About Us
What happens when a food-obsessed dreamer meets a stone slab and a scoop of innovation? You get Stoned Monkey — India’s quirkiest, stone-beaten ice cream café.
Founded in 2015 by Dr. Sai Aslesh, Stoned Monkey was never meant to be “just another” dessert place. From day one, our goal was to craft sundaes and shakes that didn’t just taste amazing but also brought smiles, giggles, and a little bit of madness to every table.
Today, we’re not just scooping — we’re expanding. With exciting franchise plans across India, we’re building a community of dessert lovers who want more than just vanilla.
A doctor turned entrepreneur, Dr. Aslesh is the visionary behind Stoned Monkey. With over 16 years in the F&B industry and a knack for blending creativity with strategy, he built the brand from scratch — one scoop at a time.
Awarded “Most Dynamic Student Entrepreneur of India” (2016) by Entrepreneur.com, Dr. Aslesh now leads a group of companies in food, hospitality, and entertainment. His energy and out-of-the-box thinking are at the heart of our flavor and franchise journey.
