ndia’s chocolate story has changed — dramatically. Once limited to duty-free Toblerones and familiar milky bars, India has now developed strong opinions on cacao percentages, single-estate beans, and turmeric-infused bars. As incomes rose and e-commerce exploded, chocolate stopped being a treat and became a tasting ritual. A handful of passionate growers and chocolatiers in Kerala and Tamil Nadu sparked India’s bean-to-bar revolution, creating flavours that feel unmistakably Indian. Today, a $220M market growing at 12% a year is just the beginning. Palki Sharma tells you why India’s next big gourmet export may just be chocolate.
