About

I am an award-winning Chocolatier and Gold Medal Chef, passionate about transforming fine cacao into indulgent experiences. Currently leading the chocolate vertical at Nature’s Basket, Ahmedabad, where I create and manage an entire line of artisan chocolates and luxury desserts. From handcrafted bonbons, truffles, pralines, and kunafa to healthy protein bars and sugar-free innovations, my expertise lies in blending culinary artistry with operational leadership. I independently manage end-to-end chocolate operations – from production, recipe innovation, and quality control to inventory, ordering, and customer engagement. With a strong foundation in patisserie, boulangerie, and vegan desserts, I thrive on product innovation, menu development, and creating unforgettable chocolate experiences. ✨ My mission: To craft chocolate that tells a story, builds an experience, and redefines indulgence.
