Jaljeevika

At Centre For Aquatic Livelihood | Jaljeevika, our goal has always been to turn potential into prosperity. For the past year, in collaboration with Vrutti -Livelihood Impact Partners we have been on an intensive journey mentoring and training the Daryawardi Producer Company Limited (DPCL)— a dynamic collective of Koli fisherwomen.
Our focus was :
- Product Development: Refining the "sea-to-plate" process and Value addition.

- Market Testing: Understanding urban demand in cities like Mumbai and Pune.

- Consumer Relations: Building the trust required for a niche seafood brand.

After a year of playing the role of mentors and trainers, we decided it was time for the ultimate test. We stepped out of our advisory shoes and into the role of the customer.
We placed an order for their fresh Surmai (King Fish) at pune, and the results were exceptional. Seeing these women manage the supply chain—from the catch to cleaning, cutting, and delivering a "full-plate" sized, fresh product to Pune—is a proud moment for us.

The verdict? Freshness you can taste, portions that impress, and prices that remain accessible.
