The problem
A category lived in spreadsheets and WhatsApp.
Vet records on paper. Bookings on Instagram DMs. NGO intakes in shared sheets. Insurers underwriting blind. The result: poor outcomes, high fraud, lost lifetime value.
- Fragmented supply across tens of thousands of independent providers.
- No portable medical record — every visit starts from zero.
- Trust gap with first-time pet parents in tier-1 and tier-2 cities.
Why now
Three forces converging.
- Pet humanization, post-COVIDYounger, urban households are spending materially more per pet, per year.
- Digital rails are readyUPI, account-aggregator, DPDP and DigiLocker make a compliant national platform finally feasible.
- No incumbentPure-play e-commerce and niche apps exist — none own the system of record.
