The Farmstead

What The Farmstead does

The Farmstead, founded in 2017, is a privately held agro-tourism resort operating on a 10-acre farmland property in Kharawade Village, Mulshi, approximately 40 km from Pune, Maharashtra, India. The company runs a single integrated site that combines rural hospitality with recreational and agricultural experiences, offering day visits, hands-on farming activities (ploughing, sowing, harvesting, bullock cart rides, animal husbandry), adventure sports (river rafting, hiking), and a tiered accommodation portfolio spanning seasonal riverside camping, dormitory beds, AC cottages ("The Nests"), AC family rooms, and a 3BHK villa with private swimming pool. It also hosts destination weddings (300–1,500 guests), family celebrations, and corporate outings.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with a parallel corporate B2B motion, monetising through per-person unit pricing on accommodation and experiences. Pricing ranges from ₹600 (child day-visit) to ₹7,500 (weekend AC cottage for two), with structured corporate and team-outing packages starting at ₹1,400 and ₹2,899 per person respectively. Distribution is primarily direct via website, enquiry forms, phone, and WhatsApp, supplemented by organic social (Facebook, Instagram) and word-of-mouth referrals. Named enterprise clients include TCS, Accenture, John Deere, Amdocs, Volkswagen, Tech Mahindra, Symantec, Siemens Aurangabad, and Heaptrace Technologies, indicating traction with large corporates for offsite events.

The operating model is asset-heavy and labour-light, with a reported headcount of 7 employees supporting the entire property and bookings function. There is no disclosed technology platform, no app, no API, no AI components, no funding rounds, no parent company, and no M&A activity. Ownership is private with an unstated legal form, domiciled in Maharashtra, India. The company is currently operational with active bookings and marketing.
