  "account": "Milky Mist Dairy Food, based in Tamil Nadu and listed on stock markets in August, reported a remarkable 308.4% increase in profit after tax from April to September compared to the same period last fiscal year. K. Rathnam, the company's whole-time director and Chief Executive Officer, revealed that revenue from operations increased by 42.5% year-on-year and EBITDA grew by 62.9% during the first half of the current fiscal. Despite challenges such as agricultural sector inflation, El Nino impact, and geopolitical uncertainties, Milky Mist continued to grow due to its diverse range of value-added products, strategic price increases, and operational efficiency. The company's growth was fueled by consistent demand for its products, both in terms of value and volume, with the protein segment experiencing the most significant growth. Rathnam emphasized that the company's future objectives include expanding its value-added product portfolio, broadening distribution channels, and enhancing capacity utilization to meet shifting consumer demands during an online interaction with the media.",
