March of 2024 was a month dedicated to the grandeur of the Ambani family. The world watched in awe as Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding bash unfolded, hosted by Asia’s wealthiest man, Mukesh Ambani, in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The three-day extravaganza witnessed a gathering of not only Indian celebrities but also global business magnates, including the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates.
Amidst the opulent festivities, the arrangements surpassed expectations, with a meticulous selection of dishes and recipes showcased throughout. Among the spotlighted culinary delights were approximately 2,500 dishes featuring contributions from various homegrown brands.
One brand, in particular, stole the limelight – Shankar Ice Cream from Ahmedabad. Selected to present their finest ice cream flavors, Shankar Ice Cream has been a household name in Ahmedabad since 1960. Spearheading the company is Bhagyesh Samnani, serving as the Director, and carrying on the legacy established by his grandfather, Gopilal Samnani, in Law Garden, Ahmedabad.
Under Bhagyesh’s leadership, Shankar Ice Cream has flourished, with a keen focus on innovation and quality. In 2017, he introduced Shankar’s Ice Cream Library, a unique ice cream shop in Ahmedabad offering an extensive array of flavors. From Black Jamun to Jamun-Mango Mix, Watermelon to Mixed Berries, the menu boasts over 1300 distinctive flavors crafted with a diverse range of ingredients including flowers, nuts, chocolates, and fruits.
