India's love for pets is turning into a serious business opportunity. Riding the wave, pet healthcare startup Vetic has raised $40 million in fresh funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners to add more clinics and strengthen its technology-driven care platform.
For millions of Indians, pets are no longer just companions, they're family. And as spending on their health and wellness rises, investors are taking notice.
Gurugram-based pet healthcare startup Vetic has raised $40 million in a funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with existing investors Greenoaks Capital, Lachy Groom and JSW Family Office also participating. The fresh capital comes as India's pet care industry witnesses growing demand for organized and technology-led services.
Founded by former OYO executive Gaurav Ajmera, Vetic offers a range of services spanning veterinary consultations, diagnostics, surgeries, grooming, pharmacy and wellness through its clinics and digital platform. Over the past few years, the startup has steadily expanded its presence, positioning itself as a one-stop destination for pet parents.
With the new funding in place, Vetic plans to open more clinics, hire additional veterinary professionals and invest further in technology. The company is also looking to strengthen services such as at-home care and wellness offerings as it broadens its reach.
The investment reflects a larger shift taking place in India's pet care market. As more households embrace pet ownership and spend increasingly on healthcare and preventive care, startups are finding opportunities in a sector that has traditionally remained fragmented.
For pet owners, finding quality care has often meant juggling between neighbourhood vets, pharmacies and grooming centres. Vetic is betting that bringing these services under one roof can make life simpler and investors appear convinced that the opportunity is only getting bigger.
