In July 2025, Manvi Gupta, co-founder of Nuts over Mutts (NOM), a fast-growing premium dog nutrition start-up in India, faced a pivotal growth decision. Despite strong sales momentum and high subscription retention, scaling toward NOM’s ?2 billion 2028 revenue goal required fresh capital. An angel investor pushed NOM to enter the rapidly growing Indian cat food segment, driven by a surge in pet ownership and a 16 per cent annual increase in cat adoption. While the head of operations saw capability synergies, the head of customer service feared dilution of NOM’s dog-centric brand built on “Serious dog love.” Gupta now had to weigh brand focus, operational capacity, and investor expectations in considering whether to enter the cat food market, deepen the dog portfolio, or pursue a hybrid path.
