Sanjay Stephen
Founder & CEO
Bangalore-based product builder and lifelong dog person. Sanjay founded SnoutSync after a year of navigating India's fragmented pet care ecosystem as a first-time pet parent — and deciding to build the trust layer it was missing.
Sanjay's path to SnoutSync runs through years of building consumer products in Bangalore — and through every WhatsApp group, unverified listing and 11pm vet search that Indian pet parents know too well. The turning point was a routine health scare that meant calling six clinics from an online directory: two had shut down, one had no vet on duty. The problem wasn't a shortage of good professionals. It was that nothing connected pet parents to them with any guarantee of trust.
He spent the following months talking to vets, groomers, trainers and breeders across Bangalore and found the same frustration on the other side of the counter — genuinely excellent professionals losing discovery to whoever spent the most on ads or shouted loudest in a Facebook group. Verification, he realised, would fix both sides of the market at once.
Sanjay leads product, design and the verification standard at SnoutSync. He holds every screen to a simple test: would this be good enough for my own dogs?
