About This Listing
Warnings, Oct 2026: (1) Desi Tea Moments Pvt Ltd (₹1 L paid-up) shows no AGM and no balance sheet on MCA record since it was incorporated in Jan 2021, so it has published no accounts. (2) The brand publishes no outlet list; its claim to be 'one of the largest tea brands of South India' is unbacked. (3) Its '40%–80% gross margin & ROI' claim comes with no sales or cost figures. (4) The franchise page has not been updated since Sep 2022, so it is unclear whether the brand is still signing franchisees.
