From a grandmother’s love: Nani’s Gelato

In many South Asian languages, Nani means grandmother and for Parry Sohi, she’s the heart behind every scoop.What began as a cupcake truck has grown into Nani’s Gelato, a small-batch brand that handcrafts every scoop in-house and blends Asian, Indian, and Italian flavours into something completely its own. Inspired by the way his mother and grandmother cooked - fresh ingredients, daily care, and no shortcuts - Parry built a business grounded in love, precision, and flavour.Every day starts with a spoonful, a taste test to make sure each batch meets his gold standard. And to ensure that same quality carries across all locations, he sends out mystery shoppers on a 50-point checklist - a kind of “undercover gelato squad” dedicated to keeping that Nani’s touch alive.In this conversation, Parry shares how he’s building a brand that celebrates culture, family, and craftsmanship - one scoop at a time, all inspired by the love of a grandmother’s kitchen.Follow the podcast on Instagram and TikTokFollow Sam Jen on Instagram
