Vadilal Industries Private Limited

Vadilal was set up when ice cream wasn't even an industry. From selling sodas in 1907 Vadilal has travelled through four generations of Gandhis. Initially the founder Vadilal Gandhi used to make ice cream by the traditional Kothi method using a hand-operated machine to churn milk with other ingredients ice and salt. Home delivery was also offered back then with ice creams packed in thermocol boxes. Vadilal Gandhi who started the soda fountainpassed on the business to his son Ranchod Lal Gandhi who ran a one-man operation and with a hand cranked machine started a small retail outlet in 1926.
