Case Study: The Himalayan Chocolate creates livelihoods for local women with Hostinger managed WordPress hosting

The Himalayan Chocolate grows online revenue 10-15% with Hostinger

The Himalayan Chocolate, a social enterprise founded by Rohan Keshewar, was created to address the challenge of limited manufacturing and paid work opportunities for women in the Himalayas. To scale the business beyond local tourist foot traffic and reach customers in major cities, the company needed a reliable online presence, which led them to use Hostinger's managed WordPress hosting service.

By implementing a solution with Hostinger, The Himalayan Chocolate built a direct-to-consumer website. This allowed the business to grow its online revenue to 10-15% of its total sales, generating approximately ₹50,000-₹1 lakh ($600-$1,200) per month. The successful e-commerce platform enabled Hostinger's customer to significantly scale production from under 100 chocolates a day to between 1,500 and 2,000 bars daily, expanding its team of local women from 2 to between 10 and 12 in manufacturing.
