A Stress-Free Experience for Pets and Their Parents
Pet owners know the drill all too well-convincing a reluctant furry friend to journey to a salon, dealing with the anxiety it causes, and cleaning up the mess afterward. Enter BhaoBhao, a Mumbai-based startup that flips this inconvenient scenario on its head. Offering premium in‑home grooming services for beloved dogs and cats, BhaoBhao brings certified groomers and sanitized equipment directly to your door-no travel, no hustle, no stress.
Founders with Personal Insight and Purpose
Founded in July 2025 by Aditi Sanganeria and Anshika Maheshwari, both former brand directors at Pampers and management school graduates, the idea stemmed from their own frustrations with unprofessional groomers and the hassle of transporting pets. Their shared vision was simple but powerful: make grooming comfortable for pets, convenient for owners, and stress-free for everyone involved.
Aditi emphasizes,
“Our vision is to make every grooming session stress-free for pets and truly convenient for their parents.”
Anshika adds,
“We started BhaoBhao to make grooming less stressful for pets, easier for parents, and more rewarding for groomers.”
The BhaoBhao Difference
BhaoBhao distinguishes itself with:
- Dedicated teams for both cats and dogs, addressing a notable gap in the market.
- A rigorous training process, where groomers foster trust with pets, ensure comfort throughout, and leave homes spotless.
- A loyal customer base-over 3,000 Mumbai clients served, and a striking 95% repeat rate, proof that the model resonates deeply.
- Price range of ₹1,500-₹2,000 per visit, which many pet parents consider well worth the comfort and peace of mind.
A Strong Future Backed by Funding
Recently, BhaoBhao raised $200,000 in a seed round from angel investors to fuel expansion across Mumbai and beyond. Talks are already underway for a $4-5 million round by year-end to scale up operations further.
Why Now? A Pet-Care Boom in India
India’s pet care market, valued at $3.5 billion, is growing rapidly. Urban pet parents are increasingly prioritizing their pets’ well-being, fueling demand for reliable, premium services. BhaoBhao is perfectly positioned to ride this trend.
Looking Forward: Grooming with Heart and Heart
BhaoBhao is far more than a pet grooming service-it’s a loving, authentic experience. By removing stress and centering on care, convenience, and comfort, the brand is transforming grooming into a moment of joy. With a passionate founding team, powerful early results, and funding to match, BhaoBhao is poised to become the go-to pet care partner for families across India.
