Konkan Estates – A Tathastu Global Venture has been recognised with the Gems of Maharashtra 2026 award, conferred by The Times Group and broadcast on ET Now Swadesh. The award was presented on 29th June 2026 in Mumbai to Kanchan Aswani, CEO & Managing Director, and Kartik Shivnani, Director, in the Real Estate category for Excellence in Branded Land and Managed Farmland Developments.
The honour was presented by Shri. Mangal Prabhat Lodha, MLA, Maharashtra’s Minister of Skill Development, Employment, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation, and Founder of the Lodha Group. His Maharashtra Startup, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Policy 2025 envisions nurturing 125,000 entrepreneurs and 50,000 startups over five years, and Konkan Estates’ managed farmland model was recognised for supporting that vision by enabling investors to own income-generating agricultural assets.
A Growing Record of National Recognition
This is the third national honour for the company’s leadership in 2026 alone, following the National Outstanding Enterprise Leadership Award at the Money Alpha Summit in Greater Noida on 25th April, and the Inspiring Leaders Award 2026, presented by Shark Tank India investor Anupam Mittal on 18th April.
Aligned with National and State Priorities
Konkan Estates’ managed farmland model anchored by its guaranteed buy-back program and GI-tagged Ratnagiri Alphonso mango exports to markets including the UAE, UK, and Singapore was highlighted as advancing the Prime Minister’s commitment to doubling farmer incomes and strengthening food security. The company’s projects across Ratnagiri, Dapoli, and Sindhudurg were also noted as supporting Maharashtra’s vision of becoming a $5 trillion economy by 2047.
Speaking on the recognition, Director Kartik Shivnani said the honour reinforces four decades of conviction that the Konkan coast is India’s most powerful agricultural and investment corridor, and that the ecosystem the company has built makes Konkan real estate investments accessible, transparent, and generational.
CEO & Managing Director Kanchan Aswani added that the company is building a new asset class combining tax-free agricultural income, land appreciation, and ecological responsibility, with the goal of making Konkan Estates India’s most trusted agri-investment and coastal land development brand.
