Pet food brand LUVIN has raised Rs 2.4 crore or $300K in an angel round from M.V. Nair, a Gujarat-based family office of Possible Ventures and others.
According to LUVIN, the funds will be used to expand its portfolio, strengthen marketing efforts, and step up its presence pan-India.
Founded by Ipshit Bhattacharya and Meghna Bhattacharya, Fabulicious, the parent company of LUVIN, has launched 12 products in the D2C pet food space. The brand went live with its first product under ‘LUVIN’ in July last year. Out of 12, three products are manufactured in Europe while the rest are formulated and manufactured in-house.
LUVIN directly competes with the likes of Heads Up for Tails, Pawfect.xyz, Supertails, Wiggles, Goofy Tails, and Just Dogs among others.
