I and a friend, Sonali, would talk about starting an ice cream brand when we were younger. I thought of the name when I was in Class 9 but I never told anyone about it," said Ayesha Mehra. The 26-year-old fulfilled her long-held wish when she started Philosophice in 2018. She ordered an ice cream machine to churn some flavours for her friends after college hours, despite no experience in baking or cooking. "[Making] ice cream started as a hobby. I made the coffee brownie flavour and my friends loved it, asking for more. It's now of course, my occupation," says the Altamount Road resident about her artisanal ice cream brand, Philosophice.

Derived from the Greek words, philos and soph, meaning love and wisdom respectively, the name has been the brand's biggest strength. "When I thought about selling the ice cream I was making, the name Philosophice came back to me from my teenage years. The idea was to use the names of philosophers who have inspired us," explains Mehra.
