Summary
Founded in 2022 by Gaurav Ajmera, Vetic operates an integrated platform spanning veterinary clinics, diagnostics, surgical services, home care, insurance, pharmacy, and pet supplies. The company currently operates more than 65 clinics across 11 cities and runs 15 dedicated round-the-clock emergency facilities. Its network comprises over 250 veterinarians and serves more than 60,000 subscribed members, with digital health records maintained across all locations.
The $40 million capital injection will be allocated across four strategic priorities: expanding the clinic network and doubling veterinary workforce capacity (including in-clinic, home, and virtual care modalities); rolling out vet-at-home services nationally over the next two quarters; deepening insurance and wellness product offerings; and strengthening AI-powered technology capabilities for triaging, diagnostics, and personalized pet care recommendations. These investments reflect a consolidation-driven strategy targeting India's historically fragmented pet healthcare sector.
Vetic's funding trajectory demonstrates strong institutional backing. The startup raised seed funding in 2022 from angel investors, followed by approximately Rs 50 crore from Greenoaks and others in 2023, Rs 90 crore in 2024, and Rs 224 crore in a Series C round in 2025. The current round represents continued momentum from existing shareholders, with Bessemer Venture Partners maintaining its lead investor position. According to founder Ajmera, the company was conceived to address gaps in pet care quality and fragmentation—a market opportunity anchored in rising pet ownership and premiumization in urban India.
