I n the world of fast food, where innovation meets convenience, Wow Momo is a pioneer. It has carved a unique niche for itself in the Indian culinary landscape. Shining brighter under the limelight is Wow Momo, as it is part of Season 2 of “Brands of Tomorrow,” telling its story of a small beginning to a gigantic fast food empire.
Founded in 2008 by then college students Sagar Daryani and Binod Homagai, Wow Momo took off with a simple concept: popularizing the love for momos among all Indians. With a capital investment of Rs 600,000 from a borrowed amount, a small kitchen in Kolkata became the nursery for this concept. This is the amazing journey of the brand, as highlighted on “Brands of Tomorrow,” and it emphasizes relentless pursuit of culinary and business excellence by the founders.
What sets Wow Momo apart is not just its focus on a niche product but its continuous innovation in how it is presented and served. From steamed to fried, and even chocolate-filled desserts, Wow Momo has transformed the traditional Tibetan dumpling into an exciting versatile dish that attracts a wide audience. Its segment on “Brands of Tomorrow” goes behind the scenes in the innovation labs at Wow Momo, where creativity meets flavor, pushing the boundaries of what can be done with a simple momo.
From the first kiosk in Kolkata to more than 350 outlets today across India, Wow Momo has scaled phenomenally. The brand adapted itself very fast to the changing consumer preferences and new markets. Its expansion story featured as a case study in “Brands of Tomorrow” about scaling a niche product in a competitive market through innovative food offerings as well as smart business strategies.
In embracing technology during the digital age, Wow Momo has been a leader in integrating tech solutions into its operations. The company uses everything from automated kiosks to AI-powered delivery systems to ensure that its customers’ experience is more pleasant and its operations more efficient. In the episode “Brands of Tomorrow,” the discussion goes beyond its tech-driven initiatives to showcase how these efforts have also helped Wow Momo navigate the pandemic era.

The brand has minimized its environmental footprint by use of biodegradable packaging and promotion of sustainable sourcing practices. This aspect is elaborated in “Brands of Tomorrow” about how Wow Momo aligns its growth ambitions with environmental responsibilities and creates a benchmark among the industry players.
It’s more than just a business; it’s basically a community at its core. The brand has an employee-first approach, where training and career advancement are administered to its staff. “Brands of Tomorrow” beautifully captures this essence-how Wow Momo’s work culture fosters innovation and dedication.
With Wow Momo still growing, the need to innovate and adapt itself in the market is always emphasized. As it continues on this path of foray into international markets and incorporation of more culinary delights into its menu, the prospect appears bright and promising. This forward-looking vision comes through in the “Brands of Tomorrow” feature and invites viewers to wait eagerly for the brand’s continuing journey.
