This poster by Eugène Burnand depicts cows grazing peacefully in Switzerland's picturesque mountainous countryside. In 1905, the Anglo-Swiss and Nestlé companies merged to form the Nestlé & Anglo-Swiss Milk Company, with offices in Vevey, Cham, and later London to drive exports. Exports to India began in 1906, marking the start of Nestlé's long relationship with the country.
By 1912, Nestlé operated in India as The Nestlé Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company, importing and selling products. After independence in 1947, Nestlé aligned with India's economic goals, establishing a local company and opening its first factory in Moga, Punjab, in 1961. The Moga facility also introduced agricultural services to support and educate local farmers, fostering growth in the region's milk economy.
