Vadilal

Vadilal House, Ahmedabad

In 1907, Vadilal made its first ice cream using a hand-cranked machine called a kothi. Later, in 1926, Vadilal introduced its parlors and started offering home delivery. As time passed, the brand became more and more popular, and by the end of 1985, it had established a strong market presence across the country.

Vadilal produces ice cream in a variety of forms, including cones, candies, bars, ice-lollies, cups, family packs, and economy packs, with numerous flavor options. Along with being available at supermarkets, Vadilal also has a retail presence via its franchise-based Happinnezz ice-cream parlors. It's worth noting that all Vadilal products are vegetarian and free of eggs.[3]

In the 1990s, Vadilal diversified its business by entering the processed foods industry, utilizing its well-established cold chain network. In addition to its traditional ice cream business, the company now serves both domestic and export markets with a range of products, including frozen vegetables, ready-to-eat snacks, curries, and breads.
