Founded by Kiran Shah, Go Zero has a diversified product portfolio featuring low-calorie, high-protein, and vegan ice creams. The startup claims that all its products are sweetened with plant-based sweeteners, which are low in calories. 

Currently present in 16 cities and over 125 dark stores, Go Zero ice cream brand is available on both quick commerce and e-commerce platforms in less than two years of launch. 

In FY24, Go Zero claims to have grown 4X compared to FY23 and while it saw 7X growth on quick commerce in just 5 months this summer.
