The Sweet Legacy
It all began with the foundation of Tulika’s Ice cream Pvt. Ltd in 1985 which grew into a prominent mass market brand in Eastern India.
But during the year 2007, the brand was facing a shut down due to labour issues coupled with stiff competition from other emerging brands in the market. With family business facing losses, Kunal Pabrai left his job in Bangalore and mulled over starting afresh.
In 2008, Knowing nothing else, but to make ice cream, the Pabrais took over a small factory in Kolkata and combined their technical expertise in crafting the creamiest ice creams with their knowledge of food to make artisanal ice creams using the finest ingredients sourced from around the world. Born out of this ethos was Pabrai’s Fresh & Naturelle Ice Creams, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Signature & Niche Products
Pabrai’s Fresh & Naturelle Ice Cream took natural ice cream making to a whole new level with its key focus on the ingredient and a keen desire to delight the Indian palette and the company strives to go that extra mile to source their raw materials from the best producers in the world.
Pabrai’s Ice Creams have a unique taste which ensures loyal & repeat customers. The brand prepares 100% natural ice-creams of various flavours. These includes regular flavours such as vanilla, chocolate etc and some exotic & extraordinary flavours like orange vanilla, wasabi, Sitaphal, Paan etc. The signature product of the company is Pabrai’s Nalen Gur Ice cream which was invented by them and was Hillary Clinton’s favourite during her visit in 2012.
After transforming the ice-cream industry, Pabrai’s have introduces a new range of Milk Shakes & Thick Shakes made from 100% natural ingredients.
Kunal Pabrai, Partner, Pabrai’s Fresh & Naturelle Ice Creams, said, “Our vision is to be the world’s best, 100% natural ice cream maker; giving our customers a wow experience every time and with every flavour.”
Franchising the “natural” success
