Captain Fresh raises Rs 290 Cr from Blue Earth Capital Seafood supply chain startup Captain Fresh has secured Rs 290 crore in sustainability-linked financing from global impact investor Blue Earth Capital. The funding will be used to expand Captain Fresh’s global distribution capabilities and strengthen sustainability initiatives across seafood value chains. Founded in 2020 by Utham Gowda, Captain Fresh operates a technology-driven platform that integrates seafood sourcing, processing and distribution. The company’s digital operating system focuses on improving traceability and efficiency across the fragmented seafood supply chain. Captain Fresh sells packaged seafood through a portfolio of brands including CenSea, Frime, Koral, Senecrus, ChopServe, Ocean Edge and Ocean Garden. Its customer base includes distributors and retailers across markets such as the US, Europe, the UAE and India. During FY25, the company claims to have served around 1,300 customers across more than 30 countries and traded in over 90 seafood species including shrimp, salmon, tuna and lobster. Its sourcing network spans more than 650 suppliers across 35 countries. Bengaluru-based Captain Fresh has expanded globally through acquisitions. Last week, it completed the acquisition of Spain-based tuna processor Frime. In 2024, it acquired Poland-based salmon company Koral. Earlier, it acquired US-based seafood importer CenSea and France-based seafood distributor Senecrus. According to its FY25 financials, Captain Fresh reported a 2.5X jump in gross merchandise value to Rs 3,421 crore in FY25 from Rs 1,395 crore in FY24.
