Dhruv got the idea of Rocky Toppers as part of an assignment for one of his entrepreneurship classes. The more he thought about it, the more feasible and realistic the idea seemed. Throughout his entrepreneurship minor, he panned out the details and developed a clear vision for the company: to provide university creameries with unique ice cream toppings that reflect their respective values.
