“We are extremely excited to be back to serving our customers, who have loved our innovative ice-creams since 2008, including products like Pabrai’s Nalen Gur ice cream which is our own invention! Few of our stores in some cities had to shut down during the pandemic because rental concessions were not given by landlords in these cities. After two years, we are happy to be back to sweeten our customers’ summers with our new and existing range of products,” says Anuvrat Pabrai, the head of Pabrai’s Fresh & Naturelle ice creams and Vice President of Indian Ice Cream Manufacturers Association (IICMA) – the apex body of ice cream manufacturers in India.

Pabrai’s fruit range is made of 100% natural ingredients with no artificial colours and no artificial flavours. Since makers do not use canned fruits, our fruit ice creams are seasonal. Its summer special ice creams include Alphonso Mango, Jamun, Leechee, Himsagar Mango Watermelon, Musk melon among others.
The non-fruit flavours are made from only high-grade natural ingredients. For instance, the Vanilla ice cream is made from high quality Vanilla pods, while the Chocolate ice cream is made from the highest grade of naturally processed Cocoa.
Pabrai’s Sugar-free ice creams are made from prebiotic fourth generation sweeteners which are made from plant sources and leave no lingering after-taste. Pabrai’s plan to introduce newer flavours in Sugar Free range shortly.
