Captain Fresh revenue climbs 52% to ₹5,169 crore

Seafood supplier Captain Fresh reported ₹5,169 crore in revenue for fiscal year 2026, a 52% jump from last year. Its adjusted EBITDA nearly tripled to ₹371 crore. The Bengaluru-based firm said it stayed profitable for the second year, though it hasn’t published audited numbers yet. The company carried ₹2,300 crore in debt, mostly to keep extra inventory amid supply chain turmoil.

Why it mattersThis kind of growth and profitability is rare among Indian food supply startups aiming for IPO. Captain Fresh’s playbook of stockpiling against global disruptions worked, but the debt load will matter to future investors.
