In response to the surging demand for high-quality pet food in India, Heads Up For Tails (HUFT), a renowned name in the pet care industry, has introduced “Hearty,” a cutting-edge dry pet food product.
This new launch is poised to make a significant impact on the $800 million Indian pet nutrition market, as HUFT strives to revolutionize pet nutrition and establish itself as a leader in this rapidly expanding sector.
Market Growth and Strategic Timing for Hearty’s Introduction
The Indian pet food market is expected to grow to between $1.8 billion and $2 billion by 2030, driven by a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.5 percent.
The introduction of Hearty aligns perfectly with this market expansion and reflects a growing awareness among Indian pet parents about the importance of pet health and nutrition.
Hearty is expected to meet this increasing demand, particularly in metropolitan Tier I and Tier II cities where pet ownership is on the rise.

Premium Quality with Competitive Pricing: HUFT’s Market Strategy
HUFT has strategically positioned Hearty as a premium product while maintaining competitive pricing to maximize its market reach. The brand’s recent growth has been remarkable, expanding nearly 2.5 times faster than the market in the last fiscal year.
With Hearty, HUFT aims to capture a 10 percent share of the Indian pet food market by FY25, with a goal of becoming a Rs. 500 crore brand within the first three years of the product’s launch.
Unique Ingredients Set Hearty Apart
Hearty is distinguished by its incorporation of Indian super herbs such as Ashwagandha, Tulsi, Moringa, Giloy, and Turmeric, which are known for their numerous health benefits.
Combined with a high content of real meat (60 percent) and fresh ingredients (up to 40 percent), this formula sets Hearty apart from other products in the market, many of which rely on by-products and contain less than 10 percent fresh content.
Leadership Perspectives on Hearty’s Market Impact
Samarth Narang, CEO of HUFT, highlighted the significance of this launch, stating, “The Indian pet food market is growing rapidly, and Hearty is our response to the lack of innovation in the dry food sector.
Our new manufacturing processes allow us to deliver a superior product without compromising on quality, and since Hearty is produced in India, we ensure the freshest batch reaches our customers.”
Rashi Narang, Founder of HUFT, added, “Hearty is more than just another pet food; it’s our commitment to providing the nutrition pets deserve.
Our careful ingredient selection and packaging reflect our dedication to excellence. This launch marks a pivotal moment in HUFT’s journey as we continue to grow and set new industry standards.”
Rapid Growth and Future Prospects for Hearty
Since its launch in June, Hearty has recorded over 50 percent month-on-month growth. With pet food contributing to 43 percent of HUFT’s overall business (and 60 percent including treats), the brand is well on its way to achieving significant market share growth, reinforcing its leadership in the pet care industry.
Through Hearty, HUFT is not only responding to the evolving needs of Indian pet owners but also raising the bar for the entire industry, setting new standards in pet nutrition.
