At YNOS Venture Engine, we've witnessed firsthand the remarkable evolution of the pet industry in India. From humble beginnings with basic pet care, we've seen a transformative wave of #innovation led by ambitious pet tech startups. Numerous groundbreaking solutions emerged from smart collars that monitor pet health in real-time to apps that customize care routines for our furry friends. While large corporations have traditionally dominated #petcare, these agile startups are redefining what it means to be a pet owner in the modern era. In the sixth instalment of our #Betterworldseries, we celebrate these pioneering pet tech startups. Their vision to integrate technology with care has not only transformed how we look after our pets but also enriched the bond we share with them. Cheers to these bold innovators who are crafting a brighter future for our pets and reshaping our community with every breakthrough!

During my PhD, I had the opportunity to read extensive research on the role of #incubators in #startup success. We also began gathering data on #Indian incubators to study their impact. While the research was illuminating, I couldn't fully grasp the role of incubators until YNOS Venture Engine was accepted into the #IITMIC. The pivotal support they provide became immediately apparent. Though the IITM Incubation Cell is known as one of the most successful in the country, their commitment to helping startups never wavers. Today, we were featured in their newsletter – just one example of the ongoing support we've received both during our time there and after graduation. Once again thank you, Team #IITMIC for all the support.
