Marketing Assistant

About Us:

A little over 20 years ago it came to our attention that Sundeep, a well-respected and established Indian caterer, was making his own yogurt to use in drinks and sweets. He felt that this was the only way he could get the authentic flavor he needed for his Indian recipes.

Back then, if you visited any grocery store, you would only find American style and brands. Families had two choices: buy the American style or make their own at home. Out of this dilemma Desi Natural Dahi was born.

Our company has grown based on consumer requests. Over the years we’ve added Whole Milk and Lower Fat Desi Paneer Cheese and ORGANIC Desi Natural Dahi! Now, we are proud to introduce, refreshingly authentic Desi Natural Lassi and Yogurt Drinks. Our name, Desi Natural Dahi, reflects the fact that our products do not contain any artificial preservatives, and they have THE authentic “Desi” taste you crave. Consistency, quality, purity, and — above all — taste are the reasons why we are the #1 brand of Indian yogurt in the United States.

We are launching a new phase of growth with the opening of our new manufacturing plant in Winchester, VA that will allow us to bring our great products to an ever larger market as we develop more partnerships.
