When entrepreneur Laxmikanth Pudu launched Petfolk in April 2022, he envisioned a company that would revolutionize pet care services. In less than a year, Petfolk has already transformed the landscape for pet businesses in India and beyond.
“We wanted to create a comprehensive platform that simplified everything related to pets in one place,” said Laxmikanth. This led to the creation of the first social media network exclusively for pets, enabling pet parents to connect and bond over their furry friends.
However, Laxmikanth set his sights far beyond just an online community. “Our goal was to redefine quality and convenience across all pet services,” he said.
Petfolk’s mobile pet grooming vans have set a new standard, bringing professional-level grooming directly to pet parents’ homes. Their recent expansion into on-demand bicycle pet grooming brings even greater accessibility. “With our innovative grooming-on-bikes program, we’re delivering skilled groomers across India in a way never seen before,” noted Laxmikanth.

Recognizing the rising demand for qualified groomers, Petfolk established an advanced grooming institute to train the next generation. Their free 2 lakh rupee curriculum opens doors for aspiring groomers from northeast India who may lack the resources for such education. As Laxmikanth explained, “We’re empowering talented individuals with in-depth grooming skills while expanding opportunities in underserved regions.”
On February 18th, 2024 Petfolk unveils its network of high-tech Pet Grooming Centers across India, setting benchmarks for excellence. With 400 locations planned, Petfolk cements its leadership in pet grooming nationwide.
Petfolk also plans to launch specialized pet supplements for overlooked markets. “Pets in tier 2 and 3 cities deserve the same quality care,” said Laxmikanth.
