In the heart of rural Bengaluru, Lohith Reddy, a former engineer, traded his city life for soil, sweat, and sunshine. What began as a bold experiment soon blossomed into a thriving flower farm earning nearly ₹7 lakh every month. His journey from engineer to entrepreneur proves that when passion meets purpose, even the simplest ideas can bloom into big success.
The Beginning: When Dreams Took Root
After years of working in engineering, Lohith felt stuck in the monotony of corporate life. He wanted something meaningful — something that would let him work close to nature while creating employment in his hometown. Driven by curiosity and confidence, he invested ₹15 lakh to build a small polyhouse, a modern greenhouse designed for year-round cultivation of flowers.
Many doubted his decision. Friends warned him about the risks of farming. But Lohith had one clear vision: to show that modern agriculture, when combined with technology, could be as profitable as any corporate venture.
Turning Investment into Income
With his savings, Lohith set up a one-acre polyhouse equipped with drip irrigation, temperature control, and quality soil beds. He focused on cultivating high-demand flowers like gerberas, marigolds, and chrysanthemums — known for their beauty and steady market demand.
Within months, his farm transformed into a lush paradise of color. His disciplined approach, strong technical understanding, and marketing sense paid off quickly. Soon, Bengaluru’s event planners, florists, and wholesalers were lining up for his blooms.
Today, Lohith’s flower business earns around ₹7 lakh per month, proving that agriculture can be both innovative and profitable when done smartly.
Inside Lohith’s Flower Business
Lohith’s farm sits on about an acre of land just outside Bengaluru. The area is filled with rows of colorful gerberas, marigolds, and roses, each chosen carefully for their high market demand and durability during transport.
He runs his business like a tech startup — tracking every cost, optimizing yields, and analyzing market data weekly. His operational model is simple yet strategic:
- Investment: ₹15 lakh initial setup, later expanded with profits.
- Monthly Expenses: Around ₹2.5–₹3 lakh (labor, fertilizers, electricity, transport).
- Revenue: ₹7 lakh+ per month, depending on seasonal demand.
- Net Profit: Around ₹3.5–₹4 lakh monthly.
His main clients are wholesalers, wedding planners, decorators, and retailers across Bengaluru and nearby cities. Orders come directly through word of mouth, WhatsApp groups, and bulk market networks.
Farming the Modern Way
Unlike traditional farmers, Lohith relies heavily on technology-driven farming. His polyhouse system uses automated irrigation and precise temperature control to ensure consistent flower quality throughout the year. He also adopts organic pest control and sustainable soil practices to keep his farm eco-friendly.
His business is not just about flowers; it’s about redefining rural entrepreneurship. Lohith has inspired many young professionals to look at farming as a genuine business opportunity rather than a last resort.
