Nijish Nair — Founder
I’ve spent over a decade helping scale some of India’s most recognized startups, including OYO and Lendingkart. Those years taught me how to grow fast, but somewhere along the way, I started asking a different question: what does it mean to grow well?That question took me to Sakleshpur in the heart of the Western Ghats. I found a piece of land that felt alive, the kind of place where the sound of birds and the smell of rain remind you what balance actually feels like.It started small. Two cottages, a handful of trees, and a personal retreat for my family. We listed it on marketplaces just to experiment, and we were surprised by the amazing response. Guests loved it. They didn’t just want to stay; they wanted to belong.That’s when the idea for Swasya Living came to life.We saw how managed farmland had become a buzzword, yet most experiences were broken with poor upkeep, little transparency, and no sense of community. So we built what we wished existed, a 40-acre eco-living community that combines responsible land ownership, wellness, and sustainability.Today, Swasya Living is home to📍 More than 15,000 trees📍 5 acres of lakes that recharge groundwater📍 100 beehives, a kitchen garden, and organic produce📍 Eco-friendly cottages built with 80% sustainable materials📍 Solar energy and a focus on complete self-sufficiencyWe’re already 90% sold, and our community includes CXOs, doctors, scientists, and NRIs who believe that prosperity and purpose can coexist.What makes me proudest isn’t the numbers. It’s walking across the land and knowing that even after 20 years, it will look and live just as beautifully.At Swasya, we’re not just selling land. We’re building a regenerative community that thrives on connection, care, and consciousness.And as we grow, we’re now launching multiple new eco-living projects across India, including Kabini, Kanakapura, Goa, Pondicherry, and Lonavala, expanding the Swasya philosophy to more landscapes and more families.If you believe growth should give back to people, to the planet, and to the next generation, let’s connect. 🌱
