Can Vetic Become India’s Pet Healthcare Leader After Its $40 Million Funding Round?
India’s fast-growing pet healthcare market has attracted another major investment, with pet health startup Vetic raising $40 million in a fresh funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners.
The round also saw participation from existing investors Greenoaks Capital, Lachy Groom, and JSW Family Office, reinforcing investor confidence in the company’s ambitious plans to build a full-stack pet healthcare ecosystem across India.
Notably, Entrackr had exclusively reported in May 2025 that Vetic was in advanced discussions to secure a new funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners. The latest announcement confirms those plans and marks one of the largest investments in India’s pet healthcare sector.
The funding comes at a time when rising pet ownership, growing awareness around preventive healthcare, and increasing spending on pet wellness are reshaping the country’s pet care landscape.
How Will Vetic Use The Fresh Capital?
The newly raised capital will be deployed across multiple growth initiatives as Vetic looks to strengthen its position in India’s organized pet healthcare market.
The company plans to expand its clinic network, hire and train more veterinary professionals, and strengthen its in-clinic, at-home, and virtual healthcare offerings.
A significant portion of the funds will also be invested in technology, artificial intelligence capabilities, insurance products, and wellness programs.
One of the startup’s biggest priorities is the nationwide rollout of its “Vet at Home” service over the next two quarters, allowing pet owners to access professional veterinary care from the comfort of their homes.
The expansion is expected to significantly increase Vetic’s reach beyond traditional clinic-based healthcare delivery.
What Is Vetic And Who Founded It?
Founded in 2022 by Gaurav Ajmera, Vetic operates an integrated pet healthcare platform designed to address the fragmented nature of veterinary care in India.
The startup combines veterinary clinics, emergency care centers, diagnostics, surgeries, pharmacy services, pet supplies, insurance products, and home healthcare services within a single ecosystem.
Its goal is to create a standardized healthcare experience for pets while making quality veterinary services more accessible to pet owners.
By integrating multiple services under one platform, Vetic is attempting to build a healthcare infrastructure similar to what organized healthcare chains have achieved in the human healthcare sector.
How Large Is Vetic’s Current Network?
In just a few years, Vetic has established a significant operational footprint.
The Gurugram-based company currently operates more than 65 clinics across 11 cities and runs 15 emergency care facilities.
According to the company, its platform serves over 60,000 subscribed members, making it one of the largest organized pet healthcare networks in India.
The company has also built a proprietary healthcare operating system that maintains longitudinal health records for pets, enabling veterinarians to access comprehensive treatment histories and deliver more consistent care.
How Is Vetic Using Artificial Intelligence?
Technology has emerged as a key differentiator for Vetic.
The company has integrated AI-powered tools across various aspects of its healthcare platform, including pet-parent triaging, veterinary diagnostic support, and personalized healthcare recommendations.
These tools are designed to improve treatment outcomes, reduce response times, and assist veterinarians in making more informed clinical decisions.
As healthcare technology adoption accelerates globally, Vetic believes AI will play a central role in improving accessibility and efficiency within veterinary services.
How Fast Is The Company Growing?
Vetic’s financial performance reflects the increasing demand for organized pet healthcare services in India.
According to the company’s financial statements, operating revenue grew 2.5 times to ₹62.9 crore in FY25 from ₹25.5 crore in FY24.
The growth was driven by clinic expansion, rising subscriptions, and increased demand for veterinary services.
However, rapid expansion has also resulted in higher operating costs.
The company’s losses increased by 63% to ₹65.6 crore in FY25, compared to ₹40.2 crore in the previous fiscal year, as it continued investing aggressively in infrastructure, talent acquisition, and technology development.
Why Are Investors Bullish On India’s Pet Care Industry?
India’s pet care market has emerged as one of the country’s fastest-growing consumer categories.
Increasing pet adoption, rising disposable incomes, urbanization, and greater focus on pet wellness are driving demand for healthcare, nutrition, insurance, grooming, and premium pet products.
As a result, investors are actively backing startups building specialized solutions in the sector.
Companies such as Heads Up For Tails, Supertails, Wiggles, and Dogsee Chew have also attracted investor capital as competition intensifies.
What Lies Ahead For Vetic?
With fresh funding, expanding infrastructure, and growing consumer adoption, Vetic is positioning itself as a comprehensive healthcare platform for pets.
The company plans to deepen its presence across India through clinic expansion, home healthcare services, AI-powered solutions, and insurance offerings.
As pet ownership continues to rise and spending on pet wellness grows, Vetic believes organized healthcare will become one of the most important segments within India’s evolving pet care industry.
The latest investment gives the startup additional firepower to pursue that vision and strengthen its leadership position in one of the country’s fastest-growing consumer markets.
