Started in 2021, this brand purely worked around bringing back old-school day memories through flavorful Ice Pops and wanted to re-introduce this favorite frozen fruit snack in a better and tastier form.

Why better?

Because Skippi Ice Pops are made using 100% natural color, flavors with no added artificial sweeteners or preservatives. The colors and flavors utilized are all derived from fruit and vegetable extracts hence still preserving the fun aspect. You can find Skippi Ice pops on multiple major online marketplaces, including Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto and our website. Skippi Ice-Pops comes in exciting flavours including raspberry, orange, cola, mango twist, bubblegum, and lemon. It is interesting to know that these ice pops are marketed in liquid form at room temperature and which has helped us to remove cold storage from the supply chain. To freeze the ice pops, they must be frozen overnight.

But this was not the only reason why Skippi made the headlines recently. Skippi ice pops were also featured on the popular business-pitch reality show "Shark Tank" where they won an ‘All Shark Deal’ locking themselves with a funding of Rs. 1 Crore. All 5 sharks — Ashneer Grover, MD and Co-founder of Bharat Pe; Anupam Mittal, Founder & CEO of Shaadi.com; Aman Gupta, Co-founder & CMO of boAt; Vineeta Singh, CEO & Co-founder of SUGAR Cosmetics; and Namita Thapar, Executive Director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals — supported Skippi Ice pops after being impressed by the pitch and this flavorful Ice Pop. This not only resulted in gaining a lot of attention for the brand but also captured the hearts of many across the country making them an absolute Shark Tank Ice Pops brand! Soon after, the brand experienced a 40x boost in revenue and an INR 2-2.8 Crore monthly rise in sales. Today, this Ice Pop brand moved from a regional manufacturer and distributor to an international exporter!

And also, in April 2022, this Shark Tank Ice Pop brand received India's most prestigious award, the Franchise India - Small Business Award, which honors the unsung heroes of the economy as well as the top Small to Mid-Sized Business brands and visionaries.

In 2022, the brand introduced Skippi freezer bikes which provided franchise enthusiasts and business owners with new opportunities. The Skippi freezer bikes were launched as a contemporary variation of the classic Chuski walas. Through these electric motorcycles that are fitted with freezers, the main aim is to sell ice pops that are delicious and hygienic.

We created a buzz after appearing as a Success story on Shark Tank Season 2.

I wish to express a serious concern regarding the packaging of Skippi ice pops. It appears to be substandard and poses a potential danger to children. The design seems unscientific and features sharp ends that can cause severe harm. My children hurt their mouth eating these popsicles. It's surprising that product endorsed by shark investors, would have such low-quality packaging. I urge for immediate attention to this matter to ensure the safety of consumers, particularly children.
