Twisting Scoops: Shark Tank India Season 2

Twisting Scoops, the largest and first Turkish ice cream chain in Asia, made a sizzling appearance on Shark Tank India. The charismatic duo of Kunwarpreet Singh Juneja and Manmeet Singh Batra, founders of the company, took to the stage to pitch their brand to the sharks.

The two school friends, who were previously involved in the textile industry, stumbled upon the idea for Twisting Scoops during a vacation to Turkey. They were so enamored by the Turkish ice cream that they decided to bring it to India. Thus, Twisting Scoops was born in 2016.

Twisting Scoops prides itself on using 100% goat milk, which is chemical-free and combined with authentic Turkish ingredients. The ice cream is handcrafted by professionals from Turkey. In addition to their Turkish ice cream, Twisting Scoops also offers a range of Middle Eastern and Turkish treats, such as Baklavas, Kunafa, and Turkish coffee. They also serve falafel, making their stores a one-stop-shop for all things Middle Eastern.

With 37+ stores across 15+ cities in India, Twisting Scoops has made quite an impact in the market. Their stores come in three formats: kiosks, stores, and carts. The kiosks range from 100 to 200 sq. feet, while the stores are between 200 to 300 sq. feet. The carts are located at airports, allowing travelers to indulge in Twisting Scoops' delicious treats before boarding their flights. Of their 45+ flavors, the average price of one scoop of ice cream is 79 rupees + GST.

The founders have 240 professionals working for them, and they have a manufacturing plant located in Delhi. They have partnered with Air India Cargo, which ensures that all their outlets receive stock within 72 hours from the Delhi plant. They are currently bootstrapped and have been profitable from day one.
