With no reliance on preservatives, fake enhancing, hues or synthetic compounds, Ajay Nesargi has been switching things around in the ice-cream industry with just regular items. The coder-turned-gelato-pundit has been surprising the nation with his regular ice-creams.
Everything started ten years prior after his first tryst with gelato in Milan during a work trip. At the point when he returned, he asked his wife, who is an engineer herself, about fiddling into the food business. She thought he was insane, thus did his parents. A specialist coder and a confirmed project manager, who had worked with IBM in the USA and later India, with no foundation in the F&B business, considered surrendering his high paying job to make gelato!
Today, he has three outlets in Mysuru, is a supported advisor for some specialty lodgings in Bengaluru, and is arranging two additional outlets in Pune and Mumbai with top stacking ice-cream creators imported from Italy. The Better India connected with him to account his unfathomable excursion.
He opened his first store in Mysuru in 2007. He requested that his wife let him explore different avenues regarding it for a long time. In the event that he didn’t make it toward the finish of that period, he would stop this thought. However, it wasn’t until 2011 that he quit his job at IBM. “In the wake of quiting IBM, I didn’t rest for a month. Thus, when I was told about the dire necessity for a Project Manager in the UK, I promptly concurred. That excursion was a defining moment in my life.” It was around 2 am UK time when he got a call from India. It originated from a reasonable specialist who was a regular customer at his ice cream store, uninformed that Ajay was in the UK. “He revealed to me that one of my ice cream flavours was not sufficient. It upset me so much that I wrapped up the UK venture within a week and returned. It was then that I understood that I expected to seek after my enthusiasm full-time.” At the point when he began investigating about the parts used to make gelato, he showed up at the nourishment part of it which changed his viewpoint.
He shares, “Did you realize that India utilizes sugar E471 that is restricted in the USA and Europe? No one in India thinks about it. It is in effect wildly utilized in the food business, normally ice creams use it. Many are uninformed that the ice-creams they eat don’t contain even a drop of milk! Presently, most ice-cream makers ordinarily utilize vegetable oil/palm oil, skimmed milk powder, stabilizers, prompt it with substantial air and utilize artificial seasoning.” He includes how the regular customer devours these treats without the information that they are expending on a lot of synthetic substances. “Thus, you get an irritated throat, not on the grounds that it is cold but since it is loaded with synthetic substances. Very few make a genuine gelato,” he says.
He shares, “I am intending to fan out into a specialty showcase with my up and coming endeavour, HANI (Healthy and Natural Ice-Creams), which will have one such machine. It will come up in Vasai, Mumbai. I think it is an adaptable model and my vision is to take it across India. “A portion of the other famous flavours that are a hit among clients are vegan almond (made uniquely of almond), muskmelon, cucumber, kiwi, chikoo, Indian berries and lemon.
In his message to people who are surrendering stable employments to follow their passion, he says, “It is a long battle. It begins directly from the time you need to be an engineer, and your parents need you to be a doctor. They aren’t wrong, nor are we. It is only a balancing act. “In the event that you need to seek after something energetically, do it. Try not to fear failure. Failure comes when you have made the best decision wrong. Fear is the most noticeably terrible thing to have. What is the most exceedingly terrible thing that can transpire? You may fall. Be that as it may, as long as you are alive, why not get up and begin running once more?” he closes down.
