Mangaluru-based Hangyo Ice Creams, one of South India’s Ice Cream brands, is ramping up operations to meet growing consumer demand across Karnataka, Kerala, and Goa. With a current production capacity of 1.25 lakh litres per day and an annual turnover of Rs 300 crores, the company is leveraging a legacy of innovation, regional leadership, and strategic expansion to strengthen its footprint in the Indian ice cream market.
Dinesh Pai, who has steered the company’s growth over the past three decades, remains at the helm as Executive Chairman. His hands-on leadership and forward-looking strategies have helped Hangyo stay ahead of evolving market trends. He continues to represent the brand at key international forums such as ANUGA in Germany and the World Ice Cream Expo in Italy, adopting global best practices for Indian consumers.
With strong distribution networks, consistent demand, and an expanding product portfolio, Hangyo is now looking to deepen its presence in Tier II and Tier III cities while continuing to invest in R&D and supply chain efficiencies.
“Our goal has always been to bring world-class dairy and ice cream products to Indian household while staying true to our roots and farmer-first philosophy,” said Pai. “We are committed to innovation, quality, and sustainable growth as we move into our next phase of expansion.”
