The Opportunity
Land mafia exploits gaps in record-keeping (7/12 extracts, genealogical chains, and succession documentation) to fraudulently transfer tribal and vulnerable populations' lands. Victims cannot prove legitimate ownership because records are incomplete, forged, or deliberately excluded. A digital verification service that authenticates land genealogy, flags discrepancies, and creates tamper-proof ownership chains solves the upstream verification problem that enables all land fraud.
Market SizeβΉ850 Cr addressable market β Based on ~15M vulnerable landholders in India's tribal/rural zones at risk of land mafia fraud, with a per-verification fee of βΉ5,000-10,000 over 5 years.
Why NowData Protection Act (DPDP) compliance for genealogy storage; partnership with revenue authorities requires MOU under State Land Reforms Act; notarised records may require IRDAI or CCI oversight if monetised via insurers; GST 18% on service fees (professional services).
