70 Incredible Women and their Chocolate Factory in Ooty | Rahul Gandhi
Channel: Rahul Gandhi
Date: 2023-08-27

Nestled amidst the picturesque Nilgiris lies a globally renowned Indian industry - the chocolate-makers of Ooty. On my way to Wayanad, recently, I had the delightful experience of visiting one of Ooty's most celebrated brands: Moddys Chocolates.

The entrepreneurial spirit of the couple behind this small business, Muralidhar Rao and Swati, is inspiring. Equally remarkable is the all-women team which works alongside them. This dedicated team of 70 women crafts some of the most exquisite couverture chocolates I've ever tasted.

However, like countless other small and medium businesses across India, Moddys is grappling with the burden of the same adversary - the Gabbar Singh Tax. In a landscape where the government appears to favor larger corporations to the detriment of the MSME sector, it is the pure grit of hard-working Indians like the women I met here that sustains India's growth.

Creating industrial hubs and implementing a single GST rate stand as imperative measures to shield these MSMEs, which collectively possess the power to drive India's growth engine. Women-led teams like this deserve all the support we can give. Muralidhar and Swati's children deserve an India where their future thrives.
