Chocolyn : A Chocolate brand built in the early 2000s and still going strong

Carolyn passed away in 2007. In her memory, the ‘Chocolyn’ Chocolate Project was established at Diya, funded by the donations that her family sought from friends and family who attended her funeral. By 2013, it grew into one of the business units of the production studio at Diya Innovations.

How Chocolyn came to be?

Carolyn, one of Diya Foundation’s first three students, graced the unit with the most beautiful, shy smile during her days there in the early 2000s. Adorned in carefully coordinated attire and accessories, she would eagerly await the auto, anticipating the day’s adventures. Cherished memories of Carolyn revolve around her love for food and sweets. On her own birthday, when asked which Diya product she’d like as a gift, she’d politely decline every suggestion. But her entire face would light up with joy at the mere mention of a Cadbury chocolate. Carolyn’s diligence shone through her work. She excelled at sanding the recycled rolls, transforming them into creative pen stands. She approached each responsibility with enthusiasm and found joy in her craft.

What the Diya chocolatiers conjure up

Our team creates chocolates in all shapes and sizes, customised for any family occasion or festive season.

Come Easter, eggs in white chocolate and milk chocolate, bunnies and bird nests in dark chocolate are carefully made. Delicately speckled and striped eggs add to the colour and festivity of Easter gifting

The Christmas season sees a range of baubles, Santas, wreaths and candy canes crafted in chocolate, that make perfect gifts for the season.

Wedding giveaways, chocolate to commemorate important days at work or in the family are all part of our portfolio. Chocolate has made up a large part of our corporate Diwali gifting and the chocolate slabs and squares are generously filled with roasted dry fruit and dressed in festive sleeves to fill the festive hampers gifted to employees and clients.

What makes handmade chocolates truly special is the personal touch of the artisan. Our chocolatiers take great pride in the small-batch production of their confections, ensuring that each piece is individually crafted. This care and attention to detail are reflected in the final product, making our handmade chocolates a thoughtful gift, a luxurious treat, and a special indulgence.
