โ‚น10 More, But Worth It: A Lesson from a Momo Stall Near my college in Bhubaneswar, there are multiple food trucks and stalls and almost all of them sell the same thing: momos, Chinese, and the regular fast-food staples. But over time, Iโ€™ve noticed something interesting about how me and my friends decide where to eat. Itโ€™s not always about price. Even when money is tight, we donโ€™t automatically go for the cheapest stall. For example, one stall sells 6 steamed momos for โ‚น30. Another sells 6 kurkure momos for โ‚น40 with more mayo, spicier red chutney. Almost every time, we choose the โ‚น40 one. Why? Not because we get more pieces. Not even because itโ€™s tastier in the conventional sense. We choose it because the extra โ‚น10 feels justified. It feels like a better deal, a better value for what weโ€™re getting. And thatโ€™s the key word here:" justified value". This is exactly how Indian consumers think. They aren't necessarily looking for the lowest price. They're looking for the right trade-off between cost and perceived worth. If they can see why something costs more, theyโ€™re willing to pay for it. As a founder, this mindset is gold. Whether youโ€™re building a product, selling a service, or offering a course donโ€™t just focus on being cheap. Focus on making your pricing feel justified. Add visible value. Make the extra features felt, not just listed. Because in India, even a momo stall teaches you what pricing psychology looks like on the street.
