Lindt & Sprüngli, the globally recognised Swiss luxury chocolate brand, has expanded its presence in India with the opening of its first dedicated retail boutique in the country. The new chocolate destination officially opened on 4 September 2026 at 5 Worldmark, Aerocity, New Delhi, creating a premium retail experience for Indian consumers, international visitors, business travellers and luxury gift shoppers seeking high-quality Swiss chocolates.

The launch represents an important step in Lindt’s growth strategy in India, as demand for premium food experiences, luxury gifting and international confectionery brands continues to rise. The boutique has been designed not only as a retail outlet but also as an immersive chocolate destination where visitors can explore Lindt’s heritage, craftsmanship and extensive range of premium creations.

Lindt Brings 180 Years Of Swiss Chocolate Heritage To India

The newly opened Aerocity boutique reflects Lindt’s long-standing tradition of chocolate innovation and craftsmanship, built over more than 180 years of expertise in chocolate making. The store highlights the brand’s dedication to quality, from carefully selected cocoa beans to the detailed processes followed by Lindt’s Master Chocolatiers.

The boutique showcases the philosophy behind Lindt’s chocolates, where precision, creativity and premium ingredients come together to create the smooth textures and distinctive flavours associated with Swiss chocolate. Customers can experience the brand’s iconic collections while learning more about the craftsmanship that has made Lindt one of the world’s most recognised chocolate manufacturers.

The store design has been developed to represent Lindt’s luxury identity while creating a welcoming environment for chocolate lovers. Every section of the boutique has been planned to encourage exploration, allowing visitors to discover different chocolate varieties, gifting choices and personalised experiences.

Aerocity Location Strengthens Lindt’s Reach Among Travellers And Luxury Shoppers

The choice of Aerocity, New Delhi, as the location for Lindt’s first Indian boutique reflects the area’s growing importance as a premium lifestyle and hospitality hub. Located close to the Indira Gandhi International Airport, Aerocity has developed into one of Delhi’s leading destinations for luxury hotels, restaurants, corporate offices and high-end retail experiences.

The boutique’s location allows Lindt to connect with a diverse customer base, including local residents, international tourists, corporate travellers and guests staying at nearby luxury hotels. The area’s strong visitor movement creates opportunities for the brand to attract customers looking for premium chocolates as personal indulgences, travel purchases and exclusive gifts.

With luxury tourism, business travel and experiential retail continuing to grow in India, the boutique offers a new destination for consumers seeking international brands and premium shopping experiences.

LINDOR Pick & Mix Creates A Personalised Chocolate Journey

One of the key highlights of the new boutique is the famous LINDOR Pick & Mix experience, which allows customers to design their own chocolate selections according to their personal preferences. The interactive concept gives visitors the opportunity to choose from more than 25 LINDOR flavours, including select varieties available exclusively at the boutique.

The Pick & Mix experience transforms traditional chocolate shopping into a more engaging activity. Customers can explore different flavours, combine their favourite selections and create customised chocolate collections suitable for personal enjoyment, celebrations or gifting.

This personalised approach reflects changing consumer preferences in India, where shoppers are increasingly looking for unique experiences rather than only purchasing standard products. The ability to create individual chocolate assortments adds an element of exclusivity and makes the boutique a destination for memorable chocolate discoveries.

Boutique Introduces Lindt’s Premium Chocolate Collections And New Products

Beyond the LINDOR range, the Aerocity boutique features several of Lindt’s most popular chocolate collections. The store includes the EXCELLENCE range, which offers premium dark chocolates with cocoa intensities ranging from 70% to 90%, catering to consumers who appreciate deeper and more refined chocolate flavours.

The boutique also showcases the EXTRA CREAMY collection, known for its rich milk chocolate texture and smooth taste experience. These collections represent Lindt’s diverse product portfolio, offering options for different preferences and occasions.

The store additionally introduces Lindt’s newly launched WAFERS range, expanding the brand’s product selection for Indian consumers. The addition provides shoppers with more choices beyond traditional chocolate bars and truffles, strengthening Lindt’s appeal across different consumer segments.

Along with everyday chocolate offerings, the boutique features specially designed gift hampers, festive collections and premium packaging options. These products are positioned to meet growing demand for luxury gifting during celebrations, corporate occasions and special events.

Personalised Services Enhance The Premium Retail Experience

To create a more engaging customer journey, Lindt has introduced specially trained chocolate advisors at the Aerocity boutique. These experts help visitors understand different chocolate varieties, explore flavour profiles and select products according to their preferences.

The advisors also assist customers in creating personalised chocolate assortments and choosing suitable gifting options. This service-focused approach allows visitors to receive guidance while discovering the wider world of Lindt chocolates.

The boutique also includes a dedicated baking product section, offering consumers additional ways to enjoy Lindt’s chocolate expertise at home. Through these expanded offerings, the store aims to become a complete chocolate destination rather than simply a traditional retail location.

Lindt’s India Expansion Reflects Growing Demand For Premium Experiences

The opening of the Aerocity boutique marks a new phase in Lindt’s presence in India, bringing the brand’s luxury Swiss chocolate experience closer to consumers across the country. As Indian shoppers increasingly seek premium products, personalised experiences and international lifestyle brands, Lindt’s new retail concept aligns with evolving consumption patterns.

By combining Swiss chocolate heritage, interactive experiences, personalised services and luxury gifting solutions, the boutique creates a unique destination for chocolate enthusiasts and travellers visiting New Delhi.

The Aerocity store strengthens Lindt’s connection with the Indian market while introducing consumers to a more immersive way of experiencing premium chocolate craftsmanship. It represents a major milestone in the brand’s journey to expand its footprint and build deeper engagement with chocolate lovers in India.

Commenting on the launch, Dr. Adalbert Lechner, Group Chief Executive Officer, Lindt & Sprüngli,said: “Opening our very first Lindt store in India marks an important milestone for us. Lindt chocolate is about creating moments of indulgence, whether you’re treating yourself after a long day, discovering a new favourite flavour or finding the perfect gift for someone special. We want to enchant the consumers of India with chocolate and create a space where people can experience the world of Lindt, our Swiss heritage and the craftsmanship of our Master Chocolatiers.”
