About KAPS · Since 2001
25 Years of Taste, Trust & Togetherness
Our story
Taste, technical knowledge and perseverance — the ingredients that have shaped KAPS from day one.
Around the year 2000, four friends and dairy technology graduates — Kaustubh, Akanand, Prashanth and Sharda Charan — shared a vision to build a strong ice cream brand from Chhattisgarh, one that embraced the region's culture and flavours.
In 2001, KAPS began from a small rented space with an initial production capacity of around 200 litres a day. The early years demanded patience, learning and hard work.
A dedicated manufacturing facility in Raipur followed, and production capacity grew to around 600 litres per day. In 2010, the company became KAPS Foods India Pvt. Ltd.
In 2016, Unit 1 expanded with a shift toward semi-automated production, and KAPS reached Maharashtra, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh. In 2016–2017, KAPS entered the non-dairy whip-topping segment through its bakery brand HANNS.
From Raipur, Bhilai and Durg to Bastar, Sarguja and Mainpat, KAPS has grown by nurturing relationships with local farmers, youth and distributors — a bond that ensures quality sourcing and shared growth.
The COVID-19 period of 2020 tested businesses across the country, and KAPS kept working to sustain its journey. In 2025–2026, Unit 2 and automated production opened the next chapter of our manufacturing story.
