Sadhaba Group
Carrying Forward the Glorious Maritime Legacy of Odisha
The Sadhaba Group stands as a tribute to the fearless Sadhabas — the ancient mariners of Kalinga who once ruled the seas with their courage, skill, and pioneering spirit. Inspired by their legacy, we began our journey in 1987 with a vision to bring innovation, excellence, and sustainability to India’s marine and fisheries industry.
Over the years, the group has grown into a consortium of five independent companies, each contributing uniquely to our mission of promoting marine excellence and technological advancement. Through continuous innovation, dedication to quality, and commitment to our people, we have built a trusted brand name — “SADHABA.”
