His founder searching for a new turf , tried out Dehra Dun & Indore and finally settled down in Ahmedabad.
With small beginning ,Big vision and Great ambitions, Mr. Satish Chona had began the journey in Ahmedabad , with a hand-cart at the Ahmedabad Railway Station, churning out the Ice cream manually. He called this fledgling brand „HAVMOR? – a neologism for „Have More? – which meant the customer got more value for money and more taste to relish from his ice creams. With the blessings of his father( Late.Mr.Satish Chona),his son Mr. Pradeep Chona continued the journey of his father and now has changed the face of Havmor Ice cream Ltd. as one of the most favorite ice cream brand of western India and today it has been positioned among the Top Three in sales in Gujarat.

Marketing in this competitive world plays a very important role because without it no one can imagine or predict about the product demand and its supply for managing business activities very perfectly and for attaining the organizational goal marketing is very important.

Selling is only the tip of marketing iceberg. Peter Drucker, a leading management theorist, puts it this way: “There will always, one can assume, be need for some selling. But the aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous. The aim of Marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sells itself. Ideally, marketing should result in a customer who is ready to buy. All that should be needed them is to make the product or service available.”

His founder searching for a new turf , tried out Dehra Dun & Indore and finally settled down in Ahmedabad.
With small beginning ,Big vision and Great ambitions, Mr. Satish Chona had began the journey in Ahmedabad , with a hand-cart at the Ahmedabad Railway Station, churning out the Ice cream manually. He called this fledgling brand „HAVMOR? – a neologism for „Have More? – which meant the customer got more value for money and more taste to relish from his ice creams. With the blessings of his father( Late.Mr.Satish Chona),his son Mr. Pradeep Chona continued the journey of his father and now has changed the face of Havmor Ice cream Ltd. as one of the most favorite ice cream brand of western India and today it has been positioned among the Top Three in sales in Gujarat.

Selling is only the tip of marketing iceberg. Peter Drucker, a leading management theorist, puts it this way: “There will always, one can assume, be need for some selling. But the aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous. The aim of Marketing is to know and understand the customer so well that the product or service fits him and sells itself. Ideally, marketing should result in a customer who is ready to buy. All that should be needed them is to make the product or service available.”
