In the midst of demonetisation, budget ups and downs, the dairy industry going through crunches in milk supplies and many other issues, we, at Prabhat Dairy want our readers to just relax this summer and experience the brain freeze.
The white backdrop split open. All eyes were staring at the split doors. It revealed something in pink behind. The audience wonder-struck. The music was on. The whistles blew. The flashing lights were just all over. And voila! VOLUP – Prabhat Dairy’s newest brand emerged at the centre.
The Volup launch took place on 17th March, 2017 at Nashik, The Gateway – Taj Hotel. Esteemed distributors from various locations - Nandurbar, Dhule, Jalgaon, Nashik, Aurangabad and Ahmednagar were invited. They were excited to experience Volup from India’s fastest growing, home grown integrated milk and dairy products company Prabhat Dairy Limited. The product will be available in the market under the brand ‘Volup’, which will have a premium range of real milk based ice creams.
Prabhat Dairy is planning a regional presence for its ice cream products by next year. The management is confident on capturing the local market which will provide them major insights to the customer preference and an established platform to spread across rest of the state.
COVER STORY
The Latest Volup Launch. 100% Rich. 100% True.
The Volup menu offers a range of unique flavours blended in real
milk ice cream. Some of the products on the offer are Sinsane Chocolate Bars
and Sinsane Sticks, Crunchies, Drippers, Fruit Crush, Kulfis etc. The menu also offers tubs, party packs and cups in number of fruit and milk based flavours.
Mr. Vivek Nirmal Joint Managing Director of Prabhat Dairy Limited
“Ice cream has been an important part of our business portfolio and we are thrilled to introduce it directly to our customers. Nashik region has an
interesting customer base and we are proud to offer our high quality range of real milk based ice creams which will give us an in-depth understanding of the consumer choice. Under the Volup brand, we are entering into an exponential segment with high potential for growth in the long term. Our foray into this
vibrant product segment will provide us another milestone to achieve for Prabhat Dairy and keep up our tradition to deliver high quality products.”
Mr. Nilesh Jategaonkar Distributor – Nashik
Prabhat Dairy an already leading commercial supplier of ice creams to some of the major brands in India under Prabhat Dairy Limited, has taken a very good decision to enter the retail market with a unique range of ice creams
under its own brand. This is a great news for us. After tasting the milk based ice cream we are
sure it will pick up sale in the market.
Mr. Naresh Ahuja Distributor – Aurangabad
Although this segment faces a heavy competition from frozen desserts, the Company is confident that real milk ice cream will always be in demand as a
natural, healthier and better option. Real milk based ice creams always have low fat content as compared to frozen desserts, which are primarily made from
vegetable fat. With growing awareness on the basic difference between ice creams and frozen desserts, customers have started realising the importance of ingredients in the products that they consume on
regular basis. Taking all this into consideration I feel confident
of this product.
