The journey of Kesava Cool Drinks began with Sri Papineni Satyanarayana Garu, a visionary who started his career in 1971 by selling betel leaves and lemons. With a passion to create something unique, he introduced Badam Milk in 1972. A drink that was new to Bapatla at the time

Over the next 20 years, the rich and authentic taste of his Badam Milk became deeply loved by the local community. One of the things that made it truly special was the way it was served, loaded with cashews, giving it a rich, satisfying feel and a unique identity.

It was not just a drink. It became a tradition. To this day, Kesava Cool Drinks remains the only place in Bapatla known for this signature flavor. The business was officially registered on 12th May 1973, and for over three decades, Sri Satyanarayana Garu led it with dedication and honesty, until 2008.

After 2008, his two sons, Sri Papineni Radha Krishna Garu and Sri Papineni Naga Devi Prasad Garu, carried forward the legacy. Today, the business continues to serve the same timeless taste, now fondly known across the region as "Bapatla Badam Milk." What began as a small dream has now become a lasting symbol of authenticity, tradition, signature taste, and trust.
