Founded in 2016 by Amol Sharma, PetSutra is one resource for all the pet parents that provide end-to-end solutions, from suggesting the pet’s breed to their journey with them. This platform stands like a pillar to help the pet parents with taking care of their pets.

"PetSutra is an initiative to educate and help people in making the journey of their pets worthwhile. Given the magnitude at which the pet industry is growing, our efforts will show great results sooner than later,” said Amol Sharma, founder, PetSutra, to a business daily.
Michael Patrick Hickey, one of the angel investors in PetSutra, said, “Market opportunity aside, which is a prerequisite before consideration, I have a detailed view around what impacts the probability of success for any endeavor whether it is a commercial enterprise or not. There are three broad areas with a lot of detail within. The three broad areas are: Choice, Capability and Commitment. A high probability of success requires strength in each of these areas and I believe that PetSutra have what it takes. PetSutra’s aim to deliver a holistic ecosystem for pet parents leveraging mobile app and internet supply, combined with their professional experience and a disciplined approach to using data to drive decision making along with a strong work ethic, are very encouraging indicators for success.”
