From 80 Kg of Cocoa Beans to Global Recognition: Vijayawada Entrepreneur’s Chocolate Journey

A small beginning with just 80 kg of cocoa beans and six moulds in a tiny room has grown into an entrepreneurial journey with international recognition. At a time when many young people are moving to cities in search of jobs, Vijayawada-based Praveen has chosen to build a business in his hometown. Inspired by the spirit of ‘Make in India’, he ventured into chocolate manufacturing and has created employment opportunities for 10 people locally.

Despite the wide variety of chocolates available in the market, Praveen aims to offer consumers a product that is natural and pure. His journey reflects how a modest idea, backed by determination and a focus on quality, can develop into a growing business.
