India, January 16, 2026: Bombay Kulfi Ice Creams, one of India’s most recognised traditional Kulfi and Ice Cream brands, has announced a strategic partnership to expand its footprint across Bengaluru. The expansion will be led by founder Manish Kankaria in collaboration with Mohammed Mustaqeem, Founder of Delight Hospitality and Master Franchise Partner for the city.
This partnership marks an important milestone in Bombay Kulfi’s growth journey, positioning Bengaluru as a key market in the brand’s next phase of structured, franchise-led expansion.
Reviving the Taste of “Asli Kulfi” Since 2015
Founded in 2015, Bombay Kulfi Ice Creams was born out of a clear vision, to revive the authentic taste of traditional Indian kulfi at a time when authentic kulfi and ice creams were becoming increasingly artificial. Inspired by Mumbai’s street-side kulfi culture, Manish Kankaria built the brand around purity, nostalgia, and consistency.
Made using pure A2 milk, natural fruits, and real flavours, Bombay Kulfi has earned a loyal customer base across India. Over the years, the brand has expanded its product portfolio to include classic flavours like Malai, Kesar Pista, Mango, and Paan, along with modern innovations such as Choco Chip, Salted Caramel, faloodas, milkshakes, sundaes, sorbet chuskis, and inclusive vegan and sugar-free options.
This blend of tradition and innovation has helped Bombay Kulfi establish itself as the pioneer of “Asli Kulfi” in India.
National Recognition and Proven Scalability
Bombay Kulfi’s journey has been backed by strong national recognition and widespread media visibility. The brand has been featured by leading publications including BBC, The Hindu, The Times of India, The New Indian Express, and The Telegraph for its unique approach to modernising a traditional dessert.
With over 60 stores across India and Singapore, Bombay Kulfi has demonstrated its ability to scale while maintaining quality and consistency. High consumer trust that is reflected in tens of thousands of positive customer reviews, has further strengthened the brand’s reputation as a reliable and loved dessert destination.
Strategic Bengaluru Expansion with Strong Local Leadership
The Bengaluru expansion is being spearheaded by Mohammed Mustaqeem, who brings deep operational and market expertise to the partnership. As the founder of Delight Hospitality, Mustaqeem successfully scaled airport-focused hotels in Bengaluru from a single property to multiple operational units within two years.
Recognising Bombay Kulfi’s strong brand equity and scalable franchise model, he acquired the Master Franchise Rights for Bengaluru with the vision of building a city-wide network through flagship outlets and sub-franchise partnerships.
A Compelling Opportunity for Franchise Partners
The Bengaluru rollout highlights Bombay Kulfi Ice Creams as a trusted and attractive franchise opportunity. The brand offers end-to-end franchise support, including store setup, training, marketing, operations, and technology systems, along with fast payback potential and attractive margins.
As Bombay Kulfi begins this next phase of growth in Bengaluru, the partnership brings together brand authenticity, operational discipline, and local execution excellence, setting the foundation for long-term success while continuing to delight consumers with the timeless taste of real kulfi.
