Look closely at OUMI’s logo. Inside the “O” is a sacred Māori symbol called the Koru. It represents the unfurling silver fern frond.
This symbol isn’t decorative. It’s our philosophy in spiral form. From Odisha’s temple kitchens to Bengal’s culinary excellence—OUMI spirals forward while honoring heritage. We bridge the rich, ancient traditions of the past with the fast-paced, premium dining needs of the future.
The Koru is a treasure. We are building a legacy brand for generations—creating jobs, empowering communities, and proving that profit and purpose belong together. We don't just serve food; we build ecosystems that sustain and uplift everyone involved.
"It might seem surprising that an Indian fast food brand uses a Māori symbol. But the philosophy reveals a beautiful truth."
Both Māori and Indian cultures understand food as medicine, respect ancestral wisdom, and value community. With OUMI’s expansion to Auckland, New Zealand, the Koru becomes a gesture of respect. We are not just "Indian food"; we are a wellness philosophy that honors the heritage of every land we touch.
The Koru spirals endlessly, symbolizing new life, growth, strength, and peace. So does OUMI. Our journey of culinary innovation and community empowerment is continuous and ever-expanding.
No. While our roots lie deep in the culinary traditions of Odisha and Bengal, we view ourselves as a global wellness and culinary philosophy. We adapt, respect, and honor the lands we expand to, like Auckland, New Zealand.
