In recent years, India has witnessed a burgeoning interest in alternative farming methods, particularly in hydroponics and aeroponics. These innovative approaches to agriculture have not only captured the attention of entrepreneurs and researchers but have also sparked a transformation in how we perceive food production and sustainability. As these methods gain traction, they promise to revolutionize the agricultural landscape of the nation. Started as an Agri-Tech start-up company, Indoor Harvest Farms believes in a modern approach to future farming and is working together to bring you and your family the freshest and most delicious produce.

“The journey towards embracing hydroponics and aeroponics in India has been incredibly personal and communal for me. It all started with a curiosity-driven exploration of more sustainable agricultural practices. Inspired by my personal experiences, where some of my engineering friends and I conducted a project on agriculture in 2018, I began delving into the world of soilless farming. Witnessing our final-year project evolve into a groundbreaking venture in IoT-based farming and hydroponics sparked my passion for these methods. Together, we are pioneering a new era in Indian agriculture, laying the foundation for a greener and more efficient future”, explains Chetan, Founder & CEO, Indoor Harvest Farms. Furthermore, the growth of hydroponics and aeroponics has not been limited to individual endeavors.
Across the country, a surge in interest and adoption of these methods is evident. From Bangalore to various metropolitan cities, hydroponic farms have sprung up, demonstrating a shift towards more innovative and resource-efficient farming practices. However, amidst this growth, several challenges have emerged, including cost factors and the need for skilled expertise. Convincing consumers of the value of hydroponically grown produce has been paramount, highlighting the importance of education and awareness in driving market acceptance.
