Goenka Fresh
Goenka Fresh is a next-generation farming initiative from the GD Goenka Group, redefining agriculture through innovation and sustainability.
Our produce is cultivated using advanced hydroponic systems like NFT and substrate-based grow bags, alongside open-farm methods such as drip irrigation and plastic mulching. Supported by AI-driven irrigation, climate control and ultra-pure RO water, our farms minimise water use by up to 90% and avoid harmful chemicals entirely.
The result is nutritionally dense, residue-free and hygienically handled produce delivered with farm-to-fork freshness.
Rooted in innovation and grown sustainably, Goenka Fresh is committed to healthier food, a healthier planet and a smarter way to farm

The GD Goenka UpLearn Academy was born in the pandemic-hit world of 2020, when the unprecedented times called for nuanced platforms of wellbeing and learning.
Acknowledging this need, the GD Goenka Group initiated the UpLearn Academy to exemplify stronger bonds of learning. The live webinars for all became a ‘stairway to knowledge’, and over the months, the GD Goenka UpLearn Academy grew into a canonical platform for disseminating incisive wisdom to varied age groups of people and to people associated with multifarious domains.
