BYOND Chocolates

BYOND Chocolates

Byond is a premium chocolate ingredient house built on a simple conviction: exceptional chocolate is never left to chance. It is shaped, patiently and purposefully, through every decision that comes before it.

From nurturing cocoa across the fertile landscapes of Southern India and partnering with trusted origins in Ghana to transforming it at our 5,00,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Hyderabad, we remain deeply involved in every chapter of the journey. It is this complete stewardship—from plantation to production—that allows us to create ingredients defined by consistency, functionality, and uncompromising quality.

Every harvest is respected. Every bean is selected with intent. Every fermentation carefully observed. Every profile naturally refined. The result is a portfolio of couverture, compounds, cocoa products, and bakery solutions that performs with confidence, allowing chefs, chocolatiers, pâtissiers, bakers, and manufacturers to focus not on the ingredient, but on what they can create with it.

This philosophy is championed by our Founder & CEO, Sirish Kothapally, whose vision was recently recognised with the Economic Times Excellence Awards Telangana 2026 for Excellence in Advancing Chocolate Craftsmanship—a recognition of his commitment to advancing India’s chocolate landscape through thoughtful innovation, technical excellence, and enduring craftsmanship.

At Byond, we measure our success not by the chocolate we make, but by the creations it makes possible. To every chef, baker, chocolatier, hobbyist and creator who chooses us—you are, and always will be, our Partners in Creation.
