The Opportunity

Kerala's stray dog population (2.89 lakh dogs) requires widespread sterilisation but the state has only one portable ABC unit operational. The government plans to roll out 5 more units within three years, but demand far outpaces supply. There is a critical gap in accessible, mobile animal sterilisation services across Indian cities facing stray dog crises.

Market Size₹50-75 crore annually across India (based on 15+ million stray dogs × ₹2,100 sterilisation cost, plus ancillary care services).
Why NowVeterinary Council registration for technicians; AWBI (Animal Welfare Board of India) certification for surgical protocols and post-operative care; Municipal solid waste management rules for medical waste disposal; GST 5% on veterinary services; Municipal tender eligibility; Animal Cruelty Prevention Act compliance; State-level animal husbandry department approval.

Market Size

₹50-75 crore annually across India (based on 15+ million stray dogs × ₹2,100 sterilisation cost, plus ancillary care services). Kerala alone: ₹6 crore opportunity with 2.89 lakh stray dogs and government-backed funding through local bodies.

Business Model

Franchise portable ABC units to NGOs, municipalities, and veterinary clinics across Indian cities. Offer turnkey mobile sterilisation vans with trained technicians, post-operative care logistics, and compliance with AWBI norms. Revenue through per-dog service fees, government contracts, and municipal tenders.

₹2,100 per sterilised dog (₹50-100 dogs/month per unit = ₹1-2.1 lakh/month); Municipal contracts (₹5-10 lakh annually per city); Franchise fees (₹15-25 lakh per unit with 10% of revenue share)
