Our Story: Revolutionizing Dairy with Health-Focused, Plant-Based Gelato & Beverages

It all began with a visit to the dermatologist—a turning point that led Anagh and Vedansh, the founders of 1.5 Degree, to cut dairy from their diets due to health concerns. Frustrated by the lack of tasty and affordable alternatives, they decided to take matters into their own hands. In 2018, 1.5 Degree was born with a mission to offer delicious, plant-based dairy products that cater to the growing number of lactose-intolerant individuals and those seeking healthier, more sustainable options.

With a legacy of four generations in food entrepreneurship, Anagh and Vedansh brought together a team of industry experts to perfect their formulations. From creamy oat milk to indulgent oat-based gelato, their products blend indulgence with health, offering authentic flavors without compromising on taste.

Fueled by their passion for innovation, Anagh and Vedansh established their own state-of-the-art R&D lab and manufacturing facility in partnership with NIFTEM, ensuring that each product meets the highest standards of quality.

Today, 1.5 Degree delivers premium, 100% India-made products, supporting the Atma Nirbhar Bharat Mission and redefining the way we enjoy healthy, sustainable desserts.

The Story Behind Our Name: A Commitment to the Planet

Our name, 1.5 Degree, stands as a symbol of our unwavering commitment to sustainability and the future of our planet. It draws inspiration from the United Nation’s mission to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius—a crucial target established under the Paris Agreement to prevent the most severe consequences of climate change.

Global efforts have already reduced the projected temperature rise from a catastrophic 5.5 degrees to 3.5 degrees Celsius, but the journey toward the 1.5-degree target demands collective, transformative action. At 1.5 Degree, we believe that plant-based innovations hold the power to drive meaningful change. With dairy production contributing to 30% of India's methane emissions, transitioning to sustainable, plant-based alternatives is no longer just a choice—it’s an urgent necessity for safeguarding the planet for generations to come.

When you choose 1.5 Degree, you become part of a movement that combines indulgence and responsibility. Together, we can create a world that respects its ecological boundaries while savoring the delights of health-focused, plant-based desserts and beverages. Let’s redefine the future—one scoop, sip and step at a time.
