Aquapulse Raises $4.7 Million in Round led by NABVENTURES

The company will use the funds to improve farming technology and disease management systems, expand its network of shrimp farmers in eastern India, increase processing and export capacity, and strengthen its working capital to support business growth.

“The capital lets us deepen the aquapreneur cluster model, strengthen pre-harvest technology at the pond, and scale processing and exports without losing the farmer-first discipline we started with,” said, Aquapulse co-founder Abhishek Dwivedy.

“Aquapulse stood out immediately due to their deep understanding of the aquaculture ecosystem and a ground-level operational model that drives genuine value for both vendors and customers,” said, Sarika Saxena, managing partner at IAN Alpha Fund.

Founded in 2023 by Abhishek and Abhilash Dwivedy, Bhubaneswar-based Aquapulse is a technology-driven company that helps small shrimp farmers sell their produce directly to buyers in India and international markets. The company works with farmers in Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal through a network of local aquapreneurs.

Aquapulse supports farmers with services such as water quality testing, feed management, disease monitoring, harvest planning, and market access. It also manages the entire supply chain, from farm operations and harvesting to processing and exports, while ensuring full product traceability.

The company mainly exports shrimp to China, Vietnam, and Japan, while also supplying customers in the Indian retail and institutional markets.

India's seafood exports reached $8.28 billion in 2025, with shrimp making up a large share of the total. Aquapulse aims to help small shrimp farmers overcome challenges such as limited access to markets, low use of technology, changing prices, and growing traceability requirements from global buyers.
