The following is the command and the result.

[Anaconda2] C:\Users\Gurminder>ipython notebook
[TerminalIPythonApp] WARNING | Subcommand `ipython notebook` is deprecated and will be removed in future versions.
[TerminalIPythonApp] WARNING | You likely want to use `jupyter notebook`... continue in 5 sec. Press Ctrl-C to quit now.

And the display on the browser looks like following:

Why is it launching jupyter when I am giving the command to launch ipython.

I have updated all the packages including ipython.

The answer is on the IPython website:

IPython is a growing project, with increasingly language-agnostic components. IPython 3.x was the last monolithic release of IPython, containing the notebook server, qtconsole, etc. As of IPython 4.0, the language-agnostic parts of the project: the notebook format, message protocol, qtconsole, notebook web application, etc. have moved to new projects under the name Jupyter. IPython itself is focused on interactive Python, part of which is providing a Python kernel for Jupyter.

In summary, what previously was known as the IPython notebook now is the Jupyter notebook. Apart from the name, they are practically the same.

It even says so in the warning message you get:

[TerminalIPythonApp] WARNING | Subcommand `ipython notebook` is deprecated and will be removed in future versions.
[TerminalIPythonApp] WARNING | You likely want to use `jupyter notebook`... continue in 5 sec. Press Ctrl-C to quit now.

ipython notebook is deprecated and you should use jupyter notebook instead, but IPython plays nice and runs the Jupyter notebook for you.
