Nagpur couple earns ₹50 lakh a year growing saffron indoors

Nagpur couple Akshay Holey and Divya Lohakare Holey are growing Kashmir saffron indoors using aeroponics, a soil-free farming technique. Starting with just 100 saffron corms, they expanded their venture into a business generating annual revenue of ₹40 lakh to ₹50 lakh. They also train farmers in aeroponic cultivation and purchase the saffron produced through a buyback arrangement.
