He did his bachelor’s in agricultural engineering from College of Technology and Engineering, Udaipur (CTAE). Sodhi joined the leading dairy giant in 1982 as senior sales officer.

Why Amul MD R.S. Sodhi stepped down (India Today)

I have my hands full,” says Sodhi, as he plans to remain associated with Indian farmers and the dairy industry.

I will remain associated with the Indian farmers and dairy industry as the president of Indian Dairy Association, which is a 75-year-old organisation. Sodhi says the two have worked together as a team for 32 years, and Mehta has the same value system and understanding of the dairy sector and farmers espoused by Dr Kurien. You are therefore directed to hand over the charge of MD to COO Jayen Mehta immediately,” the letter, signed by chairman Shamal Patel and vice-chairman Valamji Humbal, said. However, a strongly-worded terse letter from GCMMF to Sodhi asked him to relinquish the post immediately and hand over charge to chief operating officer (COO) Jayen Mehta. The board had told me to wait for some time, saying they will relieve me once they find a suitable replacement. Having completed two five-year terms as MD, Sodhi said he had sought to be relieved two years ago and was on an extension.
