Hello Sai,

By default, the mm in Kendo UI DatePicker's format stands for minute and MM stands for month as seen in this Date Parsing article in our Github page.

In order to show mm/dd/yyyy in the placeholder of the DatePicker where mm stands for month, set the formatPlaceholder to a custom-format placeholder. For example:

<kendo-datepicker 
  format="MM/dd/yyyy" 
  [formatPlaceholder]="customFormatPlaceholder"
>
</kendo-datepicker>

public customFormatPlaceholder: DateInputCustomFormatPlaceholder = { 
  year: 'yyyy', 
  month: 'mm', 
  day: 'dd', 
  hour: 'hh', 
  minute: 'MM', 
  second: 'ss', 
  millisecond: 'SSS' 
}

Output:

  

Please take a look at this StackBlitz example where I have set a custom placeholder in the Kendo UI DatePicker.

Let me know if this helps or if I can further assist you.
