Green My Life began after the founders bought a house with a garden and developed an interest in gardening. The transcript says it started with one additional employee and grew from a two-person operation to about 200 people, providing landscaping and garden maintenance. The business was bootstrapped, and the founder described it as doing well before a separate food idea emerged from concern about the produce they ate. Green My Life is the named landscaping business in this account; the later online food marketplace is not named clearly enough to attach its reported farmer, family, or revenue figures here. That distinction matters because the landscaping operation is the replicable service model: sell recurring upkeep and garden work, learn the customer’s practical needs on site, and build a team that can deliver consistently. The transcript gives no revenue figure for Green My Life, so its scale is evidenced by headcount rather than sales.

These are interview statements, not independently verified records. No Green My Life revenue or profit figure is stated. The nearby figures of 7,000-plus farmers, 35,000 families, and ₹16 crore-plus annual revenue refer to a later unnamed food marketplace in the conversation and are not attributed to Green My Life.
