Callebaut, celebrated for its century-old legacy of authentic Belgian chocolates, is thrilled to announce its continued collaboration with the esteemed Chef Arvind Prasad, who will continue to serve as the brand ambassador in India for the second consecutive year. This partnership holds immense importance for Callebaut as it strives to strengthen its bonds within the culinary community and exemplify the diverse applications of its chocolate products.
Over the past year, Chef Arvind has been the face of the Callebaut brand across numerous significant platforms. Notable highlights from the previous year include his representation of Callebaut at India's largest trade show, Aahar in Delhi, active engagement with the chef community and food industry influencers, and participation in the CIBUS Parma trade show in Italy, where he proudly represented India.
Chef Arvind shared his thoughts, stating, “In my culinary journey, I've had the privilege of working with numerous renowned chocolate brands, but it’s with Callebaut that I’ve found a truly reliable partner. What excites me most about Callebaut chocolates is their workability, versatility, and the unique taste of Belgian chocolate, which allows me to craft my best creations.”
For this year's Diwali celebration, Chef Arvind has introduced 'Diya,' an egg-free creation that beautifully combines the richness of dark chocolate with saffron and a medley of nuts. He explained, “For this creation, I wanted to design an indulgent dessert that pairs Belgian Chocolate with ingredients synonymous with Indian festivities, such as a blend of pistachios, almonds, and cashews, which are extensively used in Diwali gifting.”
Discussing the brand’s growth and the ongoing partnership with Chef Arvind, Mr. Dhruva Sanyal, Managing Director of India for Barry Callebaut, the company behind the Callebaut brand, stated, “Our primary focus is on expanding our presence within the culinary community and promoting the Finest Belgian Chocolate throughout India. The collaboration with Chef Arvind has proven to be exceptionally fruitful, drawing attention to our Callebaut brand and integrating its products into renowned hospitality brands throughout India. We eagerly anticipate Chef Arvind's extensive pastry expertise and reputation, which will further enhance Callebaut's brand awareness and market share.”
This year, Chef Arvind is scheduled to conduct several masterclasses, with his first session set to take place at the Bakery Biz in Mumbai on November 29, 2023. He will continue to create, share, and inspire through Callebaut's digital platforms and will be actively involved in Callebaut's pan-India competition. This competition is designed to provide an opportunity for the chef community to showcase their talent and compete for the prestigious title of 'Callebaut Patissier of the Year.'
Callebaut and Chef Arvind's partnership continues to be a delectable success story, and we look forward to more sweet creations and collaborations in the coming year.

Chef Balasundaram Murugesan, fondly known as Chef Bala, has launched Anthara, a French-American patisserie and dining space in Bangalore’s vibrant Marathahalli neighbourhood. Spanning 2400 sq ft, Anthara offers an immersive gastronomic experience that unites the elegance of French patisserie with the bold comfort of American flavours.
Nestled amid blooming bougainvillea and warm earthy tones, Anthara has been designed to encourage guests to pause and savour life's simple indulgences. From day to night, the venue transforms from a vibrant café to a laid-back dining and lounge setting, inviting patrons to explore handcrafted coffees, custom-styled sandwiches, refined plated dishes, and an array of artisanal desserts.
Speaking about the launch, Chef Bala said, “Anthara is the culmination of my passion for soulful cuisine and my belief in the power of hospitality to connect people. With Anthara, I wanted to create a space that feels personal yet refined — where food isn’t just consumed, but truly experienced.”
The culinary programme at Anthara showcases a daily rotation of house-baked breads, forming the base for rich, American deli-style sandwiches. A thoughtfully curated beer and coffee pairing menu complements the comfort food offerings. The French patisserie section highlights refined creations like éclairs and macarons, prepared using traditional techniques and premium ingredients.
Built on the principles of innovation, global quality, neighbourhood connection, and heartfelt hospitality, Anthara brings a refreshing dining experience to the city. Chef Bala also hinted at future expansion plans, aiming to reach more communities across Bangalore in the next five years.
With a menu that balances indulgence and authenticity, Anthara sets a new standard in Bangalore’s dining scene—where every meal is a story and every visit, a memory.
This summer, Bengaluru's vibrant craft beer scene is celebrating the season’s favourite fruit, mango with two specially curated seasonal brews by Red Rhino Craft Brewery and BLR Brewing Co.
At Red Rhino, beer lovers can sip on the Mango Rosemary Ale, a tropical light malt that strikes a refreshing balance between juicy mango and aromatic rosemary. Clocking in at 8% ABV with a gentle 18 IBU, this ale is crisp and subtly bitter, offering just the right amount of sweetness. Priced at INR 375 for 500 ml, this brew is available only until stocks last at Red Rhino, Bengaluru.
Meanwhile, BLR Brewing Co. presents ‘Aam Ki Baat’, a Mango Saison that blends rich Alphonso mangoes with traditional Belgian Saison. With 5.3% ABV and 15 IBU, this beer offers a fruity, mildly spicy profile that’s both tropical and complex. Priced at INR 450 for 500 ml, it’s available throughout May across all BLR Brewing Co. outlets in Bengaluru.
Both breweries have taken a creative spin on seasonal brewing, embracing local ingredients and refreshing styles that suit the city’s summer palate.
