Introduction
In 2017, with nothing more than ₹1 lakh, a heart full of ambition, and a small room in his Dehradun home, Mitresh Sharma started his small venture with a big dream. Today, that
humble start-up is known as First Bud Organics, an internet-first brand that offers a wide range of organic groceries and gourmet products, including tea, honey, turmeric powder, mango pickle, and more.
With annual revenue in millions and a growing presence across India, First Bud Organics is not just thriving but also expanding globally, starting with Dubai and Europe. This is the story of how a digital marketer turned entrepreneur changed the face of organic food retail in
India
The Birth of a Visionary Idea
Before founding First Bud Organics, Mitresh Sharma faced a tough period of unemployment after his first job in digital marketing. Rather than let failure define him, he
chose to rise, blending his marketing skills with a vision that would touch the lives of both farmers and consumers.
Realizing the potential of online retail, he decided to sell something meaningful—products that contribute to health and well-being. And what better choice than organic foods, which are increasingly in demand as consumers become more health-conscious?
Starting with a small investment of ₹1 lakh, Mitresh set up shop in his own house, leveraging his digital marketing skills to build an online presence. That small room wasn’t just an office; it was a space filled with late nights, silent prayers, and unwavering determination. Each product wasn’t just packaged food but a promise of quality, health, and a better tomorrow. His goal was to provide pure, chemical-free food products that connect the heart of consumers with the soul of farmers.
First Bud Organics is a connecting link between dedicated farmers and conscious consumers. The company partners with local Kisans (farmers), making sure they receive fair
compensation while delivering the purest, most natural, and nourishing ingredients to consumers.
A Digital-First Success Story
With his digital marketing know-how, Mitresh transformed First Bud Organics into a digital-first powerhouse, now delivering to over 500+ pin codes across India. The brand’s
popularity is fueled by its firm commitment to quality, sustainability, and customer satisfaction.
In a market crowded with competitors like Two Brothers Organic Farms, Natureland Organics, and Conscious Foods, First Bud Organics stands out with its transparent
sourcing, ethical partnerships, and innovative product range. Their efforts even caught the eye of entrepreneur Ritesh Agarwal, who became the brand’s only angel investor, giving the business a further boost toward success.
Shark Tank India: A moment in spotlight
Recently featured on Shark Tank Season 4 (they also appeared in Shark Tank Season 3),
First Bud Organics has received nationwide recognition, further solidifying its status as a
trailblazer in the organic food industry. The brand’s success story is not just about revenue,
but about building trust, maintaining purity, and pursuing excellence.
Quality and Sustainability Mindset
First Bud Organics is not merely focused on selling products; it is committed to a larger
cause—sustainability and well-being. By promoting chemical-free, wholesome food, they are
not just enhancing consumer health but also contributing to a healthier planet. Their
dedication to organic farming practices sees to it that every product is safe, pure, and
nourishing.
With eyes set on global markets, including Dubai and Europe, First Bud Organics is on the
path to becoming one of India’s largest sellers of packaged organic produce within the next
five years. Their journey from a small room to a multi-crore enterprise is a testimony to the
power of vision, perseverance, and ethical business practices.
The story of First Bud Organics is a shining example of how a simple idea, when nurtured
with passion and integrity, can grow into a phenomenon. From overcoming unemployment to
building a brand that resonates with health-conscious consumers, Mitresh Sharma has
shown that with the right mindset, even the smallest of beginnings can lead to monumental
success.
Today, First Bud Organics isn’t just about selling food; but about building
connections—between farmers and consumers, health and happiness, tradition and
modernity. It is a brand that truly brings “Farming to Your Kitchen”.
As the company continues to grow, its journey is an inspiration for budding entrepreneurs,
proving that with vision, dedication, and commitment, anything is possible
