Aquaculture-focused agritech startup Aquapulse has raised ₹25 Cr (approximately $2.7 Mn) in its Series A funding round led by NABVENTURES through its AgriSURE Fund. The company plans to utilize the investment to establish an in-house processing facility for improved quality control and margins, expand its farmer network, and strengthen its technology infrastructure.
Founded in 2022 by Abhishek and Abhilash Dwivedy, Aquapulse leverages technology to assist shrimp and fish farmers in optimizing their operations. Through app-based monitoring, the startup enables farmers to track water quality, predict shrimp growth, and manage feed efficiently, facilitating informed decision-making and heightened productivity. By employing AI-based pre-harvest systems, Aquapulse monitors critical parameters like water quality and disease risks to enhance feed efficiency and output quality.
In addition to its focus on AI-powered harvest systems, Aquapulse aims to strengthen its tech-driven transparent pricing model and further develop its aquaculture ecosystem. The startup’s direct farmer-to-buyer connection enhances price negotiation capabilities and reduces reliance on intermediaries, while digital expert advisory services support modern farming practices.
Aquapulse’s comprehensive approach spans post-harvest activities such as grading, cold storage, logistics, and compliance management, reflecting its commitment to revolutionizing the aquaculture industry in India.
