About us
At Ugaoo, we’ve always believed plants are more than décor — they’re companions, healers, and reminders of what truly matters. What began as a small idea sparked by a plant on a windowsill has grown into India’s leading gardening brand, backed by marquee investors like DSG Consumer Partners and V3 Ventures. From our 25-acre farm in Talegaon to a thriving D2C store and retail presence across Pune, Mumbai, and Bangalore — we’re building an ecosystem that brings nature closer to homes, offices, and communities
