Shrimp farms in eastern India under an overcast sky
Aquapulse, a startup focused on connecting shrimp farmers with international markets, has successfully raised ₹45 crore in a recent funding round. The investment was spearheaded by NABVENTURES, with participation from other investors. This capital infusion is slated to significantly enhance the company’s operational capabilities, particularly in advancing farm technology and improving disease management protocols for shrimp cultivation.
The funding will also facilitate a strategic expansion of Aquapulse’s farmer network, with a specific focus on increasing its presence in eastern India. Concurrently, the company plans to scale up its processing and export operations to meet the growing demand from global buyers. Aquapulse’s business model is designed to provide small-scale shrimp farmers with direct access to international markets, thereby ensuring more stable revenue streams and greater transparency in the supply chain.
This investment underscores the growing interest in agri-tech and food supply chain innovations within emerging markets. By leveraging technology and a robust network, Aquapulse aims to create a more efficient and equitable system for shrimp producers, positioning itself for significant growth in the global seafood industry.
