ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY

   Shyam's tryst with entrepreneurship started quite early. He was not interested in studies and did not even clear his class 10. At the age of 14, he decided to join his grandfather's rice mill business. 

   Shyam tried setting up many businesses for nearly two decades and then decided to try his luck with momos as he saw India as a big market. He began Momo King in 2017. 

    During one of his trips to Australia, he saw hundreds of people flocking a food joint. He thought it must be a very popular dish. When he went closer, he realized it was 'Noodle Box', the popular Australian quick-service restaurant chain. At that time, he thought that, Jab ye noodle bech ke itna kama raha hai, toh momo kyun nahi? Thus, the idea of Momo King was conceived.

    Then, Shyam went to Malaysia and tried making momos by himself. After receiving feedback, he worked on it according to the preferred tastes. He then opened the first Momo King store in 2017 from his personal savings.

    On the first day, Shyam sold momos worth Rs.2000. In just three months, he started making Rs.70,000 per day, and since then the numbers have only been increasing. 

   Shyam Thakur then decided to return to India and set up the business in Delhi NCR. He launched the first Momo King QSR in Gurugram, and in the next three years, he has managed to open four outlets across Delhi-NCR with four cloud kitchens. The bootstrapped company has priced momos in the range of Rs.129 and Rs.149.

    Momo King has clocked Rs.7 crore turnover in just three years. A startup is on a mission to offer ethically sourced, quality food products which are reasonably priced and produced in a hygienic environment. 

    Today, Momo King is the perfect destination for foodies who want the real taste of Himalayan momos. Some of their most beloved dishes include Kothey Momo, Soup Momo, Spinach Momo, Peanut Momo, and Hot and Spicy Momo. 

Consistency, Movement, and Creation have been constant pillars towards building a successful restaurant.
