At Hyderabad's 'Manam Chocolate Karkhana', you are sold not just premium India-crafted chocolates but a story. It is a profound story about the origins of that chocolate from Indian cacao, grown in the farms of West Godavari, and its unique journey to become people's object of desire in the store, with credit to everyone along the way who made it happen. That is why it is called Manam, which in Telugu means 'us' or 'we', and that includes farmers, women who harvest and process the pod, the fermenter, the chocolate-maker and the chocolatier.
