MangoFolks by Konkan Estate Honoured for Leading India’s Urban-to-Agri Movement at the Real Estate Quality Excellence Awards 2026

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 02: At a time when urban life is increasingly defined by financial pressure, market uncertainty, and an exhausting cycle of constant hustle, MangoFolks by Konkan Estate is building an alternative vision of growth… one that reconnects people with land, long-term value, and a more intentional way of living.

Recognising this emerging shift, MangoFolks was awarded the “Excellence in Building India’s Urban-to-Agri Movement Award” at the prestigious Real Estate Quality Excellence Awards 2026, held on 7th May at The Westin, Goregaon, Mumbai. Hosted by Adsync Dubai with Times Now as the telecast and media partner, the event celebrated some of the country’s most impactful names across the real estate and infrastructure landscape. Actress Bhagyashree, widely known for Maine Pyar Kiya, attended the ceremony as a celebrity guest.

The recognition marks a significant milestone for MangoFolks and its founders, Mr. Harsh Rawat and Mr. Ganesh Gokhale, who have steadily built a model that blends managed farmland ownership, sustainable agriculture, and long-term asset creation into a modern lifestyle movement.

While India witnessed decades of migration from rural regions to cities in search of opportunity, MangoFolks is part of a new and meaningful reversal. It is enabling urban individuals and families to reconnect with rural India, not out of necessity, but by choice.

Through professionally managed mango orchards in the rapidly developing Tala–Mangaon belt of Konkan, MangoFolks offers urban buyers an opportunity to own productive agricultural land without the burden of day-to-day farm management. From plantation and irrigation to scientific crop maintenance and long-term orchard upkeep, the company manages the operational ecosystem while landowners participate in the value creation.

However, MangoFolks positions itself as more than a farmland company. Its larger appeal lies in addressing some of the most pressing concerns modern professionals face today.

For many urban families, financial life has become heavily dependent on a single source of income, making them vulnerable to layoffs, market downturns, and economic uncertainty. Traditional wealth-building avenues continue to face volatility, while rising taxation, debt cycles, and lifestyle inflation make long-term security increasingly difficult to achieve.

MangoFolks introduces an alternative asset-backed model that combines land ownership with agricultural productivity and future lifestyle potential. The initiative resonates strongly with professionals seeking early retirement planning, diversification beyond volatile financial markets, and an escape from the constant pressure of the corporate rat race.

Its orchard projects are developed using UHDP (Ultra High-Density Plantation) farming techniques, allowing structured and efficient cultivation with approximately 400 mango trees per acre. Beyond agricultural productivity, every plot also includes dedicated open spaces that create possibilities for future farmhouses, wellness retreats, eco-stays, and agro-tourism experiences.

Speaking about the recognition, Mr. Ganesh Gokhale, Co-Founder and Director of MangoFolks, said,

“This award validates a vision that both Harsh and I have believed in from the beginning. People are not just looking for investments anymore; they are looking for stability, meaning, and a healthier way to grow their future. MangoFolks was created to help individuals reconnect with nature while building tangible, long-term assets that can support both financial freedom and quality of life. We believe the future will belong to communities that grow with intention.”

Over the last few years, MangoFolks has cultivated a growing community of orchard owners from cities including Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Indore. The initiative reflects a larger cultural shift where land ownership is no longer viewed purely as a transaction, but as a pathway toward sustainability, legacy, and balanced living.

With the Urban-to-Agri movement gaining momentum across India, MangoFolks continues to position itself at the intersection of agriculture, lifestyle, and future-focused asset building, creating a model that speaks to a generation looking beyond conventional definitions of wealth
