Manage My Business is a digital system designed to streamline daily milk operations for dairy businesses covering owners, delivery agents, and customers. In India Dairy Business, operations are highly repetitive, manual, and dependent on people rather than systems. This leads to inefficiencies, revenue leakage, and limited scalability.

Given the scope of the project, I conducted directional research to understand how dairy operations function in real-world settings.
This included:
Interviews with 3 dairy business owners
Informal discussions with team members familiar with daily operations
Observations of existing workflows and record-keeping practices

Access to dairy vendors was limited,
So the focus was on depth over volume, understanding patterns in daily operations rather than collecting large-scale data.
