Petpooja, an Indian restaurant tech platform, has raised INR 137 crore ($15.5 million) in its Series C funding round, led by Dharana Capital.
The round also saw participation from Ashish Gupta (co-founder of Helion Ventures) and Abhiraj Singh Bhal & Varun Khaitan (co-founders of Urban Company).
The startup will use the funding to add more products, advance AI-powered automation, and improve customer support.
Vamsi Duvvuri, Founder and Managing Partner, Dharana Capital, said, “As India’s food service ecosystem undergoes rapid digitization, Petpooja has emerged as the core technology backbone for restaurants. Their resilience and customer-first approach has set them apart, and we look forward to supporting them in this next chapter of growth.”
Parthiv Patel, Co-Founder and CEO of Petpooja, said, “Our partnership with Dharana marks an exciting new chapter for us. This round will help us accelerate product innovation and continue building solutions that help restaurants simplify their operations.”
Petpooja was founded in 2011 by Parthiv and Apurv Patel and is based in Ahmedabad.
The company later pivoted into a SaaS platform, offering cloud-based billing and management software for small and medium food businesses.
Petpooja now serves over 1,00,000 clients in India, the UAE, and South Africa, and manages about 25% of Zomato and Swiggy’s online orders.
So far, the company has raised around ₹185 crore, including a $4.5 million Series B round led by Aroa Ventures in 2021.
