10. INTRODUCTION
HISTORY OF ICE CREAM
Ice Cream is the most famous delicacy all over the world. People of
all ages love ice cream and frequently enjoy it.
Here are some amazing facts about ice cream:
• Nero (37-68 A.D.), The Roman Emperor, is said to have eaten a
sort of water-ice.
• The Chinese claim that they have been making and consuming
Ice Cream since ages.
• Supposedly, Marco Polo (1254 – 1324) carried the Chinese Ice
Cream recipes back with him to Venice.
• These were then introduced to the French by Italian chefs
retinue of Catherine de¢ Medici when she married Henri II of
France.
• Royal Ice Cellars were built in Mesopotamia in around 2000
B.C.
• These were used to cool wines and foods
• During the late 1600s, The French King Louis XIV was known
to have feasts with colored water-ice and liqueurs.
10
11. • Nicholas Lemery’s Recueil de curiositéz rares et nouvelles de
plus admirables effets de la nature, published in 1674, contained
the first recipe for flavored ices.
• The Quaker colonists who brought their ice cream recipes with
them introduced ice cream to the United States.
• It is said that Ice Cream was regularly consumed by Ben
Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.
• During the eighteenth century, the spread of ice pails and
cookery books with ice recipes, almost everywhere around the
globe, resulted in the delicacy becoming more common.
• Robert Green, in 1874, is supposed to have invented the Ice
Cream Soda, which took ice cream consumption in America and
other parts of the world to great heights.
• The twentieth century saw an explosion of sorts in the
popularity of ice cream owing to availability of cheap
refrigeration.
• Italian confectioners made Gelato, their own form of Ice Cream,
which became immensely famous due its texture and lightness.
• During the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904, cones were used for
the first time to serve Ice Cream.
• A chemical research team in Britain came up with the soft ice
cream, which had more air in it. It became immensely popular
because of its creamy yet light texture. Today, it is popularly
known as the ‘Softy’ ice cream.
• In the 1980s, the older, thicker ice creams made a comeback and
were referred to as ‘Premium’ Ice Creams.
Basically the ice-cream business comes under FMCG sector. In
India, the condition of FMCG sector is very well and challenging.
India is an important market for FMCG players. The Indian FMCG
sector is the fourth largest sector in the economy with a total market
size of around US$ 18.1 bn.
11
12. Ice-Cream segment of FMCG:-
Ice-cream is one of the most important part of FMCG sector. It comes
under Food and Beverage segment. The total market value of Ice-
cream trade in India is more than Rs.20000 crore. It is increasing day
per day. During the year of 2002-02, there was very little demand of
Ice-cream in India but as the time passed away, the demand of Ice-
cream is also increasing in India. Now a day, there are six national
level companies engaged in dealing with Ice-cream including two
MNCs. The demand of Ice-cream is also increases in India.
As the demand of Ice-cream is increasing in India but the market of
Ice-cream is not as much as it’s share in US and some other foreign
countries. According to the survey of Motilal Oshwal, in the present
time, the per capita consumption of Ice-cream in India is US $0.2
which is US $49 in USA and US $33 in Germany. We can see it in
the following table:-
12
13. TABLE 1:- PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION OF ICE-CREAM
(IN US $):-
As given in the above table, the per capita consumption of Ice-cream
in India is only US $0.2 which is much smaller than the same in USA,
but the main thing is the increasing opportunities for Ice-cream trade.
13
14. MAJOR FACTORS:-
1. The broad market of semi urban market.
2. Least no. of competition.
3. Increase in consumption level of people.
4. Favorable climate for ice-cream in India.
5. GDP growth and growth in per capita income.
14
15. We can get all the datas regarding the per capita incoma of India
from the following table:-
TABLE 2:- PER CAPITA INCOME OF INDIA SINCE 2000
As given in the table, the GDP of India is increasing in the last 5
years. It has brought a remarkable change in the spending habits of
consumers; it has moved the consumer’s preferences from economic
to premium products. In those days, people unhasitantly wants to
spend money on good and quality products. It has been a gain for
food and beverage industry. As the result the ice cream industry is
also improving and it develops at an increasing rate.
THE THREE STAGES IN CONSUMPTION PROCESS OF ICE-
CREAM
Pre-purchase:- Brand image, Health issues, suitability
Brand image of the ice cream - The consumer considers the kind of
image the brand that he is going to purchase depicts. It has to suit
15
16. certain status symbol, quality and any other personal brand
requirements that the consumer may have. It is important that the
brand maintains good will, satisfactory to the consumer
Health Issue to ice creams relating-The modern consumer is highly
health conscious and is becoming aware of the rising health issues and
its impacts. It is important that the brand satisfies this need of the
consumers and ensures health related gains rather than loss. About
which we will be discussing further in this report.
Suitability – The product should suit the taste, flavor and ingredients
that is in line with the consumer needs and wants.
Purchase:-Price, Environment, Service
Price of ice cream -Price should be affordable and the product should
provide money’s worth in terms of quality, quantity and consumer
satisfaction. as kids also form a main segment of our section a proper
care should be given as far as pricing is concerned.
Environment-The environment should be such that the consumer
wants to stay there and spent some quality and quantity time.
Service- The service should be fast so that the customer waiting time
should be less and leads to their satisfaction and results in formation
of good brand image.
Post-purchase:- Quality, Satisfaction, Store experience
Quality of ice cream – the quality of the ice cream delivered certainly
plays a vital role in determining whether the customer will re
purchase the brand or not. The quality and taste of ice cream
determines the satisfaction level of the customer and hence plays a
vital role in determining his approach towards the product.
Satisfaction from ice cream- well satisfaction is a holistic picture the
total experience of the customer with the brand considering various
factors as mentioned above and then finally arriving at a conclusion
saying whether he is satisfied or not from the product.

Vadilal Industries has come a long way since its inception in 1907,
when Vadilal Gandhi, the great-grand father of Virendra R. Gandhi,
Rajesh R. Gandhi and Devanshu L. Gandhi, started a soda fountain.
He passed on the business to his son, Ranchod Lal, who ran a one-
man operation, and, with a hand cranked machine, started a small
retail outlet in 1926. Eventually, Ranchod Lal's sons, Ramchandra
and Lakshman, inherited the business and they were instrumental in
giving a new direction to the company. The duo imparted a new
vision to the venture and infused a spirit of calculated risk-taking
into the firm. As a result, by the 1970s, the Vadilal Company had
19

22. Today, the name Vadilal conjures images of lip-smacking ice cream
in a whole gamut of flavours. Vadilal spells quality, availability,
variety and state-of-the-art machinery and equipment. It has, however,
been a long journey for the group, which traces its origins way back
to 1907, when a certain unassuming gentleman, by the name of
Vadilal Gandhi, the great-grand father of Virendra R Gandhi, Rajesh
R Gandhi and Devanshu L Gandhi, started a soda fountain. He passed
on the business to his son, Ranchod Lal, who ran a one-man show,
and, with a hand cranked machine, started a small retail outlet in
1926. Eventually, Ranchod Lal's sons, Ramchandra and Lakshman,
inherited the business and they were instrumental in giving a new
direction to the company. The duo imparted a new vision to the
venture and infused a spirit of calculated risk-taking into the
company. As a result, by the 1970s, the Vadilal Company had
already evolved into a modern corporate entity.
"In 1972-73, the company had 8-10 outlets in Ahmedabad. Gradually,
we moved from the city to other parts of Gujarat. By 1985, the
company moved towards neighbouring states like Rajasthan and
Madhya Pradesh. But the expansion was undertaken very
methodically and we spent five to six years in spreading our business
and then consolidating it" says Shri Ramchandrabhai Gandhi
(Chairman).
Today, VADILAL is not just a brand – it is the ice-cream associated
with the Indian summer; it’s the first choice in ice-cream for any child
or adult during the scorching Indian summers. VADILAL ice-creams
are trusted not only for their rich, creamy flavours, but also for their
trusted quality and nutritious food value.
