- India’s Gomini has launched an NFT initiative that allows individuals to own cows.
- Each month, the NFT-cows could provide owners with two litres of milk.
- Gomini is collaborating with NABARD to form FPO clusters and promote natural farming practices.
In the heart of the Indian state of Bihar, a massive NFT revolution is underway. Gomini, a blockchain-powered platform, is transforming the traditional livestock ownership model by introducing NFTs that represent real cows.
By leveraging blockchain’s security and transparency, Gomini is creating a new asset class that’s both lucrative and socially responsible. With this initiative, owning a cow is no longer a privilege reserved for farmers; it is now a viable investment opportunity for anyone, anywhere in the world. This approach not only provides a new investment avenue for global investors but also empowers rural farmers and promotes sustainable agriculture.
Unveiling the Power of NFT-Based Cow Ownership
In the latest conversation, Arjun Sharma, the CEO of the Indian blockchain firm Gomini, shared insights on their innovative NFT project. The project allows individuals worldwide to own an indigenous Indian cow in Bihar, which is converted into a unique non-fungible token (NFT). Mr Sharma noted,
“We are converting cows in our clusters into NFTs, through which you can own a cow. Though the liquidity is initially provided by the cluster owner, once a person owns an NFT, he/she gets some benefits from the cow.”
What is more surprising in this project is that the NFT holders will receive two litres of authentic ghee monthly. This makes owning the NFT cow more similar to having an original cow and enjoying its dairy products.
What’s Gomini’s Cluster Model?
Gomini, India’s pioneering managed cow care service platform, initially launched its operations in August 2025 with the goal of revitalizing the country’s cow-based economy through responsible ownership, wellness traditions, and rural empowerment. The Gomini app is now live on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, garnering a positive response from early adopters.
Notably, Gomini is promoting its concept through Cluster initiatives, where anyone can own a cow via NFT and benefit from its yield. According to Arjun Sharma, this model helps reduce capital costs.
Sharma’s extensive research, which included visiting 1,000 cow sheds and interacting with over 100,000 farmers between 2013 and 2020, laid the groundwork for this innovative approach. Sharma stated,
“Each cow that enters our ecosystem directly empowers a rural woman caretaker with sustainable income, enabling her to support her family and contribute to her community. Our mission is to restore the cultural, ecological, and economic significance of India’s native cows while building a bridge of trust and prosperity between urban owners and rural communities.”
It is worth noting that the move comes amid the growing popularity of NFTs. As Times of Blockchain reported recently, NFT collectables have been showing increasing performance, with user activity exhibiting a notable surge. Weekly reports suggested that sales volume has been on a rapid rise, with Courtyard and Pudgy Penguins leading the charge.
A Mission to Preserve India’s Native Breeds
Interestingly, Gomini’s 12-year NFT journey is rooted in a deep commitment to preserving India’s indigenous cattle breeds, which have dwindled significantly since the 1950s. With NABARD’s support, the company is working to reverse this trend by establishing clusters in Bihar, starting with the hardy Sahiwal breed.
This initiative not only promotes sustainable farming practices but also empowers local farmers. By focusing on local breeds, Gomini aims to ensure their survival and prosperity in their native habitats, ultimately contributing to the preservation of India’s rich cattle heritage. With a clear plan in place, including onboarding 50 farmers per cluster, Gomini is poised to make a remarkable impact in the region.
