We plan to launch outlets all over India, so that customers can directly customize chocolate in the stores. This would help reduce the cost as well as the transportation time.

Another major reason to open retail outlets of Lovelychocos is to provide employment, especially to women.

As we are spending from our pockets and with no funding its difficult for marketing and advertising but with word of mouth and using Facebook as a platform we are getting orders.

We target people of all age groups, especially youngsters and IT communities. As chocolates are loved by all its one of the first gifting option which comes to our mind and lovelychocos takes it to another level.
Where do you see Lovelychocos 5 years down the line?
We would love to see Lovelychocos stores in all the metros. We also have plans related to women entrepreneurship whose details we can’t reveal at present.
