Ashrith Urban Farming Solutions Privatelimited

We started Ashrith Urban Farming Solutions Privatelimited because we wanted to see more green stuff in the city. Living around Kompally, especially near PMR Park Wood, you notice how everything is getting paved over. We are based right here at Villa No 20 on Medchal Road. It’s a quiet spot, really. We spend most of our time figuring out how to grow food in small spaces. It’s not always easy and we make mistakes. Sometimes the plants don't grow right or the setup looks a bit messy. That is just how it goes with farming. We handle things here every day, checking on the dirt and the seeds. If you are driving down Medchal Road, you probably pass us without thinking about it. We aren't a big factory or anything fancy. It is just a few of us working on urban gardens. We started small and we are still pretty much in that same stage. There is always a lot of mud around the place and our hands are usually dirty. People ask if we have a big office, but mostly it is just the space we have in Kompally. We deal with real plants and real dirt, so things get cluttered. We don't have a big staff, so when you talk to us, you're talking to the people actually doing the work. It’s a bit of a scramble sometimes to get everything done, but we keep at it day after day.
