At-home pet-care startup BhaoBhao has secured USD 200,000 from a group of angel investors to fuel expansion beyond its home base of Mumbai.
What the company does?
Founded by Aditi Sanganeria and Anshika Maheshwari, BhaoBhao offers in-home grooming for dogs and cats, deploying trained, certified professionals who use sanitized equipment to keep the process hygienic for pets and hassle-free for owners. The startup has also built capacity in a typically underserved niche with dedicated cat groomers.
“With this initial round of funding, our priority is to scale operations, invest in technology, and uphold the highest standards of service. Our vision is to make every grooming session stress-free for pets and truly convenient for their parents. This is just the beginning, and we’re committed to redefining grooming as an experience filled with love, comfort, and care.” – Aditi Sanganeria, Co-founder, BhaoBhao
“We started BhaoBhao to make grooming less stressful for pets, easier for parents, and more rewarding for groomers. This funding round is just the first step in a long journey to reimagine pet care in India. We’re deeply grateful to our investors, grooming partners, and every pet parent who has trusted us, the best stories are yet to be written.” – Anshika Maheshwari, Co-founder, BhaoBhao
Traction and pricing
BhaoBhao says it has served over 3,000 clients in Mumbai and reports a 95% repeat rate. Grooming visits are priced between ₹1,500 and ₹2,000 per session.
Market context
India’s pet-care market is pegged at USD 3.5 billion, with expectations of sustained growth as urban pet ownership and spending rise.
What’s next
Beyond the fresh infusion, BhaoBhao is in talks to raise USD 4–5 million by year-end to accelerate expansion and operations.
