As the dairy world prepares to gather in Dubai from April 7–10 for the much-anticipated Dairy Olympics 2025, all eyes are on the speakers who will shape the future discourse of our industry. Among the key voices this year is Jhelum Choudhury, Consultant at TechnoServe and one of Asia’s leading minds in sustainable agriculture and dairy value chain transformation.
With an impressive track record across India, Cambodia, and Thailand, Choudhury brings a rare, field-grounded lens to the global stage — one that blends grassroots insight with systems-level strategy. His keynote at Dairy Olympics will focus on “Redesigning Asia’s Dairy Value Chains: Equity, Climate, and Quality at the Core.”
At Dairy Dimension, we see this as a particularly significant moment for Indian dairy stakeholders. Choudhury is currently spearheading a major milk quality procurement initiative in Maharashtra, a collaboration between TechnoServe and a leading global dairy company. The goal: to uplift milk hygiene standards, embed traceability, and directly improve smallholder incomes through high-integrity sourcing. With India facing growing scrutiny on export quality and sustainability, this initiative offers a live model of what the future of milk procurement could — and should — look like.
Choudhury’s session is expected to connect the dots between:
- Digital traceability and farmer incentives
- Carbon finance and climate-smart dairy
- Regenerative practices in tropical smallholder systems
- Public-private models for inclusive value chain investment
What makes his voice uniquely compelling is the span of his experience. From advising Abbott Nutrition’s dairy supply chain in India to driving solar-powered irrigation adoption in Cambodia and leading agri-business strategy across Laos and Sri Lanka, Choudhury operates at the intersection of innovation, equity, and economics.
For the Indian dairy sector — especially those of us watching shifts in export policy, consumer preferences, and ESG mandates — his presence at Dairy Olympics is more than symbolic. It signals a pivot. One toward better milk, smarter systems, and value chains where producers and processors win together.
Dairy Dimension will be covering the event closely, bringing insights, interviews, and key takeaways directly from Dubai. If you’re attending, don’t miss Jhelum Choudhury’s session — it’s set to be one of the most talked-about moments of the conference.
