Captain Fresh

With the aim of delivering the fastest harvest-to-retail, we at Captain Fresh are journeying beyond the horizons to revolutionise the B2B and B2B2C seafood marketplace and supply chain. We do this by leveraging AI, ML, IoT, Data and Analytics, and other cutting-edge technologies to empower local fishermen while delighting businesses with reliable, convenient, and fresh supplies. Founded by Utham Gowda in 2019, we started with a vision to power the seafood supply chain with exceptional solutions. Soon, we grew into one of the only players in the market to bring in intelligence for superior demand-supply matching, standardising the quality of supplies, and maintaining digital traceability systems. With plans for further expansion, we are pioneering innovative solutions, including a seamless platform for e-auctions and community connect, advanced digital factory management, customised ERP, and a multi-channel demand generation engine. Currently, we work with 2500+ businesses, serving 120+ retailers in 10 cities, and have raised total funding of $126.7M, bringing our valuation to $500M. Our seasoned leaders and spirited team of 1000+ captains are at the forefront of this disruption, continually envisioning and innovating the next big thing. We strongly believe in ‘play hard, work smart, which is reflected in our energetic, fast-paced, and collaborative work environment. Envisioning a growth of 100X in the near future, we are here to create limitless possibilities for people and processes, and we are having a lot of fun doing it!
