• Aquapulse secures transformative joint venture with a top Odisha seafood processor to export traceable, antibiotic-free Indian seafood to the Middle East.
• Founded in 2023, the profitable DPIIT-recognized startup is revolutionizing aquaculture via AI-based traceability, remote sensing, and farmer-focused innovations.
• Targets INR 200 crore in revenue within 3 years by scaling sustainable tech, boosting cold chains, and empowering coastal communities through inclusive aquatech.

Aquapulse, an Odisha-founded aqua tech startup identified by the DPIIT and supported by Startup India and Startup Odisha, has just made headlines for securing a joint venture that is impact-oriented and marks a revolutionary turning point for India's aquaculture industry. Established in 2023 by Abhishek Dwivedy and Abhilash, the startup has been bootstrapped through and through and remains proudly profitable a rare achievement in a business often characterized by large capital inflow.

This milestone collaboration has Aquapulse partnering with one of Odisha's most respected seafood processors to ship traceable, antibiotic-free, premium Indian seafood to discerning customers in the Middle East and beyond. It's a transaction that transcends trade, it's an assertion of strategic intent: India's aquaculture will take its rightful place on the world seafood map. Co-founder Abhishek Dwivedy well summarized the partnership as "not just a business deal, but a statement that India's aquaculture is poised to drive the world seafood platform".

By leveraging grassroots high-impact innovation instead of urban incubators, Aquapulse can exponentially scale revenues. Within three years, the company projects gross revenues of INR 200 crore, a boost that will be driven by increased investments in farmer education, AI-enabled traceability systems, and sophisticated post-harvest cold chain facilities that will significantly curtail losses.

These technology-enabled tools, which ensure real-time quality evaluation and maintain antibiotic-free standards, are already being rolled out among smallholder farmer communities, furthering the promise of sustainability as well as adherence to international best practices . Aquapulse's model isn't only technologically advanced, it's aggressively inclusive, making use of satellite remote sensing as well as expert advisory to bring producers, processors, and end markets under one umbrella in a seamless, efficient, and scalable environment.

This transaction also draws upon wider strategic support mechanisms. Collaborations with financing and agricultural business partners like Drip Capital for trade finance, TATA Rallis for science-backed inputs, and processors for quality assurance are enhancing supply chain resilience and empowerment of farmers along Odisha's coastlines.

At its essence, this investment captures Aquapulse's unflinching vision: revolutionizing Indian aquaculture through tech-driven, impact-focused methods that raise coastal communities, establish a new standard for food safety, and play a meaningful role in fulfilling global seafood demand. Not just a business achievement, it's a statement that sustainable, scalable blue economy growth is possible from grassroots innovation.
