AquaExchange Bags $8M Series B Funding to Revolutionize Indian Aquaculture with AI and IoT Tech

AquaExchange, a leading Indian aquaculture technology startup based in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, has raised $8 million in a Series B funding round.

The funding was co-led by Endiya Partners and Factor Analytics, with participation from existing investor Accion Ventures and support from Ocean 14 Capital.

Valuation Surge and Strategic Growth

This latest round has valued AquaExchange at approximately $41 million, marking a 74% increase from its Series A valuation in January 2024.

The capital infusion aims to scale the company's international technology operations and expand its domestic market share in the aquaculture sector.

Innovating Aquaculture Supply Chain

AquaExchange specializes in modernizing the global animal protein value chain through an AI and IoT-powered platform for shrimp and fish farming.

The platform connects aquafarmers directly with buyers, processors, and input providers, automating farm management and reducing risks.

In India, where Andhra Pradesh leads in aquaculture production, this technology addresses key challenges like disease outbreaks and supply inefficiencies.

Proven Track Record and Ambitious Future

Since its inception, AquaExchange has demonstrated rapid growth, building on its previous funding to deploy tech solutions across thousands of farms.

Looking ahead, the startup targets ₹275 crore in revenue for FY26 while deepening its presence in upstream segments of the value chain.

This funding underscores investor confidence in aquaculture's potential as a sustainable protein source amid rising global demand.

With this boost, AquaExchange is poised to lead the tech transformation of an industry critical to India's economy and food security.
