The startup plans to use the assets to expand its regional presence with centers and garden focuses in Bangalore, Delhi, Kolkata and collaborate with international plant companies to introduce a more extensive range of colorful plants and premium plant care items to the Indian market.

Established in 2015 by Siddhant Bhalinge, Ugaao offers an array of items including, live indoor plants, planters, kitchen garden seeds and plant care items through its site as well as marketplaces like Amazon, Flipkart, and so forth

The Pune-based firm has satisfied in excess of 1,000,000 orders in the last six years and aims to deliver at least 500k plants a month by end of the following year.

According to the company, it has tackled a major issue in the store network of the online gardening industry by using innovative, jam filled soil blends and reusable tough packaging that can withstand a payload of 50 kg and 8-10 days in transit from nursery to destination.
