• “Millennials are at a life stage where they are just renting a house or buying a flat, and investing in plants for their homes. It aligns with their climate change discourse and is also Instagram-worthy,” says Siddhant Bhalinge, 28, the founder of Ugaoo, an online plant nursery from Pune, India. Bhalinge goes on to say that “At times, it is a statement about their environmental consciousness, at other times, it is a means to relieve stress."
