Sharing her thoughts on the launch, Geetu Verma, Director, Foods and Refreshments, Hindustan Unilever Ltd. said, “Magnum is pure pleasure from its first distinctive crack to the last bite. Last summer, Chennai welcomed us with open arms and we are now thrilled to bring Unilever’s biggest and most loved ice cream brand to four more cities in India. We are confident that Magnum will appeal to young adults who are eager to indulge in an experience that is truly unique. I’m also delighted to have Kareena as our ‘Pleasure Ambassador’. She perfectly personifies the brand with her irresistible charm and royal demeanor.”
