Why We Doubled Down On Our Partnership With Supertails: Building India’s One-Stop Destination for all Pet Care Needs

Why We Doubled Down On Our Partnership With Supertails: Building India’s One-Stop Destination for all Pet Care Needs

At DSGCP, we have been tracking the evolution of the pet category since we started in 2012. That is a full decade. Pets are an important component in our theme ‘the evolving family unit'. We expect this category to be huge in the future given the rapid adoption of pets among Millennials and GenZ. Our conviction in the category helped us invest in Supertails in early 2021 when the founders were still working on the idea. We love partnering with founders at an ideation stage on Day -1. It was a decision completely based on the founders’ ability to execute and build a category-defining brand in a segment that is expected to grow massively. Supertails has come a long way. The team has made great progress in building India’s best digital-first destination for all Pet Care needs.

Why We Doubled Down On Our Partnership With Nuguru: Backing a Global Initiative in Revolutionizing Healthy Eating

At DSG Consumer Partners, we have been tracking the evolution of health and wellness since we started in 2012. Our conviction in the category led us to invest in Nuguru in early 2020 when Vikram Rupani (co-founder of Redmart, a DSGCP portfolio company acquired by Lazada) started working on the idea for a new chapter in his entrepreneurial journey. We love to partner with visionary founders even at the inception stage on Day 1. Over the past three years, the DSGCP team has been privileged to accompany Nuguru on its journey of incorporation, transformation, and international growth. We are pleased to support and collaborate with Vikram and a fully built ace team to pivot the business model from its initial foray with the “Clean-in-15” program to today's harmonized approach to wellness.
