Q3.So you switched professions from a regular 9-5 and ended up growing organic plants … How and why?
A3.I’ve studied economics and was working with my husband who is an investor in the stock market prior to starting this Urban Farming Company. We as a family wanted to set up an Agro/Food related business. I came to realise that there is a lot of real estate in urban areas like rooftops, backyards, balconies etc. that can be used to grow edible plants. This and the need for unadulterated food led me to start this venture about a year and a half back.
