Vetic raises in $40 Million in funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners to build human-grade pet healthcare
New Delhi : Vetic, India’s largest and fastest-growing pet healthcare network, today announced the close of a $40 million funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP), with participation from existing investors Greenoaks Capital, Lachy Groom, and JSW Family Office. Bessemer has been an investor in multiple earlier rounds as well.
Vetic integrates 65+ clinics across 11cities, 15 round-the-clock emergency facilities, vet at home services, e-pharmacy and pet supplies through a single connected platform.
There has been a fundamental shift in how India spends and in how it treats pets. They are part of the family. Yet when it comes to the wellbeing of a pet, whether it is when they fall ill, need diagnostic care or predictable medication supply, or have grooming needs, pet parents are forced to navigate a fragmented and unorganised system on their own, keeping them anxious and worried throughout. Vetic was founded to fix this.
Founded in 2022 by Gaurav Ajmera, Vetic was started after his own experience with his cat Simba, who needed 25–30 visits across five or six different vets just to get the correct diagnosis.
Vetic has built India’s most comprehensive pet healthcare ecosystem from the ground up. The company is backed by a network of over 250 veterinarians delivering care across in-clinic OPD, advanced diagnostics, and complex surgeries. To meet every pet health need under one roof, Vetic has expanded into vet at home services, pet insurance and wellness plans, an e-pharmacy delivering 300+ medicines across 700+ pincodes in 60 minutes, and quick commerce for 600+ pet products. Vetic currently has over 60,000 subscribed members.
This is built on Vetic’s proprietary operating system, capturing longitudinal health records for every pet from the very first visit and standardising care protocols across the entire network. Vetic has further leveraged AI across touchpoints which allows for more efficient triaging of pet parents from the first sign of a symptom, supporting veterinarians with diagnostic intelligence, and delivering proactive, personalised guidance through the Vetic app across a pet’s entire life journey. Together, this moves pet healthcare from reactive crisis management to continuous, always-on care.
The new funds will be used to scale Vetic’s clinic network and its veterinary team (in-clinic, home, and virtual care) to double the current capacity. They will also roll out Vet at Home services nationally within two quarters; deepening its pet insurance and wellness plan offerings; and investing significantly in technology and AI to make every layer of the pet health journey smarter, more connected, and more proactive.
“I started Vetic because of my pet Simba, who didn’t receive quality care when he needed it most. Like mine, there are millions of families for whom pets are not ‘just animals’. They are companionship during lonely years, emotional support through difficult times, comfort, joy, and family. Pet parents demand human-grade care, yet the systems built around pet care remain fragmented and mediocre. 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. Because our pets deserve human-grade care.” said Gaurav Ajmera, Founder & CEO, Vetic
“Every great consumer category in India needs one operator willing to do the unglamorous work of building high quality supply which scales with consistency. For pet care, that’s Vetic. 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. We’re continuing to double down on the journey with them because category leaders compound, and Vetic is the category leader in this space. We’re excited to see what comes next.” said Vishal Gupta, Partner, Bessemer Venture Partners
