Bruno’s Pizzeria fires up Gurgaon’s food scene
MUMBAI: Hot news straight out of the oven! Bruno’s Pizzeria has officially landed in India, and it’s serving up more than just slices. The premium pizza brand has opened its first outlet in Gurgaon, blending authentic Naples-style sourdough with a youthful, flavour-packed attitude.
Founded by Neelam Singh, the mind behind The Burger Company, Bruno’s is built on a simple philosophy, great pizza should be effortless yet extraordinary. Each dough goes through a 48-hour fermentation, sauces are preservative-free, and everything is made in-house for that perfect bite every time.
The menu is an ode to indulgence, think truffle-drizzled pies, hot honey hits, bomb garlic bread, and bold pastas paired with desserts, specialty coffee, and ceremonial matcha. Limited-edition drops like cheesy AF week and fun merch (This pizza slaps) add a playful twist to the brand’s community-driven vibe.
“Gurgaon was the natural choice, it mirrors the energy and ambition of the new India,” said founder and CEO Neelam Singh. “Bruno’s isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a space where flavour meets friendship and every meal feels like a moment worth remembering.”
Currently focusing on dine-in experiences, Bruno’s plans to open over 10 stores across Delhi NCR this fiscal year, with eyes on Mumbai, Bangalore, and Pune next. Located at Galleria Market in DLF Phase 4, Bruno’s isn’t just serving pizza, it’s serving a whole new way to hang out, laugh loud, and live a little tastier.

Magnum Ice Cream Netherlands takes control of Kwality Wall’s India from Unilever
61.9 per cent stake transfer reshapes ownership as Unilever exits promoter role
MUMBAI: Kwality Wall’s (India) Limited has entered a new chapter, with The Magnum Ice Cream Company HoldCo 1 Netherlands B.V. acquiring a controlling 61.9 per cent stake from a clutch of Unilever PLC-led entities, marking a significant shift in ownership.
The transaction, completed on March 30, 2026, follows a share purchase agreement signed in June 2025. The incoming promoter picked up over 145 crore equity shares, effectively taking control of the company and being formally classified as its new promoter under regulatory norms.
As part of the deal, the outgoing promoter group, including Unilever Group Limited and its affiliated entities, has fully exited its shareholding in the company. They have now been reclassified from promoter to public shareholders, closing a long-standing association with the ice cream business in India.
The board of Kwality Wall’s (India) Limited took note of the ownership change and approved a series of leadership updates alongside it. Ritesh Tiwari stepped down as director, while Abhijit Bhattacharya was appointed as chairperson and additional non-executive director. Tahir Toloy Tanridagli also joined the board as an additional non-executive director.
The reshuffle signals a broader strategic reset as the Magnum-led entity looks to steer the brand’s next phase of growth in India. The transition has been carried out in line with regulatory requirements, including disclosures tied to the open offer and reclassification norms under market regulations.
With Unilever stepping back and Magnum stepping in, Kwality Wall’s India is effectively getting a fresh scoop of leadership and direction. The coming months will reveal how the new promoter plans to scale the brand in one of the world’s most competitive ice cream markets.
