From Failure to a ₹200 Crore Ice Cream Brand | Gaurav Khemani | Changemakers of Bharat | Ep 4
What does it take to rebuild a business from the brink of collapse and turn it into a ₹200-crore company? In the fourth episode of Changemakers of Bharat, partnered with the @ASCENTFoundation, we explore the journey of Gaurav Khemani, CEO of Kolkata-based ice cream brand Rollick. From witnessing his family’s business bankruptcy as a child to building a career in the UK and taking a leap of faith into entrepreneurship, Gaurav’s journey has been shaped by risk, resilience and the willingness to start over.
In 2015, he took over a stagnant business with a turnover of around ₹20 crore and grew it nearly fourfold in four years. But just as the company was finding its stride, the COVID-19 pandemic brought sales to a standstill, putting the business and hundreds of livelihoods at risk. The crisis forced him to rethink his strategy, focus on his core business and recognise the importance of mentorship, trusted peer networks and a strong team.
Today, Rollick has crossed ₹200 crore in revenue, with Gaurav focused on building an organisation that can thrive for generations. In this episode of Changemakers of Bharat, he reflects on business failures, bold decisions, leadership and the lessons that helped him rebuild, grow and look beyond the next milestone.
