Kwality Wall’s launches Golden Spoon, giving family dessert time a sweet twist
MUMBAI: Kwality Wall’s just gave the dessert aisle a shiny new scoop. On 4 April, the ice cream giant dropped a brand-new in-home dessert range called Golden Spoon—a name that’s all about indulging in family time with a spoonful of joy and a dollop of drama.
From two in one flavour mashups to a mithai-inspired showstopper, this isn’t your typical vanilla affair. With Indian households craving novelty and accessibility, Kwality Wall’s aims to scoop up a bigger slice of the frozen dessert market through this delightfully democratic offering.
Leading the line-up is Mithai Magic, a one-of-a-kind modern take on Indian sweets, complete with boondi (yes, you read that right). Rounding out the collection are the always-in-style Vanilla, and double-whammy combos like two in one Chocolate Vanilla and two in one Mango Vanilla—all served up in cosy family-size packs.
To top it all, Hindi cinema’s eternal charmer Kajol fronts the campaign with her signature flair. In the TVC, she’s mid-rant with her family until Golden Spoon enters the scene and shuts her up—literally. One spoon and she’s so stunned by the flavour, all she can do is savour.
“I personally love the Mithai Magic and the all-time classic two in one packs. This campaign captures the excitement I had when I tried Golden Spoon for the first time,” said Kajol.
“Our new brand Golden Spoon aims to nurture togetherness among Indian families and friends… With such new and exciting flavours, we hope to accelerate our journey of spreading happiness to everyone,” added HUL head of ice cream business Toloy Tanridagli.
DDB Mudra CCO Rahul Mathew who helped churn out the campaign, added, “Working with Kajol… inspired us to create a campaign that is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant.”
The launch is backed by a full-blown summer offensive-TV, influencer firepower, social content, and more—to ensure Golden Spoon isn’t just dessert; it’s dinner table drama.

Maharashtra panel orders Lodha to refund Rs 5 crore to homebuyers
Consumer court flags unfair practices in long-running property dispute case
MUMBAI: In a sharp rebuke to one of India’s biggest real estate players, the Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has directed Macrotech Developers to refund nearly Rs 5 crore to a senior citizen couple, Uttam and Anindita Chatterjee. The ruling, delivered on March 13, 2026, calls out the developer for “deficiency in service” and “unfair trade practices”, bringing closure to a dispute that has stretched over a decade.
The case traces back to 2015, when the couple booked a 3-BHK flat at World Towers in Lower Parel for Rs 12.22 crore, with possession promised within a year. What followed was a series of changes that complicated matters. After deciding to exit the project, they were persuaded to shift to a 4-BHK in another development priced at Rs 8 crore, with delivery scheduled for 2018. However, within months, the price was allegedly increased to Rs 10 crore. After demonetisation reshaped the market, similar flats were reportedly being offered at lower prices, but the couple were not given the benefit.
Despite paying over Rs 2.83 crore, the couple neither received possession nor clarity. Instead, in 2018, the developer unilaterally cancelled the booking, retained part of the amount as earnest money, and argued that the buyers were investors rather than consumers. The commission rejected this claim, observing that casual references to “investment” do not take away consumer rights when the purchase intent is residential.
The bench also held that the developer could not penalise buyers for payment delays while failing to meet its own delivery commitments. It noted the lack of formal documentation for revised terms and termed the prolonged retention of funds without delivering a home as exploitative.
As part of its order, the commission directed the developer to refund Rs 2.83 crore paid by the couple, along with interest at 10 per cent per annum, amounting to around Rs 2.12 crore. In addition, Rs 1 lakh has been awarded for mental agony and Rs 50,000 towards litigation costs, taking the total payout to over Rs 5 crore. The developer has been asked to comply within two months.
For now, the ruling serves as a reminder that in real estate, shifting terms and delayed promises can carry a significant cost.
