We built India's first operating system for pet care
CuroPaw started with a simple observation: India's pet industry is growing faster than the tools available to run it. We're here to change that.

From frustration to a product used by 500+ businesses
India's pet care industry is booming. More families are adopting pets, spending more on premium services, and expecting professional experiences. But the businesses serving them โ boarding facilities, grooming salons, daycare centres โ are still running on WhatsApp groups, paper registers, and spreadsheets.
We talked to dozens of pet business owners across Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and smaller cities. The story was always the same: double-booked kennels, lost invoices, anxious pet parents calling every hour, and staff who couldn't coordinate without the owner being present.
These are smart, passionate people โ they just didn't have the right tools. So we built CuroPaw: the all-in-one operating system designed from the ground up for how Indian pet businesses actually work.
The spark
Visited 30+ pet businesses across 5 cities. Saw the same chaos everywhere โ WhatsApp groups, paper registers, lost invoices.
Building
Quit our jobs. Built the first prototype in a Koramangala co-working space. Onboarded 10 beta customers in Bangalore.
Product-market fit
Expanded to Mumbai and Delhi. Hit 100 paying customers. Added grooming queue and WhatsApp automation โ the two most-requested features.
Scaling
500+ businesses across 50+ cities. Processing โน2Cr+ in monthly revenue. Building the future of pet care operations in India.
"Our mission is to organise every pet care business in India โ so owners can focus on what they do best: caring for animals."

What we believe
These aren't just words on a wall. They shape every product decision, every hire, and every customer interaction.
Customer obsessed
Every feature starts with a real problem we heard from a real pet business owner.
Ship fast, learn faster
We release every week. If something doesn't work, we fix it before you notice.
Transparency
Simple pricing, honest communication, no hidden fees. What you see is what you get.
Pet-first thinking
At the end of every decision, we ask: does this help more pets get better care?
