaloes form the backbone of the Bhadana family’s dairy business.
His father Ram Avtar, a retired Armyman, manages the farm. Amit’s brothers — Lalit, who helps with dairy operations, and Raj Singh, who manages events — complete the family along with his wife and two daughters.
Despite the Rs 400 daily fuel costs, Amit isn’t eyeing any cheaper alternative. “Every delivery run is like a joyride now. I’m living my passion for luxury vehicles, but honouring our family tradition at the same time,” he says.
According to Amit, the delivery vehicle has caught attention far and wide, with requests for milk pouring in from new areas of the city. Come winter, he plans to switch back to his Harley. But for now, he is happy being the talk of the town — the milkman who delivers in style.
