In the last two years the global pet adoption has spiked by 20%. However, most
pet parents are struggling to meet their companion pet’s needs which result in financial and
emotional losses. This is because there is a massive gap in research and treatments between human
and animal healthcare industries. While there are medicines available, most pet parents aren’t
even aware of the problems until it is too late. Kunal Khanna, the founder of Vivaldis was the face
behind the onset of the largest and the most unique companion pet care services in India. Kunal
and his team through a dedication of 7 years discovered 12 key therapy areas in animals that are a
pet parent’s biggest nightmare.
These therapy areas are gut health, cardiology, hepatic care, oncology and even cancer. He
paired with 60 pharma brands to treat these therapy areas with in-house developed products.
Today, Kunal has established more than 2500 veterinary clinics pan India in over 60 cities in a
matter of just 7 years. He bootstrapped his passion project to something more than just a hospital
for animals. Vivaldis has in-licensed with 6 major global brands including Bioiberica with whom
they launched a number of products for treatment of joints, hair, skin and various other
ailments, including hepatic health. They also secured specific nutraceuticals with Rx Vitamins in
the USA to treat various disorders related to kidney, liver and cardiac health.
Developing innovations that are effective across a broad landscape is a significant challenge and
Khanna has surmounted all hurdles to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the treatments they
offer. His focus through this journey has been to constantly develop new formulations and new
molecules. He already has a pipeline of products for the next five years that are already in place.
His recent foray into the B2C segment with ‘Bark Out Loud’, a range of unique treats, is an
extension of his vision to harness opportunities in the pet space. Directed by Devika Khanna, Bark
Out Loud co-branded with the Virat Kohli Foundation to produce vegan and hemp products for
companion pets.
