About 1acre

1acre.in is on a mission to simplify the land market—an industry that’s often complex, opaque, and hard to navigate. We believe the data to make it transparent already exists. Our goal is to design the systems and algorithms that surface this information quickly, accurately, and meaningfully.

We want to solve the land market completely.

We currently have over 5,500 verified listings, 2,200+ premium subscribers, 1,500+ sellers, and 115k+ followers on Instagram. We're the category leader in Telangana and have recently expanded into Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Goa.

As we scale rapidly, we’re looking for smart, driven individuals who thrive in ambiguity, enjoy solving hard problems, and want to grow fast in a high-impact environment.

What you’ll be doing:

• Master Plan Digitization:
• Digitize land use plans and zoning maps across multiple cities, ensuring accuracy and geospatial alignment.
• Infrastructure Layer Mapping:
• Trace and update infrastructure projects like highways, SEZs, expressways, and industrial corridors, and integrate them into our internal systems.
• Zoning Framework Development:
• Create structured, zone-wise summaries of building byelaws (FSI, setbacks, permissible uses, etc.), customized by state and urban authority.
• Collaboration with Research Team:
• Work closely with research associates to convert their findings into structured spatial layers
• Data Cleanup and Validation:
• Ensure digitized layers are accurate, aligned, and are easy to use format.

Skills and Requirements:

• Proficiency in GIS tools like QGIS, ArcGIS, or similar.
• Familiarity in PDF maps, shapefiles, and scanned documents to extract usable information.
• Ability to interpret zoning regulations and urban planning norms.
• Good spatial sense and attention to detail—small alignment errors matter.
