Prosus in conversation with Utham Gowda, founder of Captain Fresh

Since its inception in 2019, Captain Fresh, a tech-enabled B2B seafood marketplace, has rapidly emerged as a preferred monetisation partner for supplier communities across the Indian coast. Captain Fresh has become a reliable alternative to the wholesale wet markets in these cities for suppliers and B2B customers. The company’s deep tech layer enables a seamless process when carrying out traditional trade and helps optimise the value delivered to the supply communities. Captain Fresh empowers small fishermen and farmers through its platform that aggregates the fragmented retail demand from across the country.

The company's founder, Utham Gowda,, speaks about the evolution of Captain Fresh and how the company is fundamentally reimagining the ecosystem of the $400 billion fish industry to increase the take-home for fishermen and the five years of research that went into becoming a leading player in the industry.
