Street-level coordinate, derived from a registered address in Hebbal. We print the registered office as filed with the MCA, trimmed of contact details; it never appears in a report or an export, and a request from the company removes it within two working days.
This is the registered office on the company's own MCA filing, which is the address printed above. A registered office is frequently a founder's home, and it is not necessarily where the company works.

In their own words
Rakkad Aqua Private Limited is a Bengaluru-based aquaculture and ornamental fisheries enterprise that has pioneered the organised, technology-enabled retail and export of live ornamental fish in India. Founded by Nikhil Sood — a 25-year veteran of the ornamental fish industry, IUCN Red List Evaluator, and member of the IUCN Freshwater Fish Specialist Group — the company operates two distinct business verticals: Best4Pets.in — India's first and largest quarantine-first online ornamental fish retailer, serving 70,000+ customers pan-India with a catalogue of 1,000+ SKUs. Orders are fulfilled through temperature-controlled, live-safe logistics via Bluedart, ensuring industry-leading survival rates. The platform has demonstrated strong unit economics with high customer lifetime value and repeat purchase rates. India Gills — An MPEDA-registered B2B ornamental fish export division supplying live ornamental fish to buyers across 15+ countries, positioning India as a credible player in the global ornamental fish trade. The founder has co-discovered 13+ native Indian fish species and holds deep scientific credentials that distinguish the enterprise from conventional pet trade businesses. Rakkad Aqua sits at the intersection of e-commerce, aquaculture, biodiversity conservation, and export trade — addressing a largely unorganised ₹3,000+ crore domestic ornamental fish market with a structured, science-backed, logistics-capable operation.

What we do not know
- no funding signal of any kind
We have no liveness signal for any company on this site: no filings feed, no revenue, no check that the website still resolves. A startup existing here means a startup exists, not that a business is trading.
Is this your company?
Everything here comes from public government records. If something is wrong, the authoritative place to correct it is the Startup India portal itself, and we will pick the correction up on the next monthly snapshot.
