Aquapulse Nets ₹25 Cr To Scale Aquaculture Network
Superadmin
Aquaculture-focused agritech startup Aquapulse has netted ₹25 Cr (about $2.7 Mn) in its ongoing Series A round led by NABVENTURES via its AgriSURE Fund.
The startup intends to use the fresh capital to set up an in-house processing facility to improve quality control and margins. Additionally, a portion of the capital will be deployed to expand its farmer network to 15,000 farmers across states like Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, while also strengthening its technology stack.
Aquapulse is also investing in AI-led harvest systems, along with enhancing its tech-driven transparent pricing model.
Founded in 2022 by Abhishek and Abhilash Dwivedy, Aquapuls helps shrimp and fish farmers run their businesses more efficiently using technology.
The startup offers an app-based monitoring to track water quality, predict shrimp growth and manage feed, allowing farmers to make timely decisions and improve productivity, while reducing risks through better disease management, thus minimising losses during and after harvest.
Its AI-based pre-harvest systems monitor parameters like water quality, disease risks and feed usage to ensure feed efficiency and output quality.
Aquapulse connects farmers directly with buyers, helping them secure better prices and reduce dependence on intermediaries. It also provides digital expert advisory to support more informed and modern farming practices.
On the post-harvest side, Aquapulse manages grading, cold storage, logistics and compliance processes. The startup says it looks to build India’s first integrated aquaculture ecosystem.
Aquapulse primarily competes with the likes of Eruvaka, Aquaconnect, AquaExchange among others in the growing Indian agritech segment.
India’s aquaculture sector is largely fuelled by fish and shrimp production, with shrimp continuing to dominate as the country’s top seafood export, contributing close to 70% of total export value. The value of seafood exports rose from ₹43,720.98 Cr in FY21 to ₹62,408.45 Cr in FY25, a growth of over 40%.
