You set the requirement — we handle it at origin
We don't sell seafood. We source it for you — verifying, negotiating, and delivering to spec across five global markets.
A Cochin-based sourcing agent acting as your buyer's representative for over 25 years. One partner managing the whole chain — supplier licenses, price negotiation, quality inspection, and logistics to your port, purely to your requirements.
India's coastline. Dubai's reach.
Four strategic offices give us direct access to supply across India's seafood coastline — and a presence in the Gulf market we serve.

Decades of expertise behind every order
Oceanpearl is led by seafood professionals who have spent their careers in sourcing, quality, and global trade.
Managing Director
Over the past two decades, our mission has been the same: bridge the gap between seafood buyers and sellers across the globe, backed by technical knowledge and absolute transparency.
My journey in this industry began in 1993, following my post-graduation in Fisheries Science. I spent years understanding the biological, quality, and commercial sides of the trade before founding this company to serve as a trusted partner in global seafood commerce. Over 33 years in the seafood trade, and more than 25 years running Ocean Pearl as dedicated buyer agents since 2001, we've safeguarded our clients' interests, held the line on quality compliance, and navigated supply chains that don't always cooperate. Working across 20+ countries, whether you're an importer looking for reliable sourcing or an exporter expanding into new markets, our job is to make sure your trade is seamless, profitable, and built on trust that lasts past one shipment.
I've always believed buyer agency is more than closing deals. It's being on the ground. Understanding the product, not just the paperwork. Mitigating risk for buyers and sellers who are often trusting each other from opposite sides of the planet. Today, with a team covering quality control, marketing, and documentation, I'm proud of the network we've built — and the confidence our partners place in us, every single day.
