About CollarFolk
Rukmini Vaish kept running into the same wall every time she wanted to travel: almost nowhere would take the dog. CollarFolk, which she started in Delhi in 2016, is built for exactly that traveller, curating pet-friendly stays and helping owners plan trips they can bring their animals along on. It is a small, focused business in a niche most travel platforms ignore, and it grew out of Vaish's own frustration rather than a spreadsheet of market sizes.
