What started as a part-time venture for Anita Verma-Lallian, Eileen Jain Sahai and Smita Patil Mehta grew in less than a year into a Valley land investment company that has raised more than $4 million from some 50 investors.

The women started SLM Land Holdings in May 2019 with the goal of allowing people who want to invest smaller amounts to buy in strategic locations.
