Agro2o Smart Garden is a fully automated device that allows a user to grow fresh and healthy herbs, veggies, medicinal plants year-round without any harmful chemicals. To setup a Smart Garden, users just have to follow a simple process: choose what they want to grow, fill the water tank, and insert the pre-seeded pods and nutrients into the Smart Garden. It´s that simple to enjoy a part of nature inside the house.

Origin

Yash Vyas, the Founder of Agro2o, had the inspiration while working in Dubai, where the idea of a smart garden connected well to the kind of terrain Dubai has. He figured out the concept of Hydroponics technology and wanted to align that in a way that plants of all kinds could grow easily. With a power team, Vyas worked on the minutest of details to not only make a product but also make sure it reached audiences.

A Combo of Nature & Tech

Agro2o has combined both nature and advanced technology in harmony to achieve the convenience of growing plants without worrying about open space, sun light, a busy schedule, or not having a green thumb.

The agtech startup is aiming to make Hydroponics accessible and affordable to everyone, whether it is an individual or an institution or commercial farming. In a normal garden setting, it is necessary to have a garden space in order to grow plants, but with Agro2o Smart Garden, users only have to decide where to put the system.

A Faster Garden

When we grow a plant in our home it takes a lot of time to grow, but with Agro2o, plant growth rate is around 4-5 times faster, because of their soil less technology. Also, plants that require sunlight can also be grown indoors.
