About Dam Good Fish

Co-founded in 2023 by entrepreneurs Shobhit Gaur and Shailesh Patel, Dam Good Fish is dedicated to delivering exceptionally fresh, naturally raised fish directly from dams to consumers. The startup prioritises high-quality, chemical-free seafood while championing sustainability and operational transparency.

Innovative “Demand-to-Harvest” Operating System

Based in Gurugram, DGF is developing a cutting-edge “Demand-to-Harvest” operating system, which accurately predicts demand at the pincode level, ensuring that procurement and harvesting are synchronised with actual consumption patterns. This approach utilises a meticulously controlled cold-chain network to minimise post-harvest waste and enhance inventory turnover, ultimately improving unit economics.

AI Integration for Enhanced Operations

DGF incorporates artificial intelligence across several crucial operations, including demand forecasting, procurement insights, inventory optimisation, and monitoring of the cold-chain logistics. In the Delhi NCR region, the company boasts a repeat purchase rate exceeding 55%, maintains a base of more than 5,000 active households, and collaborates with B2B platforms like Hyperpure.

Plans for Expansion

At present, DGF is focusing on solidifying its presence within Delhi NCR, with plans to expand into major markets such as Mumbai and Bengaluru. The company is committed to scaling its operations in a measured fashion, concentrating on pincode-level density, repeat consumption trends, and predictable demand cycles.
