Momos Seller Claims He Earns 1 Lakh ADay, Says He Makes More Than B.Com Graduates; Internet Reacts
Buzz across social media intensified this week after an Instagram creator spent a full day at a popular street-side momos stall in Bengaluru and came away with surprising earnings claims. Content creator Cassy Pareira shared her experience at the well-known KK Momos outlet, suggesting that the vendor’s income might surpass that of many college graduates — a revelation that quickly set the internet on fire. NewsX, however, clarified that these earnings have not been independently verified.
Pareira’s video captures the stall’s nonstop rush of customers. While assisting the vendor, she observed how fast the plates were flying off the steamer. According to her, “in literally just one hour, we sold 118 plates of momos.” With each plate priced at ₹110 and an estimated 950 plates sold daily, the stall’s revenue, she claimed, comes close to ₹1 lakh per day — nearly ₹31 lakh a month.
She also pointed out that this impressive income is built on long working hours and consistent effort, highlighting how real-world earnings in the informal sector can sometimes surpass those of formally educated individuals. Pareira compared the vendor’s alleged income to that of “a typical B.Com graduate,” sparking debates about the value of education versus entrepreneurship.
Reactions online have ranged from amused to outright skeptical. One commenter questioned the math: “In 1 hour, he sold 118 plates of momos? Seriously?” Another doubted the pricing, asking, “Who’s buying 110rs per plate?” Some dismissed the entire claim, saying, “That’s truly a lie, no way a plate of momo costs 110 in road side and no way he could sell 900+ plates.”
Jokes also poured in, with one user quipping, “Bruhh Ambani got compition.” Others focused on practical concerns like taxes: “Does he pays tax?” A subtle dig at the job market appeared too: “Everyone earn more than a BCom graduate.” And disbelief echoed in comments like, “Fam, that’s not even what I earn in a year.”
