Oceanblue Aqua Hatcheries Private Limited

Over at Oceanblue Aqua Hatcheries Private Limited, we are located in Veleepparambil, which is in the Pattanakkad area. If you know the road through Cherthala in Alappuzha, you know the kind of watery landscape we have here. We deal with hatcheries, so water is basically our whole life. It is a messy job most days. You are always wearing boots and dealing with tanks and nets. We started this company because the location was perfect for the kind of water quality we needed. Alappuzha has its challenges, especially when the rains are heavy and everything floods a bit. We don't have a big fancy office building. We just work out of our facility on the ground. The crew is mostly local guys who have been around water their whole lives. We don't really do marketing or anything like that. People mostly find out about us by talking to each other at the local markets. My brother and I run the day-to-day things. Sometimes the equipment breaks down at the worst possible time, like in the middle of the night. You just have to get up and fix it yourself. It’s a lot of responsibility keeping the stock healthy. We don't have a grand vision, we just want to do a decent job every day and make sure the hatchery stays productive. It is a quiet way to earn a living, even if it is a bit damp.
