# Mumbai woman, 29, quits job for farm life in Pune 2026-08-26T19:03:45+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Sneha Rajguru, 29, quit her corporate job in Mumbai and moved to Pune to run a farm with her father, BaapBeti Farms. She shared four steps to early retirement on Instagram: buy land, plant fruit trees, grow your own food, and surround yourself with flowers and nature. Rajguru said her retirement is about choosing peace over pressure, not about age. She bought the land in 2022 and now offers farm staycations. Her post has drawn praise from netizens, with comments calling it inspiring. ## Indian Opinion Analysis This is a personal lifestyle story, not a financial blueprint. The four steps, land purchase, fruit trees, food self-sufficiency, flowers, ignore the high upfront cost of buying land in Maharashtra, especially near Pune, where agricultural land prices have risen sharply in the last decade under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code. Most salaried workers cannot afford a plot without family capital or a large savings corpus. The post also treats retirement as quitting paid work, not as a funded financial plan. What matters is whether Rajguru had existing savings, a passive income, or revenue from farm stays to sustain herself. Without that detail, the story is aspirational but not replicable for most. The real test will be whether BaapBeti Farms becomes a viable business or remains a personal retreat. ## Coverage - livemint.com Leads with a dramatic early retirement claim without independent verification of financial details.
