Founded by Balasubrahmanya P S, Swathi Kallegundi

We "Balasubrahmanya P S" and "Swathi Kallegundi" come from an agricultural background and have been growing cacao for several decades. we've always aspired to accomplish something distinct and unique in the agricultural field. Yet, we had never considered chocolate before. But when the pandemic struck in 2020, we are interested in trying something new and soon started exploring. All of these explorations led them to the path of chocolate production.

And it soon resulted in farm-to-bar artisanal chocolates, which manifested into their brand Anuttama Products in August 2020. The company is headquartered in Bettampady, which is 16 kilometres from Puttur in the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka.
