The newly raised funds will be used to enhance the product and technology, scale up to new cities, as well as to hire talent for tech, design, sales and operations. Founded in November 2015 by Ramesh and Kanishk Lihala, TailsLife provides content and services for pet care needs. The app is available on both Android and iOS platforms.
V Balakrishnan of Exfinity Ventures, said, “With rising disposable income and pet ownership, India is one of the fastest growing pet markets in the world.
