Sonia Pardasani — Founder of BageechaBox and India's leading microgreens educator

Who is Sonia Pardasani?

Sonia Pardasani is the founder and lead educator of BageechaBox, and India's most trusted microgreens educator. Based in New Delhi, she has trained over 1,000 home growers and entrepreneurs across India since founding BageechaBox in 2020.

She is an award-winning educator with 28+ years of experience in teaching and digital innovation, who pivoted to urban farming after a personal health journey led her to discover microgreens — and the near-total absence of practical, India-specific growing guidance.

What Makes Sonia Pardasani Different

Sonia is the only microgreens educator in India who has systematically cracked growing through all of Delhi's extreme seasons:

Delhi summers (40–47°C) — bottom watering techniques, heat-tolerant variety selection, early harvesting to beat heat stress
Monsoon humidity — airflow management, mold prevention, adjusted watering schedules
North Indian winters — cold-tolerant varieties, temperature management in unheated spaces

This India-first knowledge — not copied from Western guides — is what her 1,000+ students value most.
