Every creation at The Hazelnut Factory reflects the vision of two dreamers who believed that Indian sweets could tell a new story — one of innovation, authenticity, and joy. What began as a small idea in Lucknow has today grown into a celebrated brand of artisanal indulgence, led with heart and guided by craft.

Fuelled by an unyielding passion for reimagining tradition, Ankit and Badal Sahni set out to bridge the gap between heritage and modern taste. Their journey began with a simple yet profound belief — that Indian desserts could be as global, elegant, and experiential as any fine pâtisserie in the world, without losing their soul. From crafting the perfect texture of baklava to introducing gourmet gifting experiences, they’ve turned The Hazelnut Factory into a space where craftsmanship meets creativity.

Behind every box, every confection, and every café experience lies their shared commitment to quality and innovation. Together, they’ve built not just a brand but a movement — redefining indulgence for a new generation while staying true to the warmth, hospitality, and cultural richness that make Indian sweets timeless.
