What they do

Aquapulse connects small shrimp cultivators with domestic and international buyers through a technology-driven supply chain network

The enterprise aims for threefold revenue expansion while scaling its grower community to 10,000 and boosting procurement targets

Geographical entry into Andhra Pradesh provides the venture access to a vast aquatic farming hub and ensures year-round supply cycles

Aquapulse is pursuing a threefold increase in annual revenue compared to the preceding financial period over the next year and a half.
The firm intends to grow its active cultivator base from 7,000 to 10,000 participants by strengthening operations across West Bengal and Odisha alongside a new entry into Andhra Pradesh.
Shrimp acquisition volumes are anticipated to jump from 2,000 metric tonnes to 5,000 metric tonnes across its operating regions.
The monetary worth of the harvested shrimp acquired by the firm is projected to surge between 2.5 and three times over last year.
The organization has successfully onboarded approximately 1,000 growers in Andhra Pradesh after deploying a significant portion of its personnel there.
The startup earned recognition as one of the top three contenders worldwide in the aquatic farming section of the 2026 industry innovation honors.

Cultivating shrimp remains highly precarious for independent producers due to volatile market rates, potential infections, and ecological shifts.
Andhra Pradesh functions as a primary center for domestic shrimp production, granting access to a much larger operating ecosystem.

Aquapulse runs a comprehensive aquaculture framework uniting agronomy advisory, digital tools, purchasing logistics, and market connectivity.
The proprietary portal logs agricultural metrics, water condition levels, and historical production data to supervise progress and optimize purchasing.
Artificial intelligence advisory features and pre-harvest assessment instruments assist cultivators in evaluating crop maturity and boosting final yields.
Growers associated with the digital network reportedly experience a 3 to 5 percent enhancement in financial returns.
The business tracks and logs every individual shrimp batch along the distribution pathway until shipments arrive at export ports.

Establish localized advisory stations in Andhra Pradesh to register and incorporate additional growers.
Expand total volume output utilizing cluster-based and lagoon-based harvesting techniques.
