Supertails, a full-stack pet care startup, secured Rs 125 crore (approx. $15 million) in a Series B funding round led by RPSG Capital Ventures, with participation from existing investors Fireside Ventures, Saama Capital, DSG Consumer Partners, and Sauce VC. The funds will fuel business growth, customer acquisition, and technology investments, including the expansion of healthcare services like Supertails Pharmacy. 

The company also plans to explore offline strategies and enhance the omnichannel experience for consumers.

Competitors include Heads Up For Tails, Goofy Tails, and JustDogs.
