Success Stories of Leaf N’ Life: From a Small Idea to a Green Revolution
In 2023, in the heart of Lucknow, a dream began to sprout — a dream not just to build a business, but to create a healthier and more sustainable way of living.
That dream became Leaf N’ Life.
This is our story — of how one person’s passion to bring freshness, health, and growth to people’s lives turned into one of India’s most inspiring microgreens success stories.
How It All Started
Like many young professionals, I was working in the IT industry — but something inside me wanted to do more.
I wanted to create something meaningful, something that contributes to people’s health and happiness, not just codes and screens.
In 2023, I decided to take a leap of faith and quit my IT job to start something entirely new — a business built on nature, nutrition, and purpose.
That’s when Leaf N’ Life was born — with just a few trays of microgreens, endless curiosity, and the determination to grow.
Learning and Growing with Microgreens
The journey wasn’t easy. Microgreens were still new to most people in India, especially in a tier-2 city like Lucknow.
There were challenges everywhere — from setting up the right growing conditions to convincing chefs and restaurants about the value of these tiny greens.
But what kept us going was passion and patience.
We studied each variety — radish, mustard, pea shoots, sunflower, basil, amaranth, broccoli, beetroot, and more — experimenting with flavors, textures, and nutrients.
We learned how light, water, and timing can transform a seed into a powerful superfood.
Slowly, through perseverance and innovation, we mastered the craft of growing high-quality, flavorful, and nutrient-rich microgreens — all grown locally and sustainably.
Building a Business from the Ground Up
From those early trays, Leaf N’ Life grew into a full-scale microgreens brand trusted by restaurants, hotels, and cafes across Lucknow and Uttar Pradesh.
We started small, delivering fresh greens ourselves, talking to chefs face-to-face, and building relationships one partnership at a time.
Today, we are proud to collaborate with more than 40+ restaurant and hotel partners who trust our quality, consistency, and freshness.
Our greens now add flavor, color, and nutrition to some of the finest dishes served across the region.
But our story isn’t just about growing microgreens — it’s about growing people.
Empowering Others to Grow with Us
One of our proudest achievements is how we’ve helped hundreds of people across India learn to grow their own microgreens — right from their homes.
Through workshops, training sessions, and guidance, Leaf N’ Life empowers others to start profitable microgreens ventures, helping them build sustainable incomes while promoting healthier eating habits in their communities.
We believe success means nothing unless it’s shared and multiplied.
Our Vision for the Future
Our mission is clear — to become India’s leading organic and sustainable food brand, known for freshness, purity, and purpose.
At Leaf N’ Life, we’re not just growing greens; we’re growing a movement — a movement toward:
Healthier eating habits
Cleaner farming practices
Local and sustainable food systems
Empowering small entrepreneurs across India
The future is green, and we’re committed to leading this change — one leaf at a time.
A Message to Dreamers and Doers
If there’s one lesson from our journey, it’s this — passion and consistency can grow anything, even from the smallest seed of an idea.
From quitting a comfortable IT job to building a thriving business in a tier-2 city, our journey proves that dreams rooted in purpose always find sunlight.
At Leaf N’ Life, we continue to grow — stronger, greener, and together.
