Smylo Pet Food is an India-based pet nutrition company that makes natural, fresh, and preservative-free food specially designed for cats. Started by pet lovers who wanted healthier options than regular packaged pet food, Smylo focuses on using real, high-quality ingredients. Its recipes include animal proteins like chicken, tuna and salmon along with fruits and natural plant ingredients that provide important vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Smylo mainly offers wet food pouches and broths for both kittens and adult cats, which help improve hydration, digestion, immunity, and overall health. All Smylo products are made without fillers, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, making them a clean and nutritious choice for cat parents.
Smylo is a research-driven cat food brand founded in late 2024 by Abhishek Agrawal (IIT Delhi) and Kartikeya Gupta (BITS Pilani). The idea was inspired by the founders personal experience of losing their pet, which motivated them to create healthier and more thoughtful food options for cats. Aimed at India’s growing community of cat parents, Smylo offers fresh, meat-based recipes and follows a subscription-based model for regular delivery. As a young and focused challenger, Smylo is seeking ₹68 lakh in exchange for 1% equity, positioning itself as a premium, specialized brand.
Abhishek Agrawal and Kartikeya Gupta, founder of Smylo was seeking an offer of ₹75 lakh for 1% equity and 2% advisory.
