MilkLane Begins “Doorstep Delivery of Safe Milk” Across Bengaluru City

During the nationwide lockdown due to the Covid-19, dairy startup MilkLane has begun home delivery of its products in Bengaluru. The move would help the residents avoid the hassle of stepping out of their homes and make long queues for the essential daily commodity. Consumers can register by Free dialing the number 09353100107 or via WhatsApp for availing doorstep delivery.

Bengaluru-based MilkLane has added the new delivery channel to ease the availability of dairy products, as the disruption in the industry supply chain has led to a gap in the supply of essential goods in the past few days. The startup, aimed at providing antibiotic-free, safe and standardized high-quality milk to consumers, has already made its products available through a strong distribution network of retail outlets and online delivery aggregators, who are facing challenges in providing essentials during the Coronavirus crisis.

We have started this service to help people avoid the risk of stepping out while still availing themselves of best quality products that maintain the  highest hygiene regulations."

UHT - Healthy milk with long shelf-life

Supply constraints in the milk industry have known to lead to a sharp rise in milk adulteration. The UHT packaging, along with adequate food safety measures at every level of the supply chain - collection, processing, and distribution - helps MilkLane deliver high-quality milk to the families in Bengaluru.

MilkLane procures its own milk and gets it processed in its own state of the art plant , maintaining the high standards of health and hygiene. The milk is processed with Ultra-High-Temperature (UHT) technology to provide a safe and enhanced 90-days non-refrigerated shelf life. The process preserves the required  nutrients in the milk, which is then packaged in pre-sterilized tetra packs.

About MilkLane

MilkLane (ML), incubated by Pioneering Ventures, is India's first dairy company to provide high-quality milk that is safe from toxins and antibiotics contaminations. After being active in the B2B segment, the company ambitiously forays into the consumer segment in Bengaluru.

* DIMA Warrior - Internet Security Solutions

“Hackers target remote workers”, “Hospitals warned of cyber-attacks” … these are some of the headlines that grab our attention in the leading dailies. The world is paying the heavy price due to the corona outbreak and subsequent lockdown. But let’s not allow the hackers to penetrate our computer network. It is better to meet a problem in time than to seek remedy after the damage is done. We need to have a powerful security system for connected devices.

It is a must to ensure our work tools are set up with the proper security. Our computer, phone and tablets should be up-to-date and protected against security threats.  We are very keen in concentrating the DNS level security which plays a key role in the cyber kill chain – 91% of malware use DNS services to build attacks. A global 2019 DNS Security survey conducted by IDC revealed that 82% of respondents said they had been targeted by a DNS attack in the last 12 months. Traditional security systems are not enough to mitigate this type of threat, as they could be easily avoided.

Dima Business Solutions, startup IT company, has developed a powerful security solution that works seamlessly across devices, which is named “DIMA Warrior”.

DNS Firewall is embedded in Dima virtual machines. The product provides a purpose-built and complementary solution to traditional enterprise network security systems, to safeguard DNS-based malware and advanced persistent threats (APT). Its enhanced DNS query filtering capabilities, combined with dynamic threat intelligence feeds, allow for the quick identification of suspicious device activity, protecting malware infection and spread within a network, as well as phishing campaigns and data exfiltration attempts.

DIMA Warrior has been built to update its threat database very frequently. It’s an easy-to-use, easy to set up solution which enables you to start using our security solution with immediate effect. It is customizable and scalable with its simple architecture. With a minimum response time for faster internet access, it uses a lightweight database structure that gets updated every 60 minutes.
