From Farmer to Billionaire | Sankalp Solanki | TEDxNerul
In this inspiring TEDx “Ideas into Action” talk, Sankalp Solanki shares his journey from being a proud farmer to becoming a billionaire entrepreneur. With deep respect for his roots — as his family continues farming even today — Sankalp explains that anyone can achieve anything, from anywhere.He highlights the unique connection between the words Farmer and Billionaire, both ending with the letter R. For many, R represents a race — a race for money, growth, or success. But for Sankalp, R is the race of patience. It is this patience that shaped his mindset, grounded him in values, and enabled him to turn vision into reality.Through MyScaai Bharat Construction, he shares how his company is transforming the dream of home ownership in India. With a mission to build 15,000 homes each year (30 homes across 500 locations), MyScaai Bharat provides end-to-end construction solutions — from soil testing and architectural drawings to delivering luxury tech-enabled villas. The vision is clear: making luxury and technology accessible and affordable for every common man.Rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Sankalp’s story is a living example of how resilience, patience, and purpose can turn even the simplest beginnings into extraordinary achievements. Sankalp Solanki is a pioneering first-generation entrepreneur, technologist, and industry disruptor who is redefining India’s construction industry with ethics, innovation, and purpose at its core. Born into a humble farmer’s family in Madhya Pradesh, he grew up witnessing the anxiety and unpredictability that families faced while building their homes—escalating costs, indefinite delays, and substandard quality. Determined to change this broken system, Sankalp founded MyScaai Bharat Construction, which today leads a nationwide movement toward smart, transparent, and fixed-cost homebuilding. He also spearheads MySankalp DreamNest and Frigus Technologies, expanding his influence across real estate, construction tech, and digital innovation.
