Experience the Essence of Mozimo

The Genesis of Sweetness

In 2021, two passionate explorers, Amritanshu Agarwal and Priyanka Gupta, set out on a journey to discover the ultimate chocolate experience. For them, chocolate wasn't just a sweet indulgence—it was a canvas for artistic expression and a realm of endless discovery. Their quest took them across India, Dubai, and Europe in search of the finest cocoa and the best chocolate-making techniques.

During their travels, they built relationships with South Indian cocoa growers who for the longest time have remained committed to sustainable and ethical farming practices. They meticulously handpicked cocoa beans rich in heritage and legacy. To ensure that their chocolates were crafted to perfection, they imported state-of-the-art machinery from Europe. Their European sojourns allowed them to master the art of chocolate-making, experiencing firsthand the explosion of flavors and the richness that only true artisanal chocolates can offer.
