DeepSea Master

Connected-hardware + SaaS for the world's third-largest fishing nation, safety, intelligence and fleet monitoring for 1.46 lakh vessels.

₹50k boat entry ₹2.5L vessel entry Hardware + services

THE PROBLEM

India's fishing fleet is huge, vital, and unconnected.

Unsafe

Fishers die in cyclones and accidents; boats go dark ~3 km offshore with no SOS or tracking.

Fragmented

Nav, safety, comms and monitoring are separate, mostly imported point products, expensive and un-integrated.

Inefficient

Fuel is the top cost; catch is guesswork; owners have no visibility into their own fleets.

A ₹60,000+ Cr export engine still runs on boats with almost no digital infrastructure.

WHY NOW

Demand is regulated, funded and urgent.

₹364Cr

funded program to connect 1 lakh vessels, demand the government pays for

PMMSY / NSIL 2023

₹20,050Cr

PMMSY outlay backing fisheries safety & modernisation

EU digital catch-traceability becomes mandatory for exporters

EU IUU / MPEDA

Subsidy de-risks the buyer, mandates create the pull, and export rules demand traceability, all tailwinds for DSM.

WHAT IS DEEPSEA MASTER

One integrated system for the entire vessel.

DeepSea Master (DSM) unifies navigation, safety, surveillance, communications and onboard monitoring into a single rugged bridge, purpose-built for fishing boats and trawlers.

It turns a fishing vessel into a connected, monitored, and safer asset, on the water and from shore.

Navigate

Offline charts, route planning & live vessel tracking.

Protect

Crew safety e-tags, SOS, smoke & environment sensing.

Stay connected

Cellular-primary with satellite SOS beyond coverage.

Monitor the fleet

Owners & authorities track every boat in real time.

CAPABILITIES

Ten critical systems. One bridge.

Navigation

Offline route planning & tracking

People Safety

Crew e-tags, SOS, panic & smoke

Surveillance

IP cameras on critical zones

AIS & Net Locator

Boat position + net-buoy tracking

Weather (2-way)

Marine forecast on the bridge

Fish Data

Where-to-fish intelligence

Satellite Comms

SOS backup out of coverage

Cellular Comms

Primary real-time data link

Room Management

Compartment-level monitoring

Owner & Fleet App

Central monitoring & tracking

Every module runs through the Master Bridge Unit and surfaces on the onboard HMI, the companion app, and the shore dashboard.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Four core components, end to end.

ONBOARD

Navigation HMI

Rugged bridge display

Companion App

Failover control

Slave Bridge Units

Room-level sensing

Weather / Nav-Light BU

Auxiliary units

MASTER BRIDGE + COMMS

Comparison reflects typical configurations of imported premium marine electronics (Garmin/Furuno/Simrad class) and single-purpose NavIC safety transponders.

MARKET

A ₹2,185 Cr starting-price hardware floor.

TAM FLOOR

₹2,185 Cr

1.46 lakh powered vessels, applying the ₹50k boat and ₹2.5L vessel starting tiers.

MECHANISED BASE

₹1,819 Cr

72,749 mechanised vessels × the ₹2.5L starting configuration.

5K INSTALL BASE

₹25–125 Cr

Hardware revenue range before recurring connectivity and data services.

This is a conservative starting-price hardware model; configuration upgrades and recurring services expand contract value.

BUSINESS MODEL

Land with hardware. Expand with connected services.

₹50,000+

Fishing-boat hardware

A lower-friction entry configuration for direct fleet and harbour-level sales.

₹2.5 lakh+

Fishing-vessel hardware

Higher-value integrated bridge, sensing, safety and communications package.

Expansion revenue: connectivity, weather, fish intelligence, fleet dashboard and monitoring are priced by enabled service set. Every connected vessel creates a recurring service relationship.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

We own the integrated, India-priced quadrant.

INTEGRATED SUITE

SINGLE PURPOSE

IMPORTED / COSTLY

INDIA-PRICED

Furuno / Garmin

Marine radar/sonar

NavIC transponder

DeepSea Master

Integration is the moat

Nav + safety + comms + IoT + fleet in one stack, no one else bundles it for this segment.

Make-in-India edge

Procurement preference & local service vs. imported black boxes.

Fleet lock-in

The shore dashboard makes multi-boat owners sticky.

GO-TO-MARKET

Three channels, one install base.

Fleet owners

Land multi-vessel owners first, the fleet dashboard is the wedge and the ARR multiplier.

Government tenders

PMMSY / state fisheries rollouts and NSIL vendor empanelment for subsidised volume.

Coastal distributors

Harbour-level dealers & installers for reach and after-sales across landing centres.

Rax-Tech's 25-year hardware base gives manufacturing, supply chain and B2G relationships from day one.

COMMERCIAL READINESS & MILESTONES

Build proof through paid enterprise deployments.

Commercial foundation

Direct sales motion for fleet owners and public-sector buyers

Two price-led entry configurations for boats and vessels

No customer or pilot count claimed until deployments are contracted

Next 12 to 18 months

Win the first paid vessel deployments and document operating proof

NSIL / state tender empanelment

Convert installed vessels into recurring connected-service contracts

CAPITAL OBJECTIVE

Milestone-linked scale

Fund paid pilots, certification, production readiness, field operations and working capital, with raise size tied to the first deployment plan.

NEXT STEPS

Back the digital backbone of Indian fishing.
