History.
The founders of Wow! Momo, Sagar Jagdish Daryani and Binod Kumar Homagai, first met each other at St. Xavier's College during their undergrad. With an initial amount of ₹30,000, they started the venture in 2008 at the age of 21. Wow! Momo began as a 6' by 6' kiosk in a Spencer’s, which was one of their initial stores (the other one being a kiosk inside a Big Bazaar on rent for 18% of revenue share per month). While Daryani looked after brand expansion, marketing and retail operations, Homagai focused more on production and quality control. They were later joined by another St. Xavier's alumnus and friend Shah Miftaur Rahman, who took the responsibility of cost control and finance. 
Wow! Momo, in June of 2017, managed to raise ₹44 crore from Lighthouse funds and through investments by Indian Angel Network. A year later, Fabindia's managing director, William Bissell, invested ₹3 crore (US $440,000) in the company, which helped Wow! Momo reach a valuation of ₹300 crore (US $45 million). And in September of 2019, after an investment by Tiger Global Management of ₹130 crore (US $23 million), the valuation of the company crossed ₹860 crore (US $120 million), which led to the opening of more outlets in commercial locations like malls and tech parks. 
During the coronavirus pandemic, Wow! Momo funky entered into a strategic partnership with Café Coffee Day, in which they decided to share outlet space along with costs and revenue.
