The Problem

Fragmented Content

Pet content is scattered across multiple platforms with no centralized professional source for industry news and lifestyle content.

Lack of Professional Coverage

Most pet content is amateur-level social media posts. No professional journalism or industry-focused reporting exists.

Limited B2B Solutions

Pet businesses struggle to find targeted advertising platforms and industry-specific marketing channels.

Growing Market Underserved

Despite the pet industry growing at 19% CAGR, there's no dedicated OTT platform serving this massive audience.

Market Gap Analysis

The ₹8,400 Cr Indian pet industry lacks a professional media platform that combines news, lifestyle content, and B2B services - creating a significant opportunity for first-mover advantage.
