Swiss luxury chocolate maker Läderach has opened its first store in Mumbai at Jio World Plaza. This store, the second in India, was launched by Dharampal Satyapal Group (DS Group), the exclusive partner for Läderach in India. The new outlet marks a significant step in the luxury chocolate market, combining DS Group's focus on quality and innovation with Läderach's Swiss craftsmanship to offer an extraordinary experience for Indian consumers.
Läderach, renowned globally for its high-quality Swiss chocolates, is bringing a wide range of handcrafted chocolate bars, pralines, truffles, and exclusive gifting options to Mumbai. The store features the brand's well-known FrischSchoggi, or fresh chocolate, along with various other products, all crafted with care to deliver unique flavors, textures, and aromas that elevate the experience of indulging in fine chocolates.
Sanskriti Gupta from Läderach India shared her enthusiasm, saying, "We are excited to introduce the luxurious experience of Läderach chocolates at Jio World Plaza, our first store in Mumbai. As a strategic market for Läderach, Mumbai has demonstrated exceptional enthusiasm for our brand, evident in the resounding success of our e-commerce offerings. In strategic partnership with the DS Group, we aim to expand our reach and offer the distinctive Läderach experience to a wider Indian audience."
Läderach began its e-commerce operations in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai towards the end of last year, aiming to strengthen its presence in the Indian luxury retail market. The partnership between DS Group and Läderach, announced last year, marked the debut of the Swiss brand in India. It started with the opening of a store at DLF Emporio Mall in Delhi NCR, which offered an immersive in-store experience for customers.
DS Group, a multi-business corporation and a major FMCG player in India, is committed to bringing unique luxury experiences to the Indian market. Established in 1929, DS Group is known for its diverse portfolio, which includes products and services in sectors such as food and beverage, mouth fresheners, luxury retail, hospitality, and agriculture. Some of the well-known brands under its umbrella are Rajnigandha, Catch, Pulse, and Läderach.
The new store at Jio World Plaza is expected to be a significant addition to Mumbai's luxury chocolate market, offering customers an exquisite chocolate experience during the festive season and beyond.

The Formula 1 weekend in Miami just got a high-powered desi twist as Rana Daggubati, Indian actor and entrepreneur, lit up the city’s nightlife with his Loca Loka tequila crew at an exclusive party that blended global glam with Indian flair.
Held during one of the most anticipated weekends on Miami’s social calendar, the event saw Rana rubbing shoulders with hip-hop legend 50 Cent, rap star Flo Rida, and Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. Photos and videos from the night captured Rana enjoying the vibe, sharing light moments and tequila shots with global icons, and enjoying a surprise performance by 50 Cent that took the energy up a notch.
Rana, co-owner of the premium tequila brand Loca Loka, was in Miami promoting the label alongside partners Anirudh Ravichander, India's music sensation and Sree Harsha Vadlamudi, a known serial entrepreneur. The Loca Loka bash became a hotspot for networking, celebration, and showcasing how Indian creativity is making waves on a global scale.
Known for fusing business with pop culture, Rana has been steadily positioning Loca Loka as a bold lifestyle brand. The F1 party was a celebration of this vision where Indian enterprise met global swagger in the heart of Miami.
From catching up backstage with 50 Cent to toasting with Flo Rida and laughing with Cuba Gooding Jr., Rana Daggubati’s Miami moment was a vivid reflection of his growing presence in the global lifestyle space.
While F1 was all about speed, for Rana and Loca Loka, it was about style, celebration, and cultural crossover, a spirited moment for Indian entrepreneurship on the world stage.

About THE Park Hotels:
THE Park Hotels – Navi Mumbai are pioneers in luxury boutique hospitality, known for their contemporary design, curated experiences, and pulse-driven energy across India’s top destinations.
Wynnd Hotels, one of NCR’s emerging hospitality names, proudly unveils The Dark Room—a striking new cafe-club concept that reintroduces the pulse of authentic nightlife to Noida. Located on the 5th floor of Galaxy Blue Sapphire Mall, Greater Noida West, The Dark Room is more than just a venue—it’s a vibe.
Designed for night owls, music lovers, and adventurers, The Dark Room channels the raw energy and allure of classic underground clubs. With bold black-and-red interiors and owl motifs across its walls, the space exudes an atmosphere that is both mysterious and magnetic. It’s crafted to evoke the nostalgia of a time when stepping into a club meant stepping into another world.
“The Dark Room is our response to what nightlife has lacked,” says Gaurav Sapra, Founder of The Dark Room by Wynnd Hotels. “At one point, entering a club was like entering another universe—where the lights, the music, and the people all combined to make you feel alive. That’s the vibe we’ve brought back here. It’s a place for those seeking more than a drink—they’re looking for an experience that lingers.”
The venue is open until 2:00 a.m., making it a perfect late-night haven for those looking to unwind, groove to live music, or dance through the night. At a time when much of the city’s nightlife has shifted toward quieter cafe culture, The Dark Room reclaims the essence of high-energy clubbing.
Beyond its music and ambiance, The Dark Room is also a premium dining destination. Guests can indulge in a diverse multi-cuisine menu, offering international flavours, gourmet bar food, and comfort dishes—carefully curated to pair with the club’s exotic beverage selection. The full-service bar features super-premium spirits, seasonal blends, and creative signature cocktails and mocktails.
Whether you're there for the beats, the bites, or the buzz, The Dark Room promises a return to nightlife that’s vibrant, unapologetic, and unforgettable.
