Anant Ambani's Vantara has officially entered the dessert business and it's coming in hot (or rather, very cold) with a lineup that's equal parts nostalgic, bold, and unmistakably Indian.
Known primarily for its large-scale animal rescue and wildlife rehabilitation work in Jamnagar, Vantara has now expanded into the premium food space with the launch of Vantara Creamery. The brand debuted at Jio World Drive in Mumbai through a stylish, pastel-toned ice cream truck that instantly drew crowds, viral videos, and plenty of dessert-fuelled curiosity.
The Menu: 17 Flavours Across 4 Categories
Vantara Creamery isn't offering your standard soft-serve situation. The brand has curated a menu of 17 unique, nostalgia-inspired flavours, organised into four distinct categories rooted in Indian taste profiles and regional memories.

Vantara Creamery Pricing
Here is where things get talking. Vantara Creamery prices its luxury ice cream starting at Rs 750 per scoop, plus applicable taxes. Certain signature or more complex combinations within the lineup reportedly scale up closer to Rs 1,000. The pricing has already sparked a lively debate online, with some applauding the premium Indian positioning and others raising eyebrows at the cost of a single scoop.
What Makes It Worth the Price?
Premium Base Ingredient: The steep price tag reflects the use of pure A2 Gir cow milk, sourced directly from indigenous cattle rescued and housed at Vantara's wildlife rehabilitation facility in Jamnagar. This milk is widely regarded for its richer texture and easier digestibility compared to conventional dairy.
Artisanal Production: Every batch is handcrafted in small quantities using natural, premium ingredients. The brand is firm on one thing, zero added vegetable fats and zero artificial preservatives. That's a rare commitment in the ice cream industry.
A Story in Every Scoop: Beyond the ingredients, Vantara Creamery is selling a narrative. With Vantara operating as an animal welfare and rescue organisation from its 3,500-acre PM Modi-inaugurated facility since 2024, the sourcing of raw materials directly from the campus ties the product back to its roots in a way few food brands can claim.
The Verdict
At Rs 750 a scoop, Vantara Creamery is not competing with your neighbourhood parlour. It is going after the urban, premium dessert consumer who wants an experience, a story, and something they haven't tasted before. Whether it's the Jalebi Crunch that gets you or the Guava Chilli that dares you, the menu alone makes a strong case for at least one visit.
The question is simple. Is one scoop worth Rs 750? Based on the buzz, a lot of Mumbaikars seem to think so.
