Bhubaneswar, Odisha Based Aquapulse, a DPIIT-recognized and award-winning aqua-tech startup, has signed a landmark Joint Venture (JV) with one of the state’s most reputed seafood processors, marking a pivotal moment in India’s blue economy.
Founded with a vision to revolutionize post-harvest aquaculture and empower coastal communities, Aquapulse has consistently demonstrated that high-impact innovation can emerge from grassroots conviction — not just capital-intensive ecosystems. Today, as a completely bootstrapped yet profitable startup, Aquapulse is set to export traceable, antibiotic-free, and premium-quality Indian seafood to the Middle East and beyond, aligning with global standards of sustainability, food safety, and transparency.
“This Joint Venture is not merely a business transaction — it’s a declaration that India’s aquaculture is ready to lead the global seafood stage. We are proud to set a precedent that sustainable scale can be achieved from the soil of Odisha,” said Abhishek Dwivedy, Co-Founder at Aquapulse.
