Our Story & Mission

Founded in 2015 in the vibrant tech hub of Pune, India, Pet Raising Game Studio was born from a simple idea: to create digital experiences that nurture compassion and provide wholesome entertainment.

Our journey began with a small team of passionate gamers and animal lovers. We noticed a gap in the market for high-quality, emotionally resonant pet simulation games that went beyond simple tap mechanics. We wanted to build worlds where players could form genuine bonds with their virtual companions, learning about care, growth, and attachment.

Today, we are a recognized leader in the genre, with titles consistently ranking in the top charts of family games on major app stores. Our mission extends beyond entertainment; we partner with educational organizations to promote animal welfare awareness and use our platform to support real-world animal charities.

Our development philosophy is centered on "Positive Impact Gaming." Every feature, character, and storyline is designed with player well-being in mind. We avoid predatory monetization, focusing instead on value-driven purchases and a rewarding free-to-play experience. Our games are safe havens for players of all ages, particularly children and young adults, offering a constructive and joyful digital pastime.
