A note from Subhashini Rajasekaran-

I am going to start a venture for sustainable socially-conscious growth of cocoa and chocolate products in india.

I have even found access to 5 acres of land in the Tamil Nadu / Kerala belt where the climate is suitable that will also allow the engagement of the youth in the village community in the development.

Please introduce yourself in the comments section and feel free to start discussions about any topic related to cacao and chocolate in India.

It's been a while since I have been here but the good news is I am in India and opening my own restaurant in Goa. After having worked for Michelin chefs in London, Chicago, Florida and San Francisco I have decided to try out in goa.
Subhashini - think you doing a great job and would love to eventually sample some local cacao.

Clay, Subhashini, great job on the website / group..

Antara, great job with your venture.

This can well grow into the perfect networking platform for chocolate connoisseurs and entrepreneurs alike.

As for me, I've been an enthusiast ever since I can remember, and i would love to turn that passion into a profession. Hoping to network with, and learn from some connoisseurs.

Regards,

Div

Comment by Antara Roy on February 2, 2012 at 12:19am: Hi Subhashini, I m quite glad to see tat u r starting cocoa plantations here in india.. I am a chocolatier based out of Mumbai and would love to check out your products for my brand..

Our chocolates are made keeping in mind our customers and what they wish to have rather than going the opposite way.. you will find we have some unique combinations in our product list which goes quite wonderfully with a marriage of east and west tastebuds. you may check our work on our online shop/website, www.antarachocolates.com.. Our idea is simple, no indian shud b deprived of these brown treats, because they stay in small cities and towns. we have logistics partners, who deliver our chocolates to the doorstep of one and all..
