Our Team

Ajesh Vinodrai Patel

MD & Chairman

At Oceanic Foods Limited, our journey has been shaped by bold ideas, enduring values, and a deep respect for the land that sustains us. In 1972, we took a pioneering step by establishing India’s oldest dehydration plant, laying the foundation for what would grow into a globally respected name in the food processing industry.

What began as a modest family venture has evolved into a trusted supplier of premium dehydrated spices, herbs, and vegetables to clients across the globe.

At every stage of our growth, we’ve remained committed to a simple belief: quality and integrity must never be compromised.

As the third-generation leader of this legacy, I see our role not just as manufacturers, but as custodians of food, relationships, and the environment.

We are continuously evolving to meet the demands of a changing world - investing in advanced technologies, strengthening farmer partnerships, and expanding our product portfolio to serve both emerging markets and increasingly conscious consumers.

Just as essential is our deepening commitment to sustainability. We recognize that long-term success is inseparable from the well-being of our planet.

From optimizing energy use and recycling water to adopting clean energy solutions and responsible sourcing practices, we are actively building a more sustainable and resilient future.

This isn’t just a strategic direction — it’s a responsibility we embrace for generations to come.

Looking ahead, our vision is bold: to strengthen our leadership in India’s dehydration industry and emerge as a dominant global force. With a high-performing team, robust infrastructure, and an unwavering focus on innovation and sustainability, Oceanic is driven to push boundaries — setting new benchmarks not just in market presence, but in the values and impact we bring to the world.

Forum Ajesh Patel

CEO

At Oceanic Foods, we don’t just produce dehydrated ingredients — we preserve nature’s essence and deliver it to the world.

Since 1972, when we pioneered India’s oldest dehydration plant, our story has been one of quiet transformation: steadily growing, adapting, and staying ahead without losing sight of who we are.

Over the decades, we’ve navigated market cycles, shifting consumer landscapes, and global disruptions. These challenges have not defined us — they have refined us.

Today, Oceanic stands as a resilient, forward-thinking organization that blends the integrity of a family-run business with the capabilities of a globally competitive enterprise.

As CEO, I see our responsibility as twofold: to honor the legacy we’ve inherited and to shape the future we envision. That future is bold.

We aim to not only deepen our leadership within India, but to strengthen our position as a global benchmark in the dehydration space — known for quality, reliability, and purpose-driven growth.

Sustainability is no longer an option, it is our responsibility. Our efforts to reduce waste, recycle water, adopt clean energy, and invest in ethical sourcing are embedded into our strategy.

These are not symbolic efforts — they are essential to how we build resilience and relevance in a rapidly changing world.

With an empowered team, long-standing farmer networks, and state-of-the-art processing capabilities, Oceanic Foods is ready for what’s next. We are committed to being the partner our clients can count on — for consistency, for innovation, and for a shared vision of nourishing the world, responsibly.

Krishna Kumar Seth

General Manager

Mr. K.K. Sheth has been a vital part of Oceanic Foods Limited since January 1973, bringing over 55 years of expertise in the food processing industry.

Starting as Production Incharge shortly after the company’s inception, Mr. Sheth has grown alongside Oceanic to become its General Manager, playing a critical role in establishing the company’s operational excellence and global presence.

Holding a graduate degree in Agriculture, a postgraduate degree in Food Technology, and certification in Seed Technology from Rockefeller, USA, Mr. Sheth’s technical proficiency and leadership were instrumental in commissioning Oceanic’s first dehydration plant and developing high-performing production teams.

He pioneered Oceanic’s export operations, including early shipments of raw onion and garlic to Russia, and was key in securing contracts to supply dehydrated food products to the Indian Army.

Throughout his career, Mr. Sheth has traveled extensively across more than eleven countries to build and maintain strong client relationships, reflecting his commitment to quality and customer trust.

At 83 years old, Mr. Sheth continues to demonstrate unwavering dedication and passion, remaining actively involved in day-to-day operations and guiding Oceanic’s strategic growth. His long-standing contributions and industry insight make him an invaluable leader within the organization.

Shrinivas Anil Jani

CFO

At Oceanic Foods Limited, financial strength is more than a measure of success — it is the backbone of our resilience, credibility, and long-term vision.

As CFO, my responsibility is to ensure that our growth is sustainable, our operations are efficient, and our financial strategies support both innovation and accountability.

Like every enduring business, Oceanic has faced its share of challenges — from volatile global markets and shifting regulatory frameworks to supply chain disruptions and climatic pressures.

But what defines us is not the adversity we’ve encountered, but how we’ve responded to it. We have not only weathered these challenges — we’ve emerged stronger, more agile, and more focused, with renewed clarity on what it takes to thrive in a dynamic global environment.

Our financial discipline, combined with a deep-rooted commitment to operational excellence, has enabled us to reinvest in key areas: infrastructure modernization, product diversification, and global market expansion.

We’ve also prioritized digital transformation — building agile systems that support data-driven decision-making and strengthen compliance across every level of the business.

Today, as we scale our international presence, we remain grounded in the principles that have guided us for over five decades — prudence, transparency, and long-term value creation. At the same time, we are aligning our financial strategy with our broader sustainability goals, ensuring that every step forward is taken with responsibility toward people, planet, and purpose.

Oceanic Foods is built on a legacy of perseverance and progress. With a clear roadmap and a resilient foundation, I am confident in our ability to deliver meaningful, measurable growth — and to continue earning the trust of partners around the world.
