BRAND STRATEGY
Dipsum Momos is crafted for those passionate about Momo, and value authenticity to boggle the buds of people from across the world with the traditional delight from Tibet and Nepal. The brand brings you authentic-tasting frozen Momo with a variety of sauces made with the original herbs that have been defining the taste of the Himalayan Momo since historical times. We spread the luscious taste of Momo, a traditional Nepalese Tibetan delicacy, to your homes in frozen form and easy to prepare. We are advocates of healthy living! Like the brand name, “Dipsum” is a fusion of the traditional name of Momo- DIMSUM and the word DIP (the brand offers a variety of sauce dips). We bring a series of tasty, drool-worthy, snackable bit-sized varieties of Momo and dips.
