Group Overview

The Genesis

In 1944, a young professional, Satish Chona, started an ice cream shop, by the name of Havmor, in Karachi in 1944. Initially it began as a part time venture to supplement the family income. The subsequent three years saw it becoming a popular local brand. But in 1947, in the wake 
of the India-Pakistan partition, he was forced to leave everything behind and migrate 
to India. He tried setting up a new venture in couple of Indian cities- Dehradun and Indore but
then ultimately settled in Ahmedabad. Starting from scratch, Satish Chona began operations from a handcart at the Ahmedabad railway
station, churning out ice-cream manually. He called this fledgling brand HAVMOR- a short form
of Have More- promising the customers more value for money and more taste to relish. Achhai, Sachhai and Safai (Goodness, Purity/honesty and
hygiene) were the guiding values that endure to date.

Times Change, Values Endure

The late ’70s saw the second generation- Pradeep Chona- joining the business started by his father. By this time, Havmor had also established a name for itself in the restaurant and eatery business. It is credited with pioneering North Indian cuisine (Punjabi food) in Ahmedabad. An innovator with natural business instincts, Pradeep Chona has been instrumental in making Havmor one of India’s fastest growing ice cream brands. For the last four decades, he has been leading the company through changing times, tastes and trends.

He started a practice in late 80’s named “Flavours of the month
