For many families and professionals, cow guardianship is a new concept - one that promises both spiritual fulfillment and tangible, transparent returns. At Gomini, we believe in keeping things simple, honest, and directly linked to your asset: your cow. Here’s how our model works, what you can expect, and why it’s a win for both your family and rural India.

The Economics of Cow Guardianship: Returns, Risks, and Rewards

How Returns Work - Simple, Transparent, and Asset-Linked

When you become a Gomini guardian, you’re not just supporting a cow - you’re investing in a living asset whose value grows and multiplies. Here’s how your returns are generated:

  • Milk Revenue: You receive 25% of the revenue from the sale of your cow’s milk. This is direct, transparent, and traceable - no complicated profit-sharing or pooled returns.

  • Heifer Monetization: When your cow gives birth to a heifer (female calf), you receive 25% of the revenue from her subsequent guardianship or monetization.

  • Generational Returns: For every heifer born from your original cow, you also receive 10% of the milk and heifer revenue generated by those heifers. This creates a legacy of returns, directly linked to your original asset.

All calculations are simple, asset-based, and fully auditable. You always know exactly where your returns are coming from.

What About Panchgavya Products?

The income from Panchgavya products - like ghee, fertilizer, and skincare - goes directly to the Jeevika Didis and rural women who craft them. This ensures that your investment not only benefits your family, but also uplifts the women and communities who care for your cow. It’s a model rooted in empowerment and shared prosperity.

Risks - What Every Guardian Should Know
  • Health & Longevity: Cows are living beings and may face health challenges. Gomini’s Jeevika Didis provide expert care, but natural risks remain.

    • Remediation: Gomini makes sure every cow is insured to protect Guardian's capital loss.

  • Market Fluctuations: The price of milk can vary with demand and seasonality.

    • Remediation: Gomini regulates the milk price as milk is not sold to open market but is procured by Gomini's partner FPO which process them into products.

  • Operational Costs: All care, feed, and management costs are transparently accounted for before revenue sharing.

  • Regulatory Changes: Gomini stays ahead of compliance, but agricultural policies can evolve.

The Rewards - Beyond Financial Returns
  • Spiritual Merit: Every act of care is a living yajna, bringing ongoing blessings to your home.

  • Family Legacy: Children learn compassion, responsibility, and the value of ethical wealth.

  • Community Impact: Your investment supports rural women, empowers local economies, and sustains ancient dharma.

  • Transparency & Trust: Gomini provides regular updates, legal documentation, and a clear breakdown of returns—so you always know where your blessings and income are flowing.
