Inside India’s Top Microgreens Training Program: What Ravindra G Learned from GKVK Scientists

Updated: 16 minutes ago

Learning Never Stops... Even for the Best


On June 16, 2025, Ravindra G, India’s top microgreens mentor and founder of mU Greens and Greens, walked into the STR Training Hall at NSP, GKVK Bengaluru, not as a guest speaker, not by invitation, but by intention.


Driven by a relentless commitment to excellence, Ravindra G took a proactive step to deepen his understanding of seed science, soilless agriculture, and the scientific frameworks that influence India's agri-entrepreneurial future. This visit was not part of any formal collaboration but was a mission of self-driven learning. Why? So that the mU Greens and Greens Microgreens Training Program, the most trusted and top-rated in India, continues to offer the most relevant, science-backed, and result-oriented training in the country.

"True learning happens not in formal titles, but in silent observation and intentional presence." Ravindra G

Who Were the Experts Behind the Session?

This high-level workshop was led by India’s foremost seed and soil scientists, whose groundbreaking research is shaping the next generation of sustainable farming:

  • Dr. Madusudhan K, Special Officer (Seeds), All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Seed Technology. Authority on seed treatment techniques and certified seed quality control frameworks.

  • Dr. Vishwanath K, Professor of Seed Science, Principal Investigator (Soilless Agri Project), UAS Bangalore, is one of India's most influential advocates of soilless agriculture and hydroponic experimentation.

  • Dr. Bhuvana Sharma, Scientist, INDX Lab, NCBS–C-CAMP. A pioneer in cellular agriculture and biological platform integration.

  • Dr. Nethra N, Assistant Professor, AICRP on Seed Technology, GKVK. Specializes in priming methods, biofortification, and germination enhancement.

These scientists represent the bridge between laboratory-level innovation and field-level applicability.


Research Meets Reality: What Ravindra G Learned

The goal was not to observe for theory’s sake, but to measure how institutional scientific knowledge translates to real-world agribusiness. Ravindra G attended as a learner to benchmark research knowledge against the hands-on, practical, entrepreneur-friendly training offered at mU Greens and Greens.


Key Learnings from GKVK:

  1. Seed Vigour and Germination Rate are crucial in microgreens farming to standardize yield quality.

  2. Seed priming, when paired with cost-effective alternatives, can improve root biomass and shelf life.

  3. Use of soilless media substrates and sterilized media plays a crucial role in pathogen management.

  4. Soil biochemistry significantly impacts microgreens’ nutrient uptake and secondary metabolite production.


    "Science must move from the lab bench to the microgreen farmer’s tray." Ravindra G


The Disconnect We Observed (And Why Our Training Bridges That Gap)

While the scientific content was powerful, Ravindra G noticed something: the communication gap between lab-level knowledge and the aspiring microgreens entrepreneur.

Academic rigor often lacks actionable simplicity. That’s where mU Greens and Greens stands out.

  • We translate complex research into practical training modules.

  • We eliminate jargon and replace it with easy-to-understand application steps.

  • We test every recommended process on our own farm before teaching it to others.

We’re not just aware of the science. We use it, test it, simplify it, and teach it.


Why This Visit Matters to YOU

This isn’t about a mentor attending a lecture. It’s about protecting the integrity of your learning.

The microgreens industry in India is filled with misinformation:

  • Unrealistic profit projections

  • Low-quality seeds and growing media

  • Generic, one-size-fits-all training programs

By engaging with the scientific community directly, Ravindra G ensures:

  • Our curriculum remains authentic, current, and field-tested

  • Our students get clarity, not confusion

  • Our brand remains India’s most trusted name in microgreens
