R S Sodhi, the managing director of Amul Federation, has been chosen to serve as the new president of the Indian Dairy Association (IDA). A few of the organizations that make up IDA, the leading association for the Indian dairy industry, which was established in 1948, include dairy cooperatives, multinational corporations, corporate entities, private institutions, educational institutions, and government and public sector units.
Sodhi currently sits on the board of the International Dairy Federation in addition to serving as the president of the 18-member dairy company that manufactures milk products under the Amul brand (IDF).
Upon being elected as IDA President, Sodhi said, “It is an honor for me to represent the IDA because Dr. Varghese Kurien, my mentor, held the same post in the year 1964, and now I received the opportunity to head this organization after 58 years.”
Dr. Sodhi has worked for Amul for 40 years and has served as the company’s CEO for the past 12 years. It’s also important to remember that he was chosen to serve on the International Dairy Federation (IDF) Board the previous year.
