Kanchi Kuttai & our focus

A native breed worth preserving

Kanchi Kuttai are dwarf cows native to Chengalpattu. Local breeds flourish in certain landscapes due to climate and compatibility — becoming a cultural value and a living tradition. The people who live alongside them grow accustomed to milk and dairy that fits their gut and gastronomy.

Native to Chengalpattu

A dwarf breed adapted to the local landscape and climate — a cultural value and local tradition worth protecting.

Gut-friendly dairy

Milk and dairy products suited to the gut and gastronomy of the communities who have lived with these cattle for generations.

Medicinal value

Certain breeds yield dairy with medicinal value — key ingredients in Siddha and Ayurveda medicine.

We work with Self-Help Groups (SHGs) of surrounding villages to rear these cattle and source their milk and dung — sustaining both the breed and the local community.
