Innovate For The Love Of Chocolate

Description

About The Challenger

A premium Indian Chocolate company (name withheld) makes chocolates using authentic ingredients sourced from around the world. A key ingredient of good chocolate is cocoa butter, and ensures the sheen, taste and texture of the chocolate. However, chocolate made with a higher percentage of cocoa butter tends to melt easily leading to issues of logistics, unless the temperature is maintained between 16 to 20 degrees celsius. This significantly increases the cost of transportation thereby limiting the scope of expansion of the online market for the brand
