The Clarity Call -Your Best First Step
“Before you spend ₹50 lakh on your dream, spend ₹10,000 on clarity.”
I’ve seen it too often. Someone pours their heart and money into building a retreat, café, or homestay in the mountains… only to realize they picked the wrong location, built too much (or too little), targeted the wrong guests, or missed something obvious.
That’s why this 1-hour Clarity Call exists.
Who This Is For
You’ve found a piece of land and don’t know what to build.
You’re confused between 2-3 ideas: homestay, hostel, retreat center, cafe, or a mix.
You already have a property - but you’re stuck with low bookings, bad reviews, or no brand.
You’re about to invest money (₹10–50L) and want to make sure it’s the right decision.
You’re dreaming of leaving the city to build something meaningful -but you don’t know where to begin.
If you’ve Googled everything, but still don’t feel confident this is for you.
What You Get
1. Deep-Dive Voice Note Exchange (Before Our Call)
You’ll send me everything, your dreams, land photos, business idea, goals, challenges. I’ll listen, think, and ask follow-up questions via voice notes. No form-filling. Just a human conversation.
2. One-on-One Clarity Call (60–75 minutes on Meet/Call)
We’ll map everything:
→ What’s working, what’s not.
→ What to build (and what to avoid).
→ Potential guest profiles & pricing strategy.
→ Key revenue levers and blind spots.
→ Your personal vision vs. what’s feasible on ground.
3. Tailored Recommendation Summary (PDF)
After the call, you’ll receive a crisp, action-packed PDF covering:
✔ Project direction
✔ Market-fit suggestion
✔ Guest experience ideas
✔ Must-dos and avoid-at-all-costs
✔ My honest take on what’s possible
Real Impact: Why It Pays Off
💡 A recent founder wanted to build a retreat in Uttarakhand. On our call, I helped them shift the layout, change the room count, and rethink their target audience. That saved them ₹12L+ in unnecessary build cost and gave them a sharper, niche brand that now earns better.
💡 Another client was ready to shut down their homestay in Himachal. After our 1-hour strategy call, they added 3 simple offerings and improved their storytelling. Within 2 months, they were back to 80% occupancy.
💡 One dreamer from Bangalore had a mountain dream but no clarity. After our chat, they realised what not to do. That clarity helped them avoid wasting ₹25L on a poor investment and opened them to better opportunities.
