Strategic Roadmap: The “Full-Stack” Pivot

Supertails is moving beyond being just an e-commerce site for pet food. The fresh capital is earmarked for building an end-to-end “pet parenting” ecosystem:

1. Rapid Offline Expansion (Clinics)

The company currently operates four 24-hour veterinary clinics in Bengaluru. It plans to scale this to 15 clinics in the next six months and targets a nationwide network of 100+ clinics within five years.

2. Quick-Commerce & Dark Stores

As pet care becomes a breakout category in quick commerce, Supertails is doubling down on speed.

  • 30-Minute Delivery: Already live in Bengaluru and Mumbai.
  • Dark Store Network: Scaling from current levels to 60 dark stores across Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru by the end of March 2026.

3. Personalized Healthcare

With a network of over 100 veterinarians, the startup is enhancing its digital platform to offer life-stage-specific guidance, utilizing AI and data to provide personalized nutrition and health plans for each pet.


The Market Opportunity: Ownership to “Parenting”

The investment highlights a major demographic shift in India. The “Double Income No Kids” (DINK) and nuclear family segments are increasingly treating pets as integral family members, driving monthly expenses for high-quality food and medical care to between โ‚น5,000 and โ‚น15,000 per pet.

The Competitive Landscape

Supertails is positioning itself as a trust-based alternative to giants like Reliance and Nestlรฉ by linking its medical services (vets and clinics) directly to its commerce engine. This “full-stack” approach mirrors the success of global leaders like Chewy, focusing on high customer retention rather than just one-off transactions.


Financial Performance (FY25)

  • Revenue: Increased to โ‚น108.26 crore (up from โ‚น64.63 crore in FY24).
  • Net Loss: Stood at โ‚น52.47 crore, reflecting heavy investment in customer acquisition and the new physical clinic infrastructure.
