How Far We've Come

Oct 2023

Where It Started

A tragic, nationally-reported incident made the need for organised, scientific stray dog management impossible to ignore. Mr Manohar Bidaye stepped out of his corporate career to study the ABC Rules and spend months with vets, caregivers and municipal officers.

2024–2025

Founded, Then Proven

IndieCare AI Solutions Private Limited was founded in June 2024, built on one idea: give every Indie dog a verifiable identity, the way Aadhaar already does for every Indian citizen. In December 2024, Panvel Municipal Corporation ran India’s first scientific, AI-assisted stray dog enumeration, making Panvel the first Indian city with a photo-verified register of every stray dog, ward by ward.

2026

25,000+ Dogs, and Counting

As on date, through IndieCare AI’s platform, more than 25,000 dogs (across BMC, Panvel Municipal Corporation, corporates and educational institutions) have been digitally mapped and enrolled into the ecosystem. The IndieCare AI Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is incubated by SMILE Council of BMC and SINE at IIT Bombay, with technology validated by IIT Guwahati.

FOUNDING TEAM

The people behind the platform.

The people bringing operations, compliance and marketing experience together to build a transparent, scientific system that keeps every stray dog counted and cared for.
