Gaining Momentum

ThePetNest is a verified, bootstrapped pet care marketplace in India generating ~$500k annual revenue with ~60k users. Despite the low-quality submission (incorrect name 'DeepKeeper', hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product'), external evidence confirms a functional business with significant regional traction in 30+ cities. The project demonstrates real-world utility and market timing, though it faces service quality challenges common in O2O aggregators.
