Milk Shakes
The three words that are fundamental filters to what we do. From creating new concoctions, to packaging to interiors, the idea is to be different. Why? Cause there is no fun in doing things, which have already been done. That’s boring.
Milkshake And Co. started as a pop-up store operating out of flea markets in the parking lots of north London underground stations. It was a master plan to make a quick buck so that our college going founder could indulge in buying that pair of sneakers or that puffed up bomber jacket. From those humble beginnings to now operating 5 stores with the aim of reaching 15 stores by the year end, its been nothing short of a fantabulous fairytale story for us.
Shakeaway is the original re-inventor of milkshakes and started a cult following in 1999 with the first shop opening in the sunny seaside town of Bournemouth on the south coast of England, our lovely customers liked it so much we now have stores around the world!
Now with more than 180 flavours and millions of possible combinations, each milkshake is made to order by hand for every customer using real and fresh ingredients every time. The choices are endless such as ferrero rocher & daim bar, real fresh fruit such as banana and passion fruit, luxury shakes such as red velvet cake and salted caramel, the millionaire’s milkshake made with real 23 carat edible gold and our amazing fizzy soda shakes made with real coke, fanta orange zero and more.
We have also re-invented a range of refreshing real fruit smoothies made with special crunchy ice, our amazing lower fat crispy and tasty fries, 100% fat free frozen yoghurt desserts that eat more like an ice cream and shaved ice re-invented made from pure fruit puree topped with real fruit at less than 160 calories per serving (available in selected stores worldwide). As you can see Shakeaway has a wide and balanced menu with reduced sugar ice cream in our shakes and fit and healthy shakes that really are good for you and don’t forget that we cater for most allergies.

Created in 1925, reimagined in 2015.
In the early 1900's, Edward Keventer, a Swedish dairy consultant established dairy manufacturing units across Delhi, Aligarh, Calcutta and Darjeeling. In 1925, he set up company under the name we have come to know and love. Over the next few years, Keventers emerged as one of the prominent dairy manufacturers in India. The dairy was later acquired by Ram Krishna Dalmia in mid 1940, and continued to provide milk products until its shutdown in the '70s. In 2015, Agastya Dalmia, Aman Arora and Sohrab Sitaram decided to revive the brand under its original moniker, with the original recipes.

They told us the world didn’t need more dessert.
We decided to shake it up.
When Mr Keventer started his dairy farm in 1925, he was probably challenged too: who knows dairy better than India? 90 years later when we set out to change what India drinks, success seemed far-out. 2.5 million bottles later, we’re still mixing up fresh concoctions, and shaking it up in India, Nepal, UAE and Kenya.
If there’s ever milkshake on the moon, we’ll be the ones serving it.
India. The 1920s. Edward Keventer, a Danish dairy entrepreneur, decides to establish dairy manufacturing units in India. Within a decade he has set up-eponymous plants in Delhi, Aligarh, Calcutta and Darjeeling. By the 1940s Edward Keventer emerges as one of the prominent dairy manufacturers in India. After Independence the dairy acquires Indian ownership, when Ram Krishna Dalmia buys the Keventer dairy project located in Sardar Patel Marg from Edward Keventer’s son, Werner. Thereafter, the company is known by the name Edward Keventer [Successors] Pvt. Ltd.
R K Dalmia continually upgrades the facilities, focuses on modernization and adds products. The latest milk bottling machinery manufactured in England called UDECK is added. To ensure freshness and purity a pasteurizer made by a Swedish company, ALFA LAVAL is acquired, a reputed brand even today in milk pasteurization.
To increase the company’s milk varieties a cream separator made in Westphalia, Germany is purchased. With this we produce toned milk, skimmed milk, full cream milk, etc. With separated cream, we are also able to produce butter, therefore a butter churner SILKEBORG was imported from Denmark. Butter and ghee later became popular products.The final addition to the Keventers plant was NEDOU, the milk powder atomizer that enabled the conversion of milk into condensed milk powder. At that time these acquisitions enabled Keventers to develop into a leading manufacturer of dairy products.
Keventers condensed milk powder and milkshakes became known far and wide. In Delhi alone Keventers had 48 distributers and stockists, a distribution network that had grown to meet the increased demand for fresh Keventers’ milk. Through this wide network milk, milkshake, ice cream and butter reached different parts of Delhi. Less perishable items such as condensed milk and milk powder were shipped to various markets throughout the country.
By the late 1960s, Keventers was equated with dairy excellence. All products had the ISI standardization mark as well as the AGMARK mark of quality. It is therefore not surprising that even the armed forces throughout the country, including such far flung places as Assam, relied on us for condensed milk and milk powder.Due to this, in 1969 the Lt. Governordeclared in a written communication that Keventers was a Public Utility Undertaking.
Our typical ice cream cart all over Delhi was cream coloured with red borders, however the late 60s saw Keventers’ carts bathed in psychedelic colours. In the early 70s Keventers’ appointed anad agency – Ad Infinitum – and launched various catchy and attractive slogans such as ‘I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream’.
At the Asia ’72 exhibition, the Keventers’ stall was very popular. We had many ice cream varieties in cups, cones and bars. One of the most expensive was cassata with a triple layer of strawberry, vanilla and pista, resting on a bed of delicious spongy cake.
The butter we sold was wrapped in a cream and blue printed wrapper and was much in demand for its quality. For those who wanted the goodness of ghee there was nothing like Keventers. One of our most remembered products was our milkshakes. Attractive wide mouthed bottles containing nourishing Keventers’ milk arrived fresh and cool every morning all overthe city, with water droplets forming over the bottles and red and blue aluminium foil caps. Three of the most popular flavours were yellow banana, pink strawberry and green pineapple. The name of Keventersbecame synonymous with dairy products in Delhi, for example, a milkshake was no longer referred to as a ‘milk’ shake, but rather as a ‘Keventers’ shake.
As the city of New Delhi grew and changed so did the area of Chanakyapuri in which the factory was located. It became a prime residential and diplomatic area, rather than an industrial one. Keventers therefore was no longer allowed to run its dairy factory there.This proud dairy of Delhi which had been carefully planned and located next to its market, was forced to close its doors.
In 2015, Agastya Dalmia, the great-grandson of Ram Krishna Dalmia, along with Aman Arora and Sohrab Sitaram, decided to resurrect the brand. The first outlet launched in March 2015 in New Delhi, India. Upon receiving an overwhelmingly positive response, we quickly expanded our outlets across 65 cities in India, Kathmandu (Nepal), Dubai, Sharjah, Nairobi (Kenya). The legacy lives on and a new chapter is being written in our story.
