Starting your own business may be daunting, but when you have the passion, skills, support of loved ones, and of course, a great product, it can be a successful and fulfilling venture. Just ask Anjali Gupta who founded Anjalichocolat when she was 50, an age where many would start planning their retirement.
The former banker, who often moved around the world with her family before settling in Singapore, decided it was time she "grabbed destiny with my own two hands" and pursue her passion for chocolate. Numerous culinary courses and professional programmes later, her namesake brand was born.
A one-stop destination
A small stall at PasarBella (a gourmet farmer's market) in 2014 served as the starting point before she moved the business to the tranquil Loewen by Dempsey Hill. The current location serves as a production facility and workshop venue - "a one-stop destination for corporate gifting and team-building experiences". In 2018, they shifted their retail operations to Tanglin Mall. In addition, they operate an online store, and are listed on several online platforms such as Lazada, Amazon, and Fairprice Marketplace.
