We attended this session at Noida Sector 59 under the guidance of Mr. Awneesh. It was a very interesting & informative session. I do box farming on my rooftop. I would like to try indoor hydroponics.
I am a professional grower, this workshop really met mine expectation. I will appreciate the effort put by the mentor for Business planning and Crop-selection. Kudos to this team.
The whole new concept of farming just got un-covered during this detailed session and Hydroponics Farm visit at Inhydro center. Lunch and hospitality provided by team is too good.
It was a nice session and I learned a lot about hydroponic technique. Thanks for a nice and excellent workshop. The true meaning of Sustainable Farming just got realized with the effective design and production mechanism provided by Inhydro. During their training Clean, Green, and Healthy way of producing daily need veggies can be achieved with these hands-on workshops.

Hi, My name is Prescilla. An organic entrepreneur and an enthusiastic urban gardener. InHydro workshop helped me with more insights on the technology behind Hydroponics. Very interactive session. I would really appreciate for another workshop either online or offline it’s fine as I had to cut short the workshop . Thank you and keep spreading knowledge.
The work shop was great! I enjoyed the lecture and loved the tour. Though I feel that the touring experience can be done better with more guides and in smaller groups. It was quite a learning experience. Before coming here I only had very basic knowledge about the subject and the experience there helped me gain much more. I also loved your business proposals. The staff was very nice and helpful. Thank you for this experience. Regards Abdullah Tarin
I came to know about this training via Facebook and so amazed with the delivery and state-of-art facilities at InHydro Noida centre. Thank you team InHydro and Mr. Awneesh for your valuable time and training materials.
I have attended the workshop on Hydroponics,. To be frank, it was one of the rarest workshops i have taken and learnt a lot about a very unique technique of farming. The workshop was very much proper with proper content. I highly recommend to everyone to gain knowledge about vertical farming as a hobby or whoever wishes to make his/her career in a very unique and highly demanding aggrotech domain. Regards : Sumit
