Startup’s Objective

The startup intends to offer pesticide and residue-free exotic veggies and herbs through soilless cultivation.

Market Need

There’s a conspicuous lack of suppliers for exotic vegetables and herbs for the high-end hotels and restaurants n Guwahati, so much so that they have to procure them from Delhi, which increases the cost price three times. Growing exotic herbs in the local conditions requires special climate control and better care that cannot be achieved in the conventioal land-based farming.

Product/Service description

Niyor Agritek aims at growing exotic herbs and veggies like red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, basil leaf, parsley, Chinese cabbage, iceberg lettuce, Romanian lettuce and broccoli in the landscape through the use of hydroponics. It would usher in easy availability of the produce for the businesses at a much lower price.

Customers/Users

High-end hotels and restaurants across Northeast India.

Revenue Model
