They first sold small plants like succulents and houseplants on the internet. Right Now they have a huge Varieties with different categories including Indoor Plants, Cactus and More.

Most nurseries, or places that sell plants, have problems such as plants getting hurt during shipping. But Plant Orbit did things differently. They made sure the plants were healthy and packed carefully so they wouldn’t get damaged. Also, they helped customers after buying by giving them easy steps to take care of their plants.

Plant Orbit knew that many people who buy plants for the first time feel worried about how to take care of them. So, they gave simple guides and tips to help. This made customers trust Plant Orbit more and feel happy to be part of a group that loves plants too.

Beyond Business: Empowering Farmers
Plant Orbit is not just about selling plants. It also cares a lot about helping people who grow plants. From the start, the company worked with local farmers and women’s groups to help them grow plants in a better way.

They teach farmers and women how to grow more plants, take care of nurseries, and farm in ways that don’t harm the earth. This helps these people earn money and live better lives. In places like the Himalayan mountains, farming is very hard. Plant Orbit’s way helps farmers grow more than just regular crops. Women also get a chance to earn money and support their families.

By selling these plants to city people who want them, Plant Orbit links farmers with new customers. This shows that businesses can be good for people and nature at the same time.

One popular book is called “Roadmap to Your Healthy Succulents”. It teaches people how to care for their plants with easy words and stories.

By doing this, Plant Orbit is not just selling plants but also teaching people how to be better plant owners. This helps the company grow and reach more people.

Future Plans
Plant Orbit Aims to grow bigger. They plan to work more in the Himalayan states where many farmers live and where many kinds of plants grow.

Gagan says, “We want to give farmers steady ways to make money and help more people live in a green way.”

The company wants to bring new kinds of plants, offer more training to farmers, and build a better online store that can serve many customers. Plant Orbit wants to grow its business but never forget to help farmers and protect nature.
