Keventers Milkshake was founded in 1925 by Edward Keventer, a Danish
dairy entrepreneur and technologist who the British Government recruited in 1889 to modernize India's dairy industry. Keventer moved to India in 1889, and in 1894 purchased the floundering Aligarh Dairy in the
United Provinces. Within a decade Keventer had established eponymous plants in
Delhi,
Aligarh,
Calcutta and
Darjeeling. After Keventer died in 1937, industrialist Ram Krishna Dalmia, a Keventers distributor at the time, bought the brand in 1940. The company's expansion expanded to 48 distribution points around the
National Capital Region in
Delhi. In the 1970s, Keventers' primary plant in Chanakyapuri was forced closed by the Indian government to further expand the diplomatic enclave there. After this, Dalmia focused his energy on other business notions, losing interest in the Keventers brand. A small number of Keventers outlets continued to exist, run by a few of its remaining distributors. ==Today==
