For Bavla, where the land is worth more as land than as farmland, and everyone knows it.
Land worth more than what it grows
Bavla farms and processes what the surrounding district produces, sitting close enough to Ahmedabad that industrial and residential development keeps advancing. The consequence is that land here is now frequently worth more for what could be built on it than for what it grows.
Farming an asset you might sell
That changes the psychology of the work completely. Farming becomes provisional. Why invest in soil, irrigation or a long-cycle crop if the plot might be sold in three years?
Clients describe under-investing for a decade while waiting for an offer that has not come, and quietly resenting the neighbour who sold early. The land underperforms, the sale does not materialise, and both losses compound.
What the work addresses
Deciding, with a date attached. Either this is farmland - in which case invest in it properly - or it is an asset awaiting sale, in which case stop pretending to farm and manage it as a holding.
The unresolved middle is the expensive option, and it is the one almost everyone here is currently in.
Sessions

Frequently asked questions
- Should I sell my land?
- That is yours. The work is ensuring it is a decision with a timeframe rather than an indefinite wait.
