About Us
Our Story
Sapthagiri Hatcheries stands at the forefront of India's aquaculture revolution. With over two decades of trailblazing innovation, we have transformed from a modest seed production unit into one of the most technologically advanced hatcheries in Asia, producing more than 10 billion SPF-certified post-larvae (PLs) annually.
Our name has become synonymous with quality, trust, and sustainability. Operating at the intersection of scientific precision and farmer empowerment, we drive excellence in every batch. We introduced traceability to shrimp seed production, championed zero-antibiotic and biosecure farming practices, and pioneered India's first integrated live feed program. Every seed that leaves our hatchery carries a legacy of care, research, and purpose.
We don't just follow best practices—we set them. Our journey reflects a relentless commitment to aquaculture excellence and innovation that touches every stakeholder in the value chain.
