It all began in 1956 at Giani-di-Hatti, nestled amidst the bazaars of Fatehpuri, Chandni Chowk. It was here that Giani Gurcharan Singh, my grandfather set up shop upon migrating to Delhi. He started serving his famous rabri-faluda and mango shakes, made with loving attention and dedication, with the best quality ingredients. This struck an instant chord with the discerning residents of the walled city and in no time at all, Giani (“the learned” in Punjabi), was a household name. A few years later in 1970, Giani Gurcharan Singh invited his eldest son Shri Gurbachan Singh, still an undergraduate, to join the business and augment the range of traditional desserts with ice cream flavours. The little enterprise’s success over the next three decades was a tribute to the business skills of my father Shri Gurbachan Singh. It was an era when MP’s and celebrities would visit the shop to taste and soak in the atmosphere. On the eve of the new millennium, the next generation at Giani Ice Cream decided to spread the family business further. Shri Gurbachan Singh”s son Taranjit Singh decided to continue in the family tradition and expanded the chain of franchise ice cream stores across NCR under the legacy name, Giani Ice Cream. Today, with over a hundred franchisee stores across India, Giani Ice Cream has managed to cut across age groups and find universal appeal among the ice cream lovers. Today Giani Ice Cream felicitously combines the nostalgia of Chandni Chowk’s traditional rabri-faluda, chilled mango shakes with the contemporary demand for real fruit and chocolate ice cream, a variety of sundaes, mousses, and shakes, as well as that for gelatos, frozen yogurts, ‘lite desserts’ and innovations like jamun sorbet for the health conscious.
