Indian Captain Fresh, has hired Jayant Prakash as its new Vice President of Legal and Compliance to drive finance, secretarial, and compliance performance.
This comes after the digital platform-based seafood distribution company chose Axis Capital Ltd. and Bank of America (BofA) as bankers for its planned initial public offering (IPO) next year, according to Inc42, India's largest tech media platform.
Regarding his hiring, Prakash published: "Just a few days in, and I already feel at home with the team here laser-focused on making a meaningful impact. Looking forward to the incredible milestones we will achieve together!"
Captain Fresh was founded in 2019 by former seafood and finance executive Utham Gowda, offering a farm-to-retail platform for animal protein, particularly fish and seafood. Four years later, it announced a successful C-funding round, raising a further US $20 million to fuel its expansion worldwide.
The investment was led by Japan-based SBI Investment and Evolvence Capital, and complemented by continued support from Captain Fresh's internal investors, including Accel, Matrix Partners India, Prosus Ventures and Tiger Global.
