Our Story

I'm Parashar — a software developer who got obsessed with chocolate.

Not just with eating it, but with understanding it. What makes one bar snap cleanly and another crumble. Why two chocolates with the same cocoa percentage taste completely different. How a single inclusion — a pinch of salt, a handful of pistachios, the right amount of caramel — can change everything about how a bar feels in your mouth.

So I started learning. Properly. The kind of learning that fills your weekends, clutters your kitchen, and slowly takes over every conversation you have. Flavour theory, tempering technique, recipe development, texture balance — all of it from scratch, with no shortcuts and no formal training.

Just curiosity, a lot of failed batches, and an unwillingness to settle for “good enough.”

Every recipe at Velmor was built that way. Tested, adjusted, tasted, and tested again until it felt right — not just acceptable, but genuinely worth sharing.

My wife Mayuri stepped in somewhere around the packaging stage, which turned out to be its own obsession entirely. Premium food packaging has rules most people never think about — it needs to look beautiful, feel substantial, and actually protect what's inside from moisture, odour, and temperature.

Finding the right materials, getting the design right, making something that felt worthy of what was inside — it took much longer than either of us expected. She got it right.

I also built this website. Because when you care about every detail, you really can't stop.

Right now, Velmor is a collection of handcrafted chocolate bars — twelve recipes we're proud of, made in small batches, packed with care, and shipped across Gujarat. But this is just the beginning. We're already developing recipes for date chocolates, dragées, and pralines, and our long-term vision is a full bean-to-bar setup — sourcing, roasting, and refining cacao the way we want it done. That chapter comes when the time is right.

For now, we're here — two people, one shared obsession, and a bar of chocolate we genuinely believe is worth your time.
