Our Story: From West Bengal to All India
Bighakatha began in 2023 as a simple tool created by a real estate professional from West Bengal who grew frustrated with the confusion surrounding traditional land measurements.
The Beginning
Our founder, with over 15 years in West Bengal’s real estate sector, noticed how complex conversions between bigha, katha, acre, and square feet created barriers for landowners, farmers, and even professionals. What started as a personal spreadsheet to simplify calculations evolved into something bigger.
