Quality & Responsible Sourcing​

“At Big Sam’s, the customer is our priority and we understand that quality and traceability are paramount. Thanks to strict quality control processes, our products are procured, packed and dispatched with the greatest care and hygiene. Our team tests every shipment for quality and freshness.

Given the sensitive nature of our products, we ensure that the correct temperature is maintained throughout the journey of the product, all the way to the customer’s doorstep.

Our global network of suppliers allows us to ensure that our products are sourced only from the most reputable and sustainable sources across the world.”

History

On returning to India after completing his MBA from Harvard Business School, Lavin Samtani noticed a gap in the availability of good quality salmon and seafood products in the country. He saw that the Indian consumer was evolving, becoming more health conscious, and had global exposure to food. The demand for nutrient rich, honestly sourced products was growing, but there was a lack of options – thus Big Sam’s was founded in 2012.

We started off selling our Norwegian Salmon at a few stores around Mumbai. As demand picked up, we expanded our product range and started retailing at more stores. Over time, we have expanded our product range to a host of seafood, meat and vegetarian products. Today, our presence extends across all major supermarkets and e-commerce channels (including our own) across the country so our products are easily available to our customers.

We are the first and only brand that sells Organic Norwegian Salmon in India. 

Thanks to our commitment to quality and our loyal customer-base, Big Sam’s is a frontrunner in introducing new, high-quality seafood & meat to our customers in India.

As a family business, we take a long-term view on everything we do. We are grounded by our core values, backed by several decades of experience and motivated by our commitment to our customers. We believe in being honest in everything we do.

Mission & Vision

Mission

To make top quality and nutritious seafood & meats accessible to our customers in India.

To improve each of our customers’ lives through quality products sourced honestly.

Vision

To be the No.1 trusted choice for seafood and meat in households across India.

Aquaculture

Indepesca has its own allocated farming facilities for Tilapia and Pangasius (Basa) in India, as well as a government authorised hatchery. Our quality control processes and strict hygiene practices ensure the fish is of the best quality. The cages are closely monitored by our team of experts – right from the feed to the growth of the fish. This provides for a unique farm to fork experience for our customers

Our parent company, Triton Group, is a leader in innovation and design of aquaculture cages. It was the first of its kind in India to start cage culture of Pangasius on a commercial scale and has been felicitated by the Government of India for the same.

Institutional Sales

Since the inception of the company, in 2012, Big Sam’s has had an actively operating Institutional Sales division. We have quickly grown to become one of India’s leading suppliers of seafood and meats, setting the standard in the Indian food industry. Thanks to our multiple-level quality checks, we are the preferred choice of India’s top 5-star hotel chains and restaurants. Right from the production until the delivery, quality is closely monitored by our team of experts, which includes the product itself along with the packaging, labelling, storage temperature and logistics.

Our Institutional Sales catalogue covers an extensive list of seafood & meat and caters to various requests and customisations.

Giving back to society is important to us and so we make it part of what we do. At Big Sam’s, we know that giving time is just as important as giving money, and therefore, each member of the Big Sam’s family has contributed their time & effort towards making the world a better place. Children’s education and well-being is a cause we believe in strongly. Only when our youth is empowered, can our world excel. Therefore we have tied up with the Vatsalya Foundation  to help them in whatever way we can.
