Over a decade ago, Gotham Greens CEO, Viraj Puri, had a bold vision that would reboot indoor agriculture with AI, data-driven hydroponic systems that would run on 100% renewable electric powered greenhouses using 90% less water and land. Started on a rooftop in Brooklyn, Viraj expanded his vision into a scalable Certified B Corporation, with a nationwide network of greenhouses that grow and distribute leafy greens, herbs, salad dressings and sauces. With a 26% year-over-year sales increase in leafy greens (vs. 3% category growth) Gotham is just getting started and is positioned well to expands its market reach and product mix. Fresh off his $310 M Series E round, with BMO Impact Investment Fund, Ares Management, Commonfund, RockCreek, Kimco Realty Corporation, Manna Tree Partners and The Silverman Group—and the acquisition of FreshH2O—I invited Viraj to the Reboot Chronicles podcast to unpack his growth plans and learn how Gotham is rebooting the food industry.
