India's trusted pet marketplace, connecting pet lovers with responsible breeders and adoption centers across the country.
From a simple idea to India's leading pet marketplace
Petrosia began in 2020 when siblings Aryan and Anika Sharma, passionate pet lovers since childhood, recognized a critical gap in India's pet marketplace. With their family Golden Retriever, Max, as their inspiration, they envisioned a platform that would prioritize pet welfare while connecting responsible breeders with loving homes.
Starting from a small apartment in Mumbai with just a laptop and a dream, the siblings built the first version of Petrosia, focusing initially on dog adoptions in their local community. Their commitment to ethical practices and genuine care for animals quickly set them apart in the industry.
What began as a small startup has transformed into a nationwide empire connecting thousands of pet lovers with their perfect companions every month. After securing their first round of funding in 2021, Petrosia expanded its operations beyond Mumbai to Delhi and Bangalore, bringing their ethical marketplace model to new regions.
By 2022, the company had developed a proprietary verification system for breeders, setting new standards for the industry. Their mobile app launch the same year accelerated growth, allowing them to expand into 10 major cities across India.
Today, Petrosia operates in over 30 cities nationwide, with a growing team of 150+ employees who share the founders' passion for pets. The platform now facilitates over 5,000 successful pet adoptions monthly and has expanded to include a comprehensive directory of pet services, from veterinary care to grooming and training.
Despite their tremendous growth, Aryan and Anika remain hands-on in the business, ensuring that Petrosia's core mission of ethical pet commerce remains at the heart of everything they do.
