It now boasts a presence in over 290 cities, with its packaged consumer goods and B2B channels, think hotels, multiplexes and restaurants expanding alongside its iconic parlours.
With double-digit growth projected for FY26, the Italian gelato launch is yet another cherry on top of Baskin Robbins’ dessert empire. Prices for the new range start at Rs 115, and the flavours are already scooping up attention across outlets nationwide.
