"Do your duty, without expecting results."
Success is Sweet, but for Mohit & Shikha Jain, it is even sweeter. In December 2013, Mohit, an Electronics & Communication Engineer with 7 years of industrial experience at companies like TCS, IBM, and Fidelity, and his wife Shikha, a freelance graphic designer, launched MoShik’s, a personalized homemade chocolate business.
Using the power of the ecommerce, today their beautifully designed & deliciously prepared customized chocolates are being shipped across India.
