In the latest episode of Shark Tank India Season 4, two trailblazing plant-based businesses, Nurturing Green and Kyari, went head-to-head in the season’s first intense pitch battle. Esteemed investors Anupam Mittal, Namita Thapar, Peyush Bansal, Vineeta Singh, and Kunal Bahl were on hand to assess the potential of these innovative companies. The episode was all about unique, plant-based ventures, with Nurturing Green’s founder, Annu Grover, taking the spotlight in the opening pitch.
Annu, the driving force behind Nurturing Green, shared his passion for plants, positioning them as much more than just decor. He explained, “We’re not just selling plants; we’re offering a lifetime of memories. These plants are more than just gifts—they bring joy, comfort, and peace into our customers’ lives.” With over 14 years in the business, Nurturing Green has made a mark in home decor, gardening, and corporate gifting, creating a loyal customer following thanks to their unique approach.

A touching moment followed when Kunal Bahl, an old acquaintance of Annu, shared a personal connection. “I met Annu about 10 years ago when he was just starting out in Cybercity,” Kunal recalled. “What stood out to me was how, year after year, he would send me updates, and I always took the time to read them.” This nod to long-term dedication and building relationships really resonated.

With no other offers, Annu happily accepted Vineeta’s deal, marking a major achievement for Nurturing Green.
