In December 2019, Aakanksha Devanshu Gandhi, President of Branding and New Business Development at Vadilal lce Creams, reviewed a revealing brand health survey report, the company’s first in more than a century. Despite strong awareness, the brand’s appeal among younger consumers had declined; the brand appeared outdated and did not generate excitement among youth. The case traces Vadilal’s growth from a soda fountain in 1907 to a leading frozen-dessert brand, while examining India’s evolving ice cream market. It highlights challenges faced by legacy brands when adapting to rapidly changing youth-driven industries and invites strategic reflection on balancing heritage with modernity to maintain relevance and competitiveness in a dynamic consumer landscape.
