Frequently Asked Questions
Everything investors and partners usually ask us — from operations and market strategy to returns and risk.
Project & Operations
We are reviving a proven hydroponic & protected-cultivation farm at Edaiyarpakkam (TN), moving to a premium crop mix: English cucumber, microgreens, leafy greens, and Lakadong turmeric, with traceability and B2B-first distribution.
The farm is at Edaiyarpakkam, Tamil Nadu. It operated successfully before a cyclone event; refurbishment (cladding, fertigation, benches, electricals) is planned immediately post-investment.
- English cucumber (core hydroponic line)
- Microgreens (daily harvest & dispatch)
- Leafy greens (supplementary, high-turn)
- Lakadong turmeric (premium, nursery-to-field program)
Protected cultivation, fertigation automation, batch testing (residues/curcumin for Lakadong), and staggered cycles enable 365-day supply with consistent grading and freshness.
Investment & Financials
We are raising ~₹3.0 Cr for refurbishment, crop inputs, nursery setup, and working capital. We are flexible between equity and/or investor debt; final terms are negotiated per investor.
Aligned with our financials: microgreens revenue from Day-30, vegetables stabilise by Month-6, first Lakadong cheque ~Month-7, and steady-state revenue ~₹5.2 Cr/year from Year-3 in the base case. Exit and distributions are discussed individually.
We prioritize capital efficiency (existing infra), diversified crop mix, strong B2B channels, and policy tailwinds. Instruments (equity, CCDs, revenue-share) can be structured to match investor risk appetite.
Market & Sales
B2B-first: quick-commerce & modern retail for vegetables; APEDA/Spices Board aligned buyers for Lakadong turmeric (domestic premium + export).
- Existing infrastructure → faster restart, lower capex/ton
- Balanced portfolio: cash-flow veg + high-value Lakadong
- Traceability & testing to meet modern trade/ex-requirements
Risk & Sustainability
Pre-cyclone, the farm ran well. Post-cyclone degradation requires refurbishment (polyhouse cladding, fertigation, benches, power). The plan is a 0–3 month refurb, then quick crop ramp-up.
- Hydroponics (lower water footprint) + rainwater reuse
- Solar-assisted power; hygienic grading & packing
- Batch testing for residues & curcumin (Lakadong)
- Organic certification roadmap post-restoration
