About Amadora Since 2011, Amadora has made ice cream the hard way: from scratch, in small batches, with real ingredients and no premixes. What started as a single Chennai parlour is now a premium artisanal brand with 21 stores across Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Cochin by the end of this year, and 20 more planned for 2027. Our range has grown beyond scoops into ice cream bars, cakes, sandwiches, chocolate bars, baked goods and high-protein ice creams, and we’re preparing to enter organised retail. We’re a franchise-led business with a loyal following and a product people rave about. Now we need someone to build the brand that matches it.
