Mumbai's Koli women transform centuries-old fishing trade into modern enterprise. Daryavardi Producer Company Limited, founded in April 2023, represents a significant shift in how informal seafood commerce is being formalized. The community-owned company now operates with over 1,000 shareholders and uses digital ordering systems, centralised logistics, and modern packaging strategies. Women who traditionally sold fish from baskets now manage a diversified business producing masalas, pickles, and seafood snacks. By adopting the Amul cooperative model, DPCL aims to revolutionize Mumbai's blue economy while preserving cultural identity and collective ownership. The company generated Rs 20 lakh in recent quarterly revenue through WhatsApp orders and online delivery platforms.
