About Amadora and this role Amadora is a premium artisanal ice cream brand founded in Chennai in 2011. Everything is made from scratch, with no premixes, in our central kitchen. We run 19 franchise and company-owned stores across Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad, with about 20 more planned for 2027 across Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. Our range covers ice cream, bars, cakes, sandwiches, baked goods and sauces.
We are hiring our first Financial Controller to own Amadora's numbers end to end.
