About Us

At Indya Chocolatier,

We build a recipe not only from ingredients, but from fond memories, nostalgic aromas, and the rhythm of hands that stir with care. Inspired by Indian ingredients and fond rituals, our chocolates carry both flavor and feeling.

We make our chocolates in small batches, develop them over time, and finish them with restraint. This is chocolate made to be felt slow, deliberate, and meant for presence. Whether gifted or kept, broken or savored slowly, Indya Chocolatier offers something more than indulgence, it gives you a moment. One that stays with you.

A Note from our Founder & Creative Director

Foram Vyas

Chocolate has always been a constant in my life, evolving from a love for fine chocolate into a fascination with craftsmanship — using it as a canvas where flavor, texture, and design come together.

Before founding Indya, I spent nearly fifteen years in Silicon Valley shaping brands and stories for global audiences. Beyond that world, I was equally inspired by travel, hospitality, and the rich cultural traditions I grew up with in India.

Over time, I found myself drawn back to the flavors, memories, and rituals that had quietly stayed with me, imagining how they might be expressed through the language of fine chocolate. Indya emerged from that exploration.

Today, I approach chocolate much like couture: every collection begins with a story and is crafted with intention, precision, and restraint. Many of my greatest inspirations come from travelling the world with my husband and our two children, collecting memories that quietly find their way into the atelier. Together, they become chocolates that are rooted in heritage yet unmistakably contemporary.

The atelier is my way of honoring where I come from while creating something distinctly modern.

Craft rooted in heritage.

FAQS

Our collections are designed to be experienced as curated boxes, which is why they are offered in 9-piece and 18-piece formats.

The intention behind this is very personal to how I create.

For the Signature Collection, the goal is to take you across India through flavor. If someone were to pick just one or two pieces, they might enjoy the chocolate, but they would miss the journey. Each bonbon represents a different place, a different ritual, or a different culinary moment from across the country. Experiencing them together allows
the story to unfold the way it was meant to.

The same philosophy applies to the Seven Stages of Love Collection. Love itself is a journey. It moves through attraction, flirtation, spark, love, connection, longing, and eventually oneness. Experiencing only one stage would feel incomplete — the beauty lies in experiencing the full arc.

Another reason I curate the boxes this way is balance. Within a single box you will encounter sweetness, warmth, spice, fruit, florals, crunch, creaminess, and subtle savory notes. The variety is intentional so that the palate remains excited and curious from one piece to the next.

So while the chocolates can certainly stand alone, the boxes are designed to be experienced as a story.

If I were guiding the experience personally, I would say this:

Sit down with the box in an unhurried moment.

Open it slowly and allow yourself the time to explore each piece. Listen to the snap of the chocolate shell. Notice the textures of the ganache, the caramel, or the fruit jelly. Pay attention to how the flavors unfold.

If it helps, close your eyes while tasting.

Let the chocolates take you either across India or through the stages of love, depending on the collection you are enjoying.

These are not chocolates meant to be rushed through.

They are best enjoyed in a peaceful, relaxed setting, ideally with someone else. The chocolates often become a conversation starter — people talk about what they taste, what they feel, which piece reminds them of something from their own lives.

In many ways, the box becomes a small shared experience.

One thing that excites me about these collections is the variety of textures and techniques they bring together.

For example, in the Seven Stages of Love Collection, if you look at it purely from a confectionery perspective, you experience three pâte de fruits, two caramels, and two ganache bonbons, created with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate.

So even if someone approaches the box simply as a box of sweets — not necessarily the story — they still experience a wide range of textures and techniques.

The same is true for the Signature Collection.

While the box leans more heavily toward ganaches and caramels, it still offers a broad range of sensory experiences. There are moments of crunch from pistachios or biscuits, savory notes from ajwain in the puri crunch, tropical brightness from pineapple, and gentle warmth from spices.

Each piece introduces something new.

So the experience of opening one of these boxes is not just tasting chocolates.

It is discovering a series of flavors, textures, and memories that unfold one after another.

The shapes and colors are always chosen very intentionally.

In the Signature Collection, I wanted to reflect the idea of India’s unity within diversity.

India is a country where languages change from one region to another, cultures shift, cuisines evolve, and traditions vary greatly from place to place. And yet, in spite of all this diversity, the country exists as a unified whole. So in the Signature Collection, you will notice that many of the bonbons are different in shape. They are visually distinct from one another, just as the regions they represent are distinct — yet they all belong to the same story.

For the Seven Stages of Love Collection, the approach is the opposite. Although each stage represents a different emotional moment, they are all part of one continuous love story. Because of that, the bonbons share a similar form, reinforcing that they are different expressions of the same journey.

When it comes to colors, most of my inspiration comes directly from nature and the ingredients themselves. So rather than choosing colors arbitrarily, I try to let the ingredients and their origins guide the visual story.
