About the Company:

Dream a Dozen is a Bangalore-based Indian Gourmet Gifting company built on the belief that good food can drive meaningful change. Our all-women kitchen is breaking barriers in an industry where less than 3% of chefs are female.

We focus on upskilling women from disadvantaged communities, providing them with training, financial independence, and a sense of purpose: all while crafting thoughtful, handcrafted gifts. Guided by the motto “Empowered Women, Empower Women,” every product we make reflects this mission. All our baked goods are 100% eggless and free from added preservatives, staying true to our commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethics.
