Benny’s Bowl, a pet food company, announced it has acquired $ 300K in a pre-seed round led by Ashish Hemrajani (CEO of BookMyShow). Other marquee investors – Haresh Chawla, Japan Angel Fund, BT’s Inc Japan, Rajesh Sawhney, and other HNIs also participated in the current funding round.
Benny’s Bowl prepares fresh food using 100% real ingredients without any preservatives and artificial additives. To ensure dogs eat fresh and healthy food, the company uses retort technology for food packaging, the same technology used to pack food for astronauts. The technology locks the freshness for up to 2 years without the use of any preservatives or refrigeration.
With the acquired funds, Benny’s Bowl plans to bring innovation in the product line and build awareness about how fresh food can improve the pet’s lifespan and quality of life.
Commenting on the company’s ideology, Akshay Gupta the co-founder of Benny’s Bowl said, “We believe that our pets also deserve to eat fresh and healthy food just like we humans do, with Benny’s Bowl we aim to simplify feeding fresh food to our pets and improve the quality of life and lifespan of our pets.”
Delighted with the investment participation, Rajesh Sawhney said, “Indian pet food market is growing at a fast pace. Since people have become more conscious about their pet’s health and are open to exploring a variety of healthy food, Benny’s Bowl is projected to hold a massive share in the market. We look forward to Benny’s Bowl witnessing exponential growth in the coming years.”
Founded in August 2021 by Akshay Gupta who is also the founder of India’s largest pet festival Pet Fed (limca book of record-holder) and also an investor in Flying Fur – India’s largest chain of pet-grooming vans (recently featured on Shark Tank), Benny’s Bowl pet food is complete and balanced, formulated by experienced nutritionists.
