We have all seen momo sellers outside our schools and colleges, right? Many of us have thought about setting up a stall and wondered just how much we could earn doing it. Well, a popular Instagram content creator recently shared a video exploring exactly that, giving us a peek into the earnings of a momo seller. The clip begins with the influencer enthusiastically declaring that he would see how much money he could make in a day by selling momos. He started by watching a momo vendor and learning from him, even jokingly asking, “Bhaiya aap mujhe kaam pe rakh loge?” (Brother, will you hire me?).

“Shop rent, labour costs, their stay costs (which need to be paid for by food labour), other than these electricity, water charges, pilferage, and so many other things are there. Don't believe everything you see. Or else just be one person selling and making it on the road,” the user wrote.
