Mommy's Kitchen

Pratibha Kanoi is Season 1's most age-defying founder — a 67–68-year-old grandmother of four who discovered, during a pandemic lockdown, that the pizzas she had been baking for family for decades were Bollywood-celebrity-quality, and whose sons transformed that discovery into a three-city cloud kitchen business. Her life story — born in Burma, educated in Bangkok, married in 1974, gifted an oven, and building a startup 46 years later — is one of Season 1's most human and ultimately poignant origin stories. Pratibha Kanoi is the founder of Mommy's Kitchen. She was born in Burma and studied in Bangkok, where she got exposure to international cuisine. She loves cooking since her childhood. When she was married, her husband gifted them a big oven in which she made full-plate-sized pizzas for her family and it was liked by everyone. After that, her sons Vikas and Vishal saw it as a business opportunity and turned it into a business model.

Mommy's Kitchen is a premium artisanal vegetarian pizza and Italian pasta cloud kitchen brand — founded in lockdown 2020, operating from residential and family-affiliated kitchens in Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru, delivering thin-crust whole-wheat pizzas standardised from Pratibha Kanoi's personal recipes, targeting Mumbai's affluent and health-conscious upper-middle and premium segment with a product that differentiates on quality, authenticity, and the "home-cooked" emotional resonance of a grandmother's recipe.'
