Dr. Kapoor, widely known as the Honeyman, could you share the story behind your ice cream venture?
The story behind our honey-based ice cream venture is one of passion, innovation, and a deep commitment to redefining the food and beverage industry. As a beekeeper, I’ve always been fascinated by the intricate process of honey production and the incredible flavors that different types of honey can offer. With a vision to provide healthier alternatives to products available in the market, I embarked on a journey to replace sugar and artificial sweeteners with the pure, natural goodness of honey in ice cream, shakes, and many other products available in groceries and supermarkets, such as jams, sauces, peanut butter, and more. Thus, the idea of the Honeyman ice cream venture was born, aiming to revolutionize the industry by offering indulgent treats that are not only delicious but also packed with the nutritional benefits of honey.
How do you envision honey-based ice cream benefiting your consumers?
Honey-based ice cream offers a myriad of benefits to our consumers, aligning perfectly with our mission to provide healthier alternatives. By replacing sugar and artificial sweeteners with honey, we’re able to offer a guilt-free indulgence that doesn’t compromise on taste. Honey brings with it a range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making our ice cream a nutritious choice for those seeking a satisfying treat. Moreover, honey’s natural antimicrobial properties contribute to better gut health, further enhancing the health benefits of our ice cream. With each scoop, consumers can enjoy the delicious taste of their favorite ice cream flavor while nourishing their bodies with wholesome ingredients.
What are your plans for expanding your presence in the ice cream sector?
Our plans for expanding our presence in the ice cream sector are ambitious yet rooted in our commitment to quality and sustainability. After receiving a commendable response and immense appreciation for offering healthier products and ice creams, Honeyman now looks forward to expanding its presence across India, taking the franchise route via the FOFO (Franchise Owned Franchise Operated) Model.
We intend to open over 50 outlets over the next 9 months across different formats via the FOFO Model and COCO Model. Through these outlets, we not only intend to sell ice creams, shakes, sundaes, and more, but also cross-sell our grocery/supermarket range of products such as different varieties of honey, honey-based jams, sauces, peanut butter, and more. We aim to collaborate with local beekeepers and artisanal honey producers to source the finest honey varieties for our ice creams, ensuring that each scoop is packed with flavor and goodness.
Besides, we’re exploring new flavor combinations and innovative production techniques to continuously delight our customers and stay ahead of the curve in the competitive ice cream market. We also aspire to become a global brand and eventually plan to expand our footprint worldwide.
