Starcore Refrigeration

Starcore Refrigeration Limited is an Indian manufacturer specializing in industrial refrigeration systems and cold chain solutions primarily for the frozen food industry. Founded in 2012 by Kartik Nagarajan and Ramachandran Padmavathi, the company builds advanced machines such as Individual Quick Freezers (IQF), spiral freezers with AI-driven controls, chillers, banana ripening rooms, vibration shakers, and freeze-dried vegetable processors. Their mission centers on reducing post-harvest losses of perishable foods to empower farmers and women while supporting India's agricultural value chain. While their technologies are relevant to sectors requiring temperature-controlled logistics—including healthcare—their primary business focus is not directly within life sciences or pharmaceuticals but rather serves the broader needs of cold storage across industries.
