About us
How we invest, end to end.
We are an agricultural-land wealth advisory focused on emerging Indian growth corridors. We buy early, then exit to authorities or private builders as development reaches the area.
Our work continues long past registration: sourcing, diligence, possession, maintenance, acquisition paperwork and exit support. We invest in the same land, so our incentives sit with yours.

02 · Acquisition thesis
Seven reasons we expect acquisition here.
We believe acquisition here is as close to certain as land gets. That is our view, not a guarantee — government timing and policy can change.
Already Officially Notified
Villages are listed on YEIDA's official website and Master Plan. (They removed this from the website recently, so this is the archived version.) This is published government policy, not speculation.
Proven Track Record
Noida, Greater Noida and YEIDA have an unbroken history of acquiring per master plan — often more than originally planned.
Government Revenue Model
You buy farmland at ~₹2,000/sq m; YEIDA acquires at ~₹6,000–8,000/sq m, allots to builders at ~₹40,000–50,000/sq m, who sell flats at ~₹1,00,000/sq m. Our own land was acquired at ₹4,300/sq m. YEIDA now sells plots in those sectors at ₹36,000/sq m — 8× profit for the authority.
Massive Budget Allocations
- ₹8,000 Cr — YEIDA board budget for land acquisition (Mar 2026)
- ₹700 Cr — UP Budget for Noida airport land (Feb 2026)
- ₹1,200 Cr — Greenfield Expressway land (Feb 2026)
- ₹2,500 Cr — Soft loan for Yamuna City land (Jan 2026)
- YEIDA to acquire 6,000 hectares for urban development (2024)
- ₹1,780 Cr — UP Government approved (Nov 2023)
- ₹1,500 Cr — Interest-free loan for land acquisition (2022)
Noida & Greater Noida Are Saturated
No land left in Noida/Greater Noida. Industries are pushed to YEIDA. YEIDA has already allotted a large number of industrial plots and lease deeds are rising sharply — demand is accelerating.
Delay Costs YEIDA More
Every year YEIDA delays, compensation rises and more developed land must be returned to farmers. In a recent case, the authority gave much higher compensation and 25% of developed land back. Timely acquisition is a financial imperative.
Strategic Position
The lands we offer are around Bajna Cut (within 10 km) — where YEIDA acquisition is already underway. Lands sit on either side of the highway, 2–3 km away.
What if there is a delay? You will get more compensation as it increases every year. If you don't have an appetite to wait for 6–7 years, we recommend not to invest.
03 · Due diligence
The five-step land verification process.
In our experience roughly 70% of open-market parcels carry a hidden problem, so we run every parcel through these five steps.
01
Records check
Khatauni, current seller, 12-year ownership chain, registry history, mutation, loans, mortgages, disputes and court cases.
02
Physical site visit
Walk the Bhunaksha boundary, measure the actual area, verify road access and possession, and inspect neighbouring land use.
03
Neighbour checks
Confirm boundaries and earlier claims, and look for possible disputes among the seller’s heirs.
04
Sarpanch confirmation
Check informal inheritance claims, customary rights, village agreements and the seller’s local reputation.
05
Patwari verification
Final ownership and dispute check, hidden loans, and confirmation that the land is not flood-prone khadar land.
04 · After purchase
Possession, boundaries and local monitoring.
Physical possession
We replace the previous farmer with one of our own so your ownership is represented on the ground, not only on paper.
Boundary construction
We build a boundary wall as your primary physical deterrent against encroachment.
Ongoing local network
We monitor through sarpanch, farmer and local contacts in an area where we hold land ourselves.
We offer a zero-encroachment commitment, backed by boundary work, local monitoring and YEIDA’s practice of compensating registered owners. Ask us for the contractual terms and read them before you invest.
05 · Read honestly
Who this is not for.
We would rather be direct about the temperament, capital and time horizon this requires.
- 01You need a committee of relatives and advisers to make every decision.
- 02You reject distant, undeveloped land even though that lower entry price is central to how we generate returns.
- 03You need repeated visits to visually similar notified parcels.
- 04You cannot decide within roughly two weeks while available parcels and prices change.
- 05Your budget is below ₹25 lakh, and we have no loan workaround to offer.
- 06You want dozens of options, flats, plots or multiple locations rather than one focused strategy.
- 07You cannot hold for six to seven years.
06 · Common scams and pitfalls
Why a cheap parcel can become very expensive.
THE BIGGEST RISK: never buy from brokers with no office, no online presence, no track record. Friendliness is not trustworthiness.
For a broker, one bad deal means ₹5–10 lakh per bigha — enough to last a year. They build rapport fast, then sell disputed, khadar or interior land at main-road prices. Real case: a Gurugram investor was offered land at ₹17.5L/bigha (market ₹21L). She paid ₹5 lakh advance without verification; after registry, she found interior land rather than what was promised. The dealer vanished. A below-market price is not a deal — it is a setup.
No Physical Possession
Seller owns the papers on the land but has no possession of it; 25–30% discount, recovery takes years.
Less Land Than Papers Show
Khatauni says 2 bigha, ground is 1.6 — found only on a boundary walk.
No Road Access
No chak road — inaccessible land is far cheaper.
Previously Sold, Not in Records
Sold once via unregistered agreement; original owner sells again to you.
Agreement to Sale Executed
A prior buyer's agreement stands; courts honour it. You lose.
Heirs Selling Without Mutation
Owner deceased, mutation pending; land legally still in father's name.
Massive Loans on Land
Loans buried at the end of the Khatauni; lender has a legal claim if uncleared.
Disputed Land
Active court case, inheritance fight or boundary conflict.
Khadar (Flood-Prone)
Irrigation Department jurisdiction — ineligible for acquisition. A dead end.
07 · Supply
Why would a farmer sell?
In our experience farmers sell for current needs rather than because the land is poor: weak farm income, medical or education bills, weddings, limited bank finance, a family land purchase, or a partial sale to fund an emergency.
We have seen a farmer selling two bigha for ₹30 lakh, using ₹10–15 lakh for an emergency, and buying five bigha from a relative in a deeper interior area. That may suit the farmer even when the replacement land has no infrastructure or acquisition horizon.
Supply is genuinely scarce: only a very small share of farmers sell, and we source what we find through local relationships rather than listing websites.
08 · Frequently asked questions
Costs, eligibility and the practical details.
How much land should I buy?+
Our minimum is ₹25 lakh. We recommend around ₹50 lakh for stronger per-square-metre pricing and more options.
Why is a commitment required before papers are shared?+
It helps us work only with serious investors and covers the certified documents we obtain from the authorities. We agree the exact amount with you during the consultation.
Can I visit the office or site first?+
Yes — we arrange office and site visits only once we see financial commitment from your side.
How many options will I see?+
We usually bring one or two options chosen around your goals, rather than a broad catalogue.
Can a non-farmer buy?+
Yes — any Indian citizen can buy agricultural land in Uttar Pradesh and receive the applicable cash compensation and 7% plot.
What is the circle rate?+
We estimate it at 70–80% of land value, currently about ₹14 lakh per 1,000 sq m.
Can I take a loan?+
Generally not — banks do not lend against notified acquisition farmland.
What other costs apply?+
Plan for stamp duty at 5% of circle rate, registration at 1%, advocate and deed writer near ₹15,000, and mutation near ₹10,000.
Are SC lands available?+
If you are an eligible Scheduled Caste buyer, we can often source land priced around ₹5 lakh per bigha lower.
Are discounts offered?+
We don’t offer discounts — the pricing we quote is the pricing we pay for.

Harsh studied at Oklahoma State University, USA, and worked as a data scientist in Washington, D.C. before building a venture-funded business that he sold for a multi-million-dollar exit. Retired at 35, he now lives off his passive YEIDA land investments — a land bank returning 25% annually — and helps other investors retire the same way.
In his free time, he travels across India and around the world, discovering high-growth investment opportunities along the way. One of his biggest personal interests is longevity — staying youthful. He doesn't offer a product he doesn't use himself; he holds the same investment he offers you.
Sudhir Gupta · Co-Founder & Advisor
Sudhir has 30 years of experience in UP real estate and land acquisition, investing in agricultural land since 1995 — when he stumbled upon it by chance, tired of the returns real estate in Delhi was giving him. He started with just ₹5 lakh and built it into the generational wealth his family holds today.
A typical middle-class dad who went against the norms of his time, he has become a source of inspiration for many of our investors. His relationships with landowners, patwaris and village leadership form our sourcing and due-diligence backbone.
