For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Today's episode explores the novel concept of Managed Farmland! Since Covid, we have seen a rise in plotted development launches across the outskirts of metros along with tier 2 & 3 cities, as people crave open space, clean environments and a connection to nature. As urban Indians start to put more thought into their health, wellness, and living a sustainable lifestyle, we’re seeing a new trend emerge in India in the form of managed farmland. A lot of us may dream of retiring to a farm outside the city, but the process of actually setting up something like this in India can be complicated, not to mention all the work that goes into running a farm successfully. To solve for this, today’s guests have worked on managed farm plots that utilize technology along with permaculture and regenerative farming principles, to help new age urban farmers realize their visions. Mr. Chitlur and Mr. Setty have been working on this concept through Hosachiguru Farms for more than a decade, and joined Hosachiguru after their own entrepreneurial ventures. Today, they have over 1000 customers, and have delivered 1200+ greened acres, creating ecosystems through timber and food forests for their growing community of co-farmers. In today’s episode, we discuss how managed farmland works, how farmland should be viewed from an investment lens, creating farmhouses and unique experiences, the principles of regenerative agriculture, and much more!

Joining us today is Mr. Vijeth Reddy , the Co-Founder and CEO of Kots a pioneering residential leasing company operating in East Bangalore, that caters to the needs of both tenants and Landlords. Renting an apartment in a metro city is fraught with challenges for both the tenant and the landlord. If you’re a tenant you have several criteria you’re juggling: price, location, quality of the apartment, proximity to shops, restaurants, ease of connectivity or commute to your office or college, and of course a Landlord who is attentive and responsive in the event something goes wrong or needs to be fixed in the apartment. If you’re a landlord your main concerns are probably a tenant who pays their rent on time, who respects the property and doesn’t cause any damage, who respects the buildings common areas, and of course there is a target rental yield you would like to achieve. For both parties there is an asymmetry of criteria and a lack of benchmarks for their expectations. To bridge this gap, Mr Vijeth Reddy and his wife Mrs. Sageetha Reddy, founded Kots in 2019. Kots is a pioneering residential leasing company operating in East Bangalore, that caters to the needs of both tenants and Landlords. An engineer by education, Mr. Reddy is a serial entrepreneur with a history of building startups in varying sectors. Kots is one of the few Indian companies in the residential sector that partners with developers to operate on a Build-to-Rent model. The company maximizes returns to the landlord, while also catering to 11-month rental contracts for India’s young professionals, with their primary tenant demographic being 24-35 years of age. Kots also solves for the upkeep and turnover of the properties they manage. Kots has already grown a foundation in East Bangalore having served over 900 tennants and 50 different Landlords, in the last 4 years. The company’s plans for the next two years include a tenant base of 3000, working with 100 different Landlords, and perhaps hoping to expand to other markets in India soon.

Joining us today is Mr. Saurabh Garg , the Co-Founder and CBO of India’s first Proptech Unicorn, NoBroker . During the last decade, one of the fastest growing sub-sectors within Indian Real Estate has been Proptech, as an increasing number of real estate transactions have been happening online. This surge is reflected in the investor market as well, with a total of $4 Billion in funding being poured into Indian proptech ventures since 2009. However, no progress comes without it’s fair share of challenges. One such challenge being the disparity of information and transparency between the supply side (traditionally developers and brokers) and the demand side (traditionally real estate buyers and investors). Today, Mr. Garg talks to us about his prop-tech solution to address this challenge, amongst several others faced by tenants and homebuyers. With a history of successful entrepreneurship with his first venture, The Four Fountains Spa, Mr. Garg decided to start NoBroker in 2014, to address the pain points he had personally faced as a prospective tenant. Over time, NoBroker has become a full stack service provider, with an array of property services, catering to them achieving a company value at over $1B in their most recent funding round. Mr. Garg takes us through his journey with NoBroker, their expansion into complimentary verticals, and the application of data and algorithms to understand consumer behaviour, and improve the consumer experience within real estate.
