ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Built from experience at sea.
R.M. Nimesh Reghu
Founder — SeaStart Maritime Consultancy
With 25 years of professional sailing experience, I founded SeaStart with a simple objective: to help aspiring seafarers, particularly students from coastal and rural communities, understand the maritime profession through genuine and practical guidance.
In 2012, I completed NCV at LBS Mumbai. After a long sailing career, I came ashore in June 2026 to focus on helping the next generation make better-informed maritime career decisions.
“My aim is not just to help students enter the maritime industry. It is to help them enter it with the right understanding.”
