Shouvik Dhar had always been passionate about science and innovation. After graduating from NIT and working with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), his life took an unexpected yet flavourful turn. Rather than sticking to a traditional path in research and development, he decided to bring something far more delicious into the world—momos.

In 2016, Shouvik founded Zomoz, a Hyderabad-based food startup with a singular vision: to serve authentic, home-style momos with unmatched quality and efficiency. What began as a small food venture soon transformed into a full-blown food-tech revolution thanks to his engineering acumen.

At the heart of Zomoz’s success lies Shouvik’s automated momo-making machine—a game-changing innovation that can produce lakhs of momos daily with consistent taste, hygiene, and speed. Combining his technical background and love for food, Shouvik developed this machine to solve one of the biggest problems in scaling a momo business: manual labour and inconsistent quality.

This machine doesn’t just wrap momos at scale; it ensures every piece is packed with flavour, precision, and tradition. As demand surged, so did production, and Zomoz quickly expanded its footprint across multiple Indian cities and even internationally in the Middle East.

From tech parks to malls and cloud kitchens, Zomoz outlets are now a familiar name for momo lovers. The brand’s focus on freshness, hygiene, and innovation has helped it clock an annual revenue of Rs 25 crore, and the numbers continue to grow.

More than just a momo brand, Zomoz is a model for how tech-driven entrepreneurship can disrupt even the most traditional sectors like food. With over 300 employees and ambitious expansion plans, Shouvik Dhar’s journey is a perfect blend of science, spice, and success.

What started as a craving turned into a Rs 25 crore empire—powered by passion, precision, and the perfect plate of momos.
