Empowering Women Through Sweet Success and Strong Leadership
Parul Agarwal, the State Director of Bharatt Royal Pageant, is a shining beacon of hope, resilience, and transformation. At 50, Parul has redefined what it means to start over. A home chef and baker based in Dehradun, she emerged stronger after walking away from a two-decade-long abusive marriage. With courage in her heart and a whisk in hand, she launched a small tiffin service in 2017 that blossomed into ChocolatierArt—a thriving home-based brand known for its handcrafted chocolates, traditional Indian sweets, and a wide variety of bakery delights.
A Culinary Revival Inspired by Heritage
Parul’s culinary journey is deeply personal and culturally rich. Drawing inspiration from her grandparents’ timeless recipes, she began recreating authentic Indian sweets such as gulab jamun, gujiya, kalakand, and besan ladoo. Today, ChocolatierArt is not just a brand—it’s a tribute to Indian culinary heritage. Her offerings include everything from customized birthday cakes and anniversary bakes to festive treats like nankhatai, tea cakes, and cookies that carry the comforting essence of a homemade touch.
Recognition That Reflects Excellence
Her exceptional talents and dedication have not gone unnoticed. Parul has received numerous accolades including:
- Best Heritage Thali
- Ghar Wala Swad
- Nari Garima Samman
- Mrs. India Classic Queen 2018
These awards serve as recognition of not only her skill but her relentless spirit and creativity.
Mentor, Judge, and Culinary Educator
Beyond running a successful business, Parul has taken on the role of a mentor and educator. As the Uttarakhand State Coordinator for Kahin Gum Na Ho Jaye, she nurtures young chefs and food entrepreneurs. Her guidance extends to judging culinary events and serving as a guest teacher, where she shares her knowledge, insights, and passion for food with aspiring talents.
Leading with Purpose at Bharatt Royal
Parul’s leadership at the Bharatt Royal Pageant is rooted in a shared mission: to empower women, preserve cultural heritage, and create social impact. She plays a crucial role in shaping the pageant as a platform that celebrates inner beauty, resilience, and purpose. Her involvement brings authenticity and warmth to the organization’s outreach and vision.
She often states, “Bharatt Royal is not just a competition; it’s a movement that uplifts women and celebrates our Indian roots. I am honored to lead this change from Uttarakhand.”
Vision for the Future
Parul Agarwal envisions expanding ChocolatierArt into a national brand that brings traditional flavors to modern palates. She aims to continue mentoring young talent and to amplify the impact of the Bharatt Royal platform, helping it become a national benchmark in meaningful pageantry.
Her journey—from surviving adversity to leading with purpose—is an inspiration for women across generations. She stands as proof that it’s never too late to rediscover oneself and rise stronger than ever before.
