Petcare startup Vetic has secured $40 million in a funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP), with participation from existing investors Greenoaks Capital, Lachy Groom, and JSW Family Office. Bessemer Venture Partners also participated in several of the company’s previous funding rounds, further reinforcing investor confidence in Vetic’s growth strategy and long-term vision.
Vetic plans to use the newly raised capital to expand its clinic network and strengthen its veterinary workforce, enabling the company to double its current operating capacity. In addition, the startup intends to accelerate the nationwide rollout of its Vet at Home services within the next two quarters.
The company will also deepen its pet insurance and wellness plan offerings while investing heavily in technology and artificial intelligence to enhance the overall pet healthcare experience. Through these initiatives, Vetic aims to improve operational efficiency and deliver more accessible, connected, and personalised care for pet owners across India.
Founded in 2022 by Gaurav Ajmera, Vetic emerged from a deeply personal experience involving his cat Simba. Ajmera faced significant challenges in obtaining an accurate diagnosis for his pet, requiring 25 to 30 visits across multiple veterinarians. Consequently, he launched Vetic to address inefficiencies and fragmentation within the pet healthcare ecosystem.
Explaining the company’s mission, Ajmera said, “Vetic is building a connected system where consultations, clinics, medicines, diagnostics, insurance, recovery, and wellness all work together not just to improve efficiency but to help people care better for the pets they love.”
Today, Vetic operates a connected pet healthcare platform that integrates more than 65 clinics across 11 cities. The company also manages 15 round-the-clock emergency facilities while offering vet-at-home services, an e-pharmacy platform, and pet supplies through a unified ecosystem.
Furthermore, Vetic has built a network of over 250 veterinarians who provide professional pet healthcare services through its clinics. To strengthen customer engagement and accessibility, the company has expanded into home-based veterinary care, pet insurance solutions, and wellness programmes. Additionally, its e-pharmacy service now reaches more than 700 pincodes, while its quick commerce platform offers access to over 600 pet products.
The company currently serves more than 60,000 subscribed members, highlighting the growing demand for organised pet healthcare services in India. As pet ownership continues to rise across urban and semi-urban markets, integrated petcare platforms are attracting increasing attention from both consumers and investors.
The latest funding round underscores strong investor belief in Vetic’s business model and its position within India’s rapidly expanding pet healthcare and pet wellness market. By combining veterinary services, diagnostics, medicines, insurance, wellness solutions, and technology under one platform, Vetic aims to establish itself as a leading player in the country’s evolving petcare ecosystem.
