Zigly Pet Care acquires Mumbai's Prolife Speciality Vet Clinic — its third clinic buy

India's pet-care consolidation continues. Announced September 29, 2026, Zigly Pet Care — the pet-care arm of Cosmo First and self-described "India's first omnichannel pet care brand" — has acquired Prolife Speciality Vet Clinic LLP in Malad, Mumbai, in a slump-sale transaction. The clinic, managed by Dr. S. M. Gadge and operational since 2000, reports ~20,000 pets treated and Rs 4.36 Cr in annual recurring revenue, with FY26 turnover of Rs 1.95 Cr against Rs 83 lakh in FY24/FY25 — roughly 135% YoY growth.

This is Zigly's third strategic vet-clinic acquisition, following the Small Animal Clinic & Surgical Centre in Khar West and Dr. Santa's Pet Clinic. The playbook: acquire neighbourhood trust, keep the existing staff, and convert the site into a 24x7 facility within 9-12 months. CEO Saurabh Jain's company is targeting Rs 100 Cr in revenue across 60 centres, and posted 70% YoY revenue growth in Q1 FY27.

The strategy detail is what retail founders should study. Zigly isn't just adding clinics — it's layering diagnostics, inpatient care, quick commerce and private labels (Applaud, Furpro, Catmos now contribute 20% of revenue) onto the vet-clinic base. The clinic is the acquisition channel; the private label is the margin. That's the omnichannel thesis in one transaction.

Pet care is one of India's quietest consolidations — fragmented clinics, rising disposable income, premiumisation of pet ownership — and Zigly is executing the rollup playbook in public. Expect more of these small slump-sale announcements before the bigger rollup money arrives.
