HARSHA JAIN
Our Mom, brought her passion into creating fine chocolate in Bombay! At the time, the customers were delighted by her Almond Rocks, Biscuit Chocolates and the exceptional Packaging she offered! Expanding her business into a commercial kitchen, Harsh Chocolates grew to be loved by all customers!
As her daughters, we inherited a beloved kitchen and lessons such as the importance of a smile and a business hustle.
As a family run firm rather than an industrial plant, we run a kitchen that produces chocolate in consonance with the great traditions of chocolate making.
