From the Himalayas to Shark Tank: The Inspiring Journey of Momo Mami | Aditi Madan | TEDxMRU

Blue Pine Foods founder Aditi Bhutia Madan, also known as Momo Mami, shares her inspirational story of growing up in the Darjeeling Himalayas and becoming one of India's most well-known food entrepreneurs. In this stirring speech, she discusses how her love of Himalayan food, her transformational MasterChef India experience, and her Shark Tank India appearance influenced her career. By overcoming obstacles with fortitude and determination, Aditi established a sustainable food business that lowers agro-produce waste, strengthens marginalized communities, and encourages better eating habits. Her narrative serves as an example of how vision, tenacity, and passion can produce long-lasting effects. Aditi Bhutia Madan, fondly known as Momo Mami, is the founder of BluePine Foods Pvt. Ltd. and Yangkiez by Momo Mami. A first-generation entrepreneur from Darjeeling, she rose to national fame as a top 6 finalist on MasterChef India Season 3 and the very first pitcher on Shark Tank India Season 1. Driven by her desire to bring authentic Himalayan cuisine to Delhi, Aditi built BluePine Foods around healthy, preservative-free momos while championing sustainability and social causes, including initiatives for the visually challenged. Through her ventures and leadership roles in global food forums, she continues to inspire by combining entrepreneurship with purpose—dedicated to “saving the world one momo at a time.
