Friends Ashwathy P Krishnan and Jisha VV shut down their civil services academy following a slowdown during COVID-19. They started hydroponic farming and now grow lettuce, herbs, and microgreens over a 1400 sq ft unit in Ernakulam. The duo combines precision and vertical farming to maximise space usage, harvesting 60 kg of leafy greens weekly and selling lettuce at ₹450/kg.
