About Wiggles

Anushka Iyer started Wiggles in Pune in 2018, in her early twenties, and built it into a full-stack pet healthcare brand rather than just another treats company. Wiggles runs at-home and clinic vet consultations, sells its own line of pet food, supplements and grooming products, and famously launched an early pet sanitiser during the pandemic. The company has raised institutional funding, including a pre-Series A round led by Anthill Ventures, to expand its clinics and its direct-to-consumer catalogue for India's fast-growing base of pet parents.
