Our Heritage of Spreading Happiness

For over 100 years, Vadilal has been bringing the delightful experience of Vadilal Ice Creams to people across the world. This has been made possible by the deft blending of tradition and innovation in every offering.

And the Vadilal name is fast becoming a synonym for the world`s most preferred Indian treat.

About Vadilal Group

From a single Soda Fountain to a Global Company

Way back in 1907, when Ice Cream was not even an industry in India, Mr Vadilal Gandhi started a small soda fountain in Ahmedabad. Driven by his vision of spreading happiness, Mr Gandhi began making Ice Cream using the traditional 'Kothi' method and delivering his products to his customers' doorsteps.

In 1926, after Mr Gandhi`s sons joined in, they started the country`s first Ice Cream Parlour. By 1947, there were 4 Vadilal parlours and India fell in love with the brand`s famous Cassata Ice Cream.

Today, the one man soda fountain has evolved as one of the leading Ice Cream brands of India under the fourth generation of the Vadilal family. With every generation, adding fresh ideas to cater to changing markets, the Company now straddles both Indian and International markets. What remains unchanged is the commitment to spreading happiness with which Mr Vadilal Gandhi started out long ago.
