About Us
Our Story
Living Greens was started in 2013, as India's first Urban Organic Farming Company, with the simple assumption that if un-used urban spaces (like rooftops, empty plots, kitchen gardens, lawns, balconies etc) could be converted into organic food growing spaces, we could not only cool down our cities but also significantly improve the air quality.
Today, besides becoming the largest Urban Farming Company in the country, we have also become the first company in the country that offers Urban Farming Concepts as Urban Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to Urban Local Bodies, NGOs, CSR teams and large institutions.
Prateek Tiwari is the Founder & CEO of The Living Greens. With a degree in Agriculture Engineering (from the College of Technology and Agriculture Engineering) and an MBA in International Business (from the prestigious Indian Institute of Foreign Trade), Prateek has served in blue-chip agri-based companies like Mahindra, Reliance Fresh, ITC and Walmart (India). Between his corporate tenure, he took a 3-year sabbatical to create Paras Precision Organics Farming Pvt Ltd, which offered farmers organic inputs through agri-business centres. He left the corporate sector to create Living Greens Organics Pvt Ltd in 2013.

- Replace at least 10% of all billboards in a city with Living Billboards that not only attract customer attention but also purify the air without using any energy
