Simon Norris
Executive Director
I have been a fanatical aquarist since childhood and have kept and bred hundreds of species of fish, Reptiles and Amphibians over the past 40 years or more. For 3 generations my family have been creating innovative solutions for aquariums and zoological exhibits spanning almost a century. I have a need to share my passion for wildlife and wild places and believe that people will only care for and protect what they can see and experience for themselves.
Creating habitats that tell a story about their inhabitants that are naturalistic, stimulating, safe and easy to maintain drives my passion. Animals are great teachers and every day I learn and appreciate more about the importance of ensuring they are cared for; both in their natural domain and under human care.

Joshua Reuben
Executive Director
I have always believed that if an organization wants to introspect whether it is doing things correctly, all it need to do is to check if it’s customers and users are happy. Going by this straightforward philosophy has always allowed me to depend on word-of-mouth publicity and my client’s patronage stands testament to my belief.
My motivation comes from something very simple… I showed my client a dream, it is now my commitment that my organization delivers that dream and transforms it into a reality with the highest level of precision and quality at a competitive cost for my client !
Fueled by this belief, driven by passion and supported by a team that is inspired by nature, we at MadOverFish have been able to deliver masterpiece Tourism Attraction Projects in the fields of Aquariums & Oceanariums, Zoos and Museums.
We dream that people should not have to travel across the globe to experience tourist attractions such as Aquariums, Zoos or Interpretation Centers, there should be one nearby in every city. In fact our projects should attract tourists from across the globe.

Pankaj Purohit
Head - AMC & Procurement
My passion for fish started at the age of five which turned me into a hardcore hobbyist, and that over the past 40+ years has turned me into a Senior Aquarist who heads ever expanding team to maintain all aquatic exhibits.
My philosophy of dealing with aquatic life is understanding their biotope requirements, feeding requirements & habits, building strong immunity and how the fish feels happy which a hardcore hobbyist can sense with years of experience.
I have had the privilege of dealing with lots of challenges through this exciting journey.
My love for nature, animals and appreciating its beauty has groomed me to understand their requirements in a more refined manner. Learning, observing and delivering with experience is my mantra of working.
IF I HAVE TO PICK A SLOGAN IT WOULD BE – “WE UNDERSTAND THE BODY LANGUAGE OF FISH”.
