Aquapulse Raises the Bar for India’s Seafood Exports with Sustainable Aquaculture and AI Innovation

• ByStartupStory     |    August 1, 2025

Aquapulse, a tech-driven startup led by Abhishek Dwivedy, is transforming the seafood industry with a powerful blend of sustainability, AI, and deep industry knowledge. As global demand rises for clean, traceable protein sources, Aquapulse is positioning India as a premium supplier of sustainable seafood exports through a model rooted in innovation, compliance, and community empowerment.

The company is strategically expanding to key global markets including the UK, Middle East, South Korea, Mauritius, and Maldives by leveraging globally certified practices and pioneering post-harvest technologies. With seafood certified by BAP and ASC standards, Aquapulse guarantees safety, traceability, and high quality, addressing increasing international expectations for sustainable sourcing.

“Our post-harvest model is the first-of-its-kind in Southeast Asia,” says Abhishek Dwivedy, Co-founder and CEO. “We are integrating the supply chain from farm to global markets, ensuring consistent quality, efficient delivery, and full transparency for every shipment.”

Aquapulse’s AI-powered seafood platform is more than a tech solution it’s a lifeline for aquaculture farmers in India. The platform helps farmers understand market dynamics, adopt sustainable practices, and receive better pricing for their export-grade seafood. By enabling direct access to international buyers, Aquapulse removes middlemen and empowers producers with tools to scale.

In the coming years, the company plans to engage over 20,000 farmers across Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and West Bengal, transforming 12 key production zones into hubs for premium, sustainable seafood. These regions will not only boost rural incomes but also help India assert its dominance in the global seafood economy.

Aquapulse’s AI in seafood industry operations isn’t just for efficiency it enables smarter decision-making across the board. From market trend analysis to disease prediction in farms and post-harvest optimization, the platform helps scale production sustainably.

This data-driven approach has helped Aquapulse define new target markets and improve operational accuracy, aligning with global shifts toward sustainable seafood exports and cleaner protein sourcing.

Dwivedy emphasizes a core issue with many aqua-tech startups in India: a lack of sectoral expertise. “Aquaculture isn’t just about deploying tech; it’s about knowing the biology, the markets, the ground reality. Our team’s domain knowledge is our biggest asset,” he says.

Aquapulse’s commitment goes beyond individual success. It’s about building a scalable, sustainable seafood economy that benefits farmers, exporters, and global consumers alike. With a “Glocal” philosophy local production with global standards the company embodies the potential of Indian innovation on the world stage.

As the world pivots toward sustainable and traceable food systems, Aquapulse stands at the vanguard of this transformation. The company is not only exporting high-quality seafood but also exporting India’s capability to build ethical, AI-enabled, traceable seafood supply chains that deliver on global expectations.

Through vision, innovation, and an unrelenting focus on impact, Aquapulse is redefining how India produces, packages, and presents seafood to the world. In the years ahead, it aims to lead not just in volume but in values.
