Benny’s Bowl, a functional pet nutrition brand, has raised US$ 1.4 million in a Pre-Series A round led by Atomic Capital. The funding will be used to advance R&D, product innovation and geographical expansion, alongside strengthening both online and offline distribution across Indian metro cities.
Founded by Akshay Gupta, Benny’s Bowl aims to address nutritional gaps in India’s petfood market through innovation-led formulations, transparent ingredients and consumer education. Over the past 12 months, the brand has achieved twofold revenue growth with 85 percent retention from repeat customers, highlighting strong product acceptance and brand loyalty.
Gupta said, “Big moment for us at Benny’s Bowl. We’ve raised $1.4M in Pre-Series A funding to keep building what we care about most: science-backed, honest nutrition for pets. This round gives us fuel to double down on R&D, expand our product portfolio (yes, for cats too), strengthen distribution, and continue educating pet parents about what truly goes into their pet’s bowl.”
The brand’s existing portfolio supports gut health, allergies, renal health, skin and coat condition and weight management. Their upcoming launches are set to include protein supplements for pets and fresh cat food.
