These delights are made in small batches and are prepared fresh when ordered. Although India has its own traditional sweet treats that remain popular throughout the country, its chocolate consumption is rapidly increasing. India is in fact, one of the fastest growing chocolate markets in the world along with China. Developing economic conditions, change in lifestyle, rising disposable incomes and a rich population of youngsters are the prominent elements for chocolate business growth in India.

No player dared to create a category like premium chocolate market in India due to affordability issues.
