Est. 2015 · Kota, Rajasthan ♥

11 years. One standard.
Straight from
the heart.

We started in a storeroom in Kota, sealing packs by hand and checking every label twice. Today, the address has changed. The standard hasn't.

Meal
of the Moment.

You know that 4pm slump where you'd eat literally anything? Or the 11pm "I should not be this hungry" moment? Or the airport sprint where you grab whatever's closest and regret it immediately? Yeah. MOM was built for all of those. The right food, right when you need it - no guilt, no compromise and no sad vending machine decisions.

M.O.M —
the person

Think about the best thing you've ever eaten. Bet it came from someone's kitchen, not a packet. A mother, an aunt, a grandmother who just knew - food made with love tastes different. Not just better. Different. That's what we're chasing with every single product. Would this make a mom proud? If not, it goes back to the drawing board.

The origin · 2015

"Picture this. You're thousands of miles from home, staring at a shelf full of food that looks fine but tastes like absolutely nothing you grew up with."

That was Prateek and Mugdha, two kids from India, studying in the UK, missing food that no packet, no restaurant, nothing out there could replicate. A hot meal that felt like home. A snack you could reach for without having to read the label.Every shelf they looked at had the same problem - nothing tasted Indian, nothing tasted like the food they'd grown up with, and whatever came close was either convenient or good, never both. They came back to India convinced someone needed to fix that.

The founders

that didn't move.

Both studied abroad. Both came back craving the same thing — food made by someone who actually cared. They married in 2014. MOM followed in 2017.

The MOM product truth
Taste × Health
= Moment of Delight

This isn't a positioning line. It's a production filter. If a product satisfies without nourishing — it's not MOM. If it nourishes without delighting — it's not MOM either.
