Marketing relies on content (PawsIndia blog), social (Facebook, YouTube), and email newsletter, with veterinarian-backed content via a partnership with SuperPets Multi-speciality Clinic. The company has no disclosed physical office, no app, no API, no patents, no certifications, and no enterprise customers; all revenue is generated from individual consumer transactions.
