Nitin B.Shah, one of the renowned dairy and ice cream consultant proudly expresses his feeling and shares the same about his very dear client “Shankar Ice Cream Library.”
With the recent visit of US President Donald Trump and his family to India, Arun Samnani, Owner & Managing Director of Shankar Ice Cream Library received a phone call from Central Authority to supply something special and unique in ice cream for the occasion of Namaste Trump as there was a special request from Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) requesting to offer the best varieties of traditional ice creams only. The caterers serving the food opted to serve ice cream on the menu for the US President.
The selection to make recipes for ice cream rested on the shoulders of Nitin. The flavours and recipes were developed by him and manufactured in the factory of Ahmedabad’s Shankar Ice cream Library. Ice creams with special Jamun-Mango flavour and Tulsi Strawberry rated best amongst the 20 varieties set before the dignitaries.
There is a rigorous and stringent procedures to follow when certain things that are to be presented before the superior authorities. First the samples of ice creams were sent for approval and bacteria detection through meter testing. Later, the raw materials and ice cream samples were sent to FSSAI Lab for testing and getting health licenses and certificates from the lab. After receiving FSSAI license and other details the reports were sent for further approval. And lo!! It was a bingo hit from the authorities, Shankar Ice Cream Library won the trump card to set before Trump, Modi and other celebrities.
Immediately after approval, the wheels were set to rotate and within two days the ice cream was prepared. In a convoy with heavy police security and top protocol, the ice cream left for Motera Stadium, Ahmedabad with Bhagyesh Samnani (Director, Shankar Ice Cream Library) assisting the consignment. After reaching the venue the ice creams were further meter-checked by US security by inserting sensor rods to check toxic elements. All the cartons and containers were stamped ‘OKAY’ and nothing was rejected.
Along with the President Trump and his family, PM Modi, Saurav Ganguly, Anurag Thakur and other all leaders and celebrities enjoyed the ice cream treat very much.
“It is a moment of great joy and honour for us to be specially selected from the entire ice cream industry and are proud to gain a fame for Shankar Ice cream Library” replied Bhagyesh and Nitin in unison.
