So, Food & Nutrition had always been areas of interest. Over the years, my attachment towards my pets led me to learn more and more about their needs. Inflection point came when while advising a client on cattle feed, I started looking deeper in the pet food industry and realised it is at an interesting juncture. Demand is increasing, format of serving nutrition needs an overhaul, there is high dependence on imports and product-first disruption-oriented companies are far & few with clear white spaces in the customer value-proposition. Passion morphed into aspiration and a journey thus started. We are elated that our efforts have been thus far recognised well by Customers, channel partners & platforms. Few months back, Better India mentioned us amongst top-10 Natural & Healthy brands in the industry. We are fortunate to secure support from such eminent investors who believe in our vision equally and are willing to walk the miles with us. This will help catapult our efforts to reach our customers and serve them better."
