Vetic Secures $40 Million to Expand Tech-Integrated Pet Healthcare Network
Pet healthcare startup Vetic has raised $40 million (~₹377 crore) in a funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from existing investors Greenoaks Capital, tech investor Lachy Groom, and the JSW Family Office . The round values the Gurugram-based company at $130–140 million, up from $55 million in 2024 .
📊 What Vetic Is Building
Founded in 2022 by Gaurav Ajmera after his own cat Simba needed 25–30 visits across multiple vets for a correct diagnosis, Vetic operates India’s first fully connected pet healthcare platform . The startup’s network spans:
| Metric | Details |
|---|---|
| Clinics | 65+ across 11 cities |
| Emergency Facilities | 15 round-the-clock centres |
| Veterinarians | 250+ |
| Subscribed Members | 60,000+ |
| Revenue (FY25) | ₹66.6 crore (up from ₹26.5 crore in FY24) |
| Loss (FY25) | ₹65.6 crore (up from ₹41.3 crore) |

Vetic integrates consultations, diagnostics, surgeries, pharmacy, grooming, insurance, and wellness plans into a single platform—moving pet care from fragmented, doctor-led trade to a connected consumer healthcare ecosystem .
“Pet parents demand human-grade care, yet the systems built around pet care remain fragmented. Vetic is building a connected system where consultations, clinics, medicines, diagnostics, insurance, recovery, and wellness all work together.”
— Gaurav Ajmera, Founder & CEO, Vetic
💡 What the New Funds Will Do
The fresh capital will be deployed across several strategic priorities :
Network Expansion
- Add 25 new clinics over the next year in Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kolkata
- Double clinical capacity and veterinary workforce
- Roll out vet-at-home services nationally within two quarters
Technology & AI Investment
- Leverage AI for triaging, diagnostics, and personalised care recommendations
- Create digital health records for every pet from the first visit
- Standardise treatment protocols across the entire network
Product Expansion
- Deepen pet insurance and wellness offerings
- Expand e-pharmacy (300+ medicines across 700+ pincodes, 60-minute delivery)
- Scale quick commerce for 600+ pet products
🚀 Why Vetic’s Model Stands Out
Vetic’s 65 clinics double as fulfilment centres, allowing it to deliver pharmacy and pet products within 60 minutes across 1,200 pincodes . Its proprietary OS captures longitudinal health records and uses AI across touchpoints to move pet healthcare from reactive crisis management to continuous, always-on care .
“Gaurav and his team have turned a fragmented, doctor-led trade into a genuine consumer healthcare platform, with the unit economics and clinical standards to prove it.”
— Vishal Gupta, Partner, Bessemer Venture Partners
📈 The Bigger Picture
India’s pet care sector has attracted significant VC attention post-pandemic. In February 2026, Supertails raised $30 million from Singapore’s Venturi Partners, and in May 2025, Nestle picked up a minority stake in Drool . With pet ownership rising and consumers seeking quality healthcare for their companions, Vetic is positioning itself as a leader in India’s emerging pet wellness ecosystem—a category that investors increasingly see as the next major consumer opportunity.
