Job Description

Company: MomsMade - fast-growing D2C + Quick Commerce brand building Indias online Haldiram.


Location : On-site (Bangalore)


Type : Full Time


Objective: Set up our in-house Quality Lab from scratch, ensure 100% consistency in our hero products (like Thekua), and lead NPD for new traditional snacks.


What You Will Do

1. Lab Setup & Quality Control (QC)

  • Build the Lab: Identify, procure, and set up essential lab equipment (Moisture analyzers, pH meters, texture analyzers, etc.).
  • Inward QC: Create strict specifications for all raw materials (flour, oil, ghee, spices) and test every incoming batch before it hits the kitchen.
  • Outward QC: Test finished batches for moisture, texture, and rancidity before packaging.

2. Process Standardization (The Core)

  • SOP Creation: Convert "cooks intuition" into scientific Standard Operating Procedures (Time, Temperature, Weight).
  • Consistency: Ensure products (starting with Thekua) taste exactly the same every single time, regardless of who cooks them.
  • Oil Management: Monitor TPC (Total Polar Compounds) and standardized frying cycles to ensure safety and taste.

3. NPD & R&D

  • New Products: Develop shelf-stable recipes for new traditional snacks (Namkeen, Mathri, etc.) that match "Mom's hand taste."
  • Shelf Life: Solve for crispness and rancidity to extend shelf life without using harmful preservatives.
  • Packaging: Work on packaging solutions that protect against moisture and breakage during Quick Commerce delivery.
Who We Need
  • Background: B.Tech / M.Tech in Food Technology.
  • Experience: 25 years in Fried Snacks / Namkeen / Traditional Indian Sweets.
  • Must-Have Skill: Experience setting up a basic QC lab and handling instrumentation.
  • Mindset: You don't just sit in the lab; you are comfortable on the production floor working with chefs and staff.
