Alvinia D'Souza, a former pharmaceutical engineer from Goa, has successfully transitioned into a craft chocolate entrepreneur. After training in Switzerland for five years, she returned to India and converted 10 acres of barren land on the Goa-Maharashtra border into a fertile cocoa plantation using organic methods. In 2025, after her first major harvest, she launched her brand 'Doda.' She oversees the entire process from bean to bar and offers unique flavors like mango chili and sea salt at her cafe, inspiring youth with her dedication. https://sambad.in/special/from-engineer-to-craft-chocolate-maker-12115569 #creator program
