Netizens React

Meanwhile, the ice cream launch has left netizens with mixed feelings.

Reacting to the news, many commented on a viral X post. One of them wrote, "100% cruelty free made purely from the milk produced by cows which were saved from the farmers who were exploiting them for their milk."

"His idea of doing social, charity work etc is only to build & promote his brand. No sincerity in doing good, caring, helpful work. Its all abt money. Obv a true businessman, nothing else," added another.

One more said, "Whyyyy launch Vantara Creamery ice cream now? Vantara already rescued thousands of animals and Anant has huge money from Reliance. India needs more tech and R&D, not another snack brand when Reliance is already in telecom, retail and energy."

Someone else also quipped, "I am very skeptical about the ingredients used. I won't go anywhere near that ice cream."

A section of people on the internet also supported the brand. One of them commented, "It's good that new Indian companies are getting in this field to tackle the foreign brands."
