Ankit Chona relaunched his family ice cream legacy as HOCCO, beginning commercial operations in October 2023 after selling Havmor in 2017 and finishing a non-compete. The brand rapidly scaled manufacturing from 10,000 litres/day to 250,000 litres/day by February 2026, raised over $30 million with valuations rising to roughly ₹2,000 Cr, and projects FY26 revenues above ₹500 Cr and FY27 targets of ₹700–800 Cr.
Key Points
- 1Scaled manufacturing from 10,000 to 250,000 litres per day between Oct 2023 and Feb 2026
- 2Secured over $30M funding, including ₹115 Cr in Sept 2025, lifting valuation to about ₹2,000 Cr
- 3Positions HOCCO to expand quick-commerce and traditional retail, targeting ₹700–1,000 Cr revenue if supply matches demand
Scoring Rationale
Notable growth and fundraising demonstrate market traction, but limited relevance to data science and narrow sector scope.
