Three Reasons Why Microgreens is the Smartest Urban Agri-Business
Low investment to start
Begin from a spare room or balcony with a starter budget most people already have. No costly land purchase or massive agricultural equipment needed.
Fast turnaround
Most microgreens are ready to harvest and sell within 7–14 days of sowing. Quick production cycles mean rapid revenue, fast learning, and positive cash flow.
Taught by a practitioner
Mohit built Greenu's own farms from scratch; this is what actually worked, not theory. Learn the real mistakes to avoid, exact tray costs, and genuine buyer psychology.
