Scope
Brand Experience Design, E-commerce Development, Systems Integration
éntisi is a boutique artisanal chocolatier based in Mumbai, India, known for crafting some of the finest chocolates in the country. Positioned as a luxury gifting brand, éntisi serves both direct consumers and prestigious corporate clients, including globally recognised names such as Bottega Veneta, Tiffany & Co., Starbucks, and Vogue.

From the very beginning of the company’s journey, éntisi focused on craftsmanship, exclusivity, and presentation. However, as the brand matured, it required a digital presence that could reflect its quality, support growth, and operate at scale.
The Challenge
At the time the project began, éntisi had no dedicated website and relied heavily on manual processes and offline channels.

This created several limitations
  • Limited reach beyond physical boutiques
  • No central platform to showcase collections and brand story
  • Manual handling of enquiries and corporate gifting requests
  • Difficulty promoting seasonal and limited-edition collections
  • No scalable e-commerce or marketing foundation
The absence of a digital flagship made it difficult to position éntisi at the level of the luxury brands it partnered with.
Objectives
The website was designed to serve as a digital extension of the brand, with clear business and brand goals
  • Establish a premium digital identity aligned with luxury positioning
  • Enable direct-to-consumer online sales
  • Support B2B and corporate gifting enquiries
It also includes
  • Promote seasonal and limited-edition collections
  • Enable product customisation and bulk ordering
  • Reduce operational friction through automation
  • Create a scalable foundation for growth and brand partnerships
Digital Strategy & Platform Selection
Shopify was selected as the e-commerce platform for its reliability, scalability, and ability to support both D2C and B2B workflows.

The strategy focused on building a brand-first experience while ensuring commercial performance and operational efficiency.
Product Experience & Customisation
éntisi’s product catalogue includes
  • Premium chocolate assortments
  • Customisable gift hampers and gift boxes
  • Seasonal and limited-edition collections
The platform supports
  • Product customisation options for gifting
  • Clear presentation of premium packaging
  • Dedicated flows for corporate gifting and bulk orders
  • Gift cards and custom request handling
This allows both individual customers and corporate buyers to place orders confidently.
UX, Design & Brand Experience
Design played a central role in the project. The website was crafted to
  • Reflect éntisi’s luxury and artisanal identity
  • Use restrained visual language, typography, and spacing
  • Highlight craftsmanship, packaging, and presentation
  • Balance storytelling with commerce
The experience was designed to feel closer to a luxury brand catalogue than a conventional e-commerce store.
E-commerce & Operational Enablement
Key capabilities of the platform include
  • Secure online payments
  • Integrated shipping workflows
  • CRM integration for enquiry and customer management
  • Inventory alignment to reduce manual handling
These integrations significantly reduced operational overhead and enabled smoother order fulfilment.
SEO, Performance & Discoverability
The website was built with performance and visibility in mind
  • Optimised page load times
  • SEO-friendly site structure and content
  • Clear navigation for collections and gifting categories
  • Strong foundation for digital campaigns and seasonal launches
This enabled éntisi to expand its reach beyond physical stores.
