Aquaculture that works in the North East
We design, build, manage and connect aquaculture and fisheries enterprises. From the first resource assessment to the first consignment sold, we stay on the project.
Consulting that comes from field practice, not templates.
Technology sourced globally, made to run in North East conditions.
Project management from DPR through commissioning to steady state operations.
Market connect so that what is produced actually sells at a fair price.
A consulting and integration company for aquaculture
Living Roots Network Private Limited is headquartered in Guwahati and works across the eight States of the North East, in other parts of India, and internationally. We work with State fisheries departments, development agencies, banks, producer organisations and private promoters.
The region has water, climate and demand. What it lacks is the connective work: rigorous project design, technology that survives contact with local conditions, management that carries a project past commissioning, and market links that reward the farmer. That is the work we do.
Six ways we work
We work across four connected lines — consulting and advisory, technology integration, project development and management, and market connect. Capacity building and sustainability run through all four.
Aquaculture consulting and advisory
Independent technical and commercial advice across the aquaculture value chain, grounded in field conditions rather than textbook yields.
Read moreTechnology integration
We do not just recommend technology. We source it, adapt it, install it, integrate it and keep it running.
Read moreProject development and management
From baseline assessment to a facility that is producing at design capacity. We take responsibility for the whole arc, not a document…
Read moreMarket connect
Production is only half the problem. We build the route from the pond to a buyer who pays a fair, stable price.
Read moreCapacity building and producer institutions
Individual farmers do not have the scale to buy inputs well, access finance, meet quality standards or negotiate price. Institutions give them…
Read moreSustainability, standards and certification
Aquaculture can restore a water body or ruin it. The difference is design. Sustainability is not an add on service here, it…
Read moreA region built for aquaculture, and underbuilt for it
North East India has abundant surface water, a long growing season, strong domestic fish demand and a large deficit met by supply from outside the region. Closing that gap is a regional economic opportunity, not just a fisheries programme.
We are based here. We work here first. That means shorter response times, an understanding of terrain and logistics, and working relationships with the departments, institutions and communities who make projects work.
We work in partnership, not in isolation
Aquaculture development needs institutional mandate, community trust, technical depth and market reach in the same project. We work in close collaboration with the Global Association of MSMEs and the School of Livelihood and Rural Development, alongside technology partners and research institutions in India and abroad.

Across the value chain
Six connected sectors of the aquaculture and fisheries value chain. Most projects touch more than one.
Local delivery, global practice
Aquaculture knowledge moves fast, and most of it is not generated in India. We maintain working relationships with institutions, technology owners, standards bodies and companies in other countries, and bring what is proven into projects here. The same relationships take our services outward, to other Indian States and to other countries.
