The Waterbase Ltd. was incorporated in 1987 as India’s first fully integrated aquaculture company. It was initially set up in technical association with LUXE, Taiwan, which is one of the world’s largest producers of prawn and fish feeds.

Over the years, the company has collaborated with several industry experts, as well as leading global aquaculture institutes and universities to develop industry-wide best practices through a focus on product development, R&D, farm services and animal health care.
