Founder & Managing Director

Tony Thilak

Ten years ago, I asked a simple question: "Why is buying a farm so complicated, so opaque, and so risky?"

The answer became The One Acre Farms—a company built on transparency, managed farming, and community ownership. Today, 130+ families call themselves co-farmers.

What Drives This Mission

The farmland industry is notorious for opacity, middlemen, and legal complications. Here's how we're changing that.

Radical Transparency

Every document, every measurement, every promise is backed by verified legal due diligence. No hidden clauses.

Community First

The term 'Co-farmer' isn't marketing—it's a philosophy. Every plot owner becomes part of a shared farming ecosystem.

Sustainable Growth

We plant sandalwood, teak, mango, and native species for timber yields—not for quick sales, but for 15-20 year wealth creation.

Fair Pricing

No middlemen. No broker commissions passed to buyers. You pay for land value, not inflated intermediaries.

A Decade in Numbers

From a single idea to a trusted farmland ecosystem—every milestone backed by real families, real projects, and real returns.
