Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], July 29: <\/strong>\u00a0In a city that thrives on tech and transformation, one family took a different route \u2014 from writing code to caring for canines. <\/span>Meet Rahul Ranjan, Annie Grace, and Abhishek Prakash \u2014 three accomplished professionals in the IT space, who also happen to be a family. Together, they\u2019ve built one of Bangalore\u2019s most loved pet boarding and care centres: Pups N Cups.<\/p>\n

Nestled in the quiet lanes of Harlur, just minutes from HSR Layout and Sarjapur Road, Pups N Cups is a premium yet affordable pet resort that blends professional precision with the comfort of home. What started as a personal need soon evolved into a vision \u2014 to reimagine pet care in India with warmth, structure, and heart.<\/p>\n

The Problem That Sparked a Passion<\/h4>\n

Like many in their industry, the trio spent years traveling across time zones, handling global projects, and climbing the corporate ladder. But one thing always tugged at their hearts: leaving their dogs behind.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were those people who packed our dog\u2019s food before our own, and called home three times just to check if they\u2019d eaten,\u201d says Rahul, Founder of Pups N Cups and Director of GRIC (Global Risk & Compliance) at a global payments company. \u201cNo matter how structured our work lives were, saying goodbye to our pets never got easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family tried various options \u2014 kennels, hostels, even high-end facilities \u2014 but something always felt missing. \u201cThey were either clinical or chaotic. What we longed for was care \u2014 real, thoughtful, consistent care,\u201d adds Annie, a Director leading automation for Corporate and IoT services.<\/p>\n

So they made a bold decision: if the right place didn\u2019t exist, they would build it.<\/p>\n

Where Tech Meets Tenderness<\/h4>\n

Drawing on their IT expertise, the family built Pups N Cups with the same dedication and process they bring to global tech projects \u2014 but with the heart of pet parents.<\/p>\n

Rahul focused on operational excellence \u2014 designing SOPs for everything from hygiene protocols to medication schedules, ensuring that every dog\u2019s experience is safe, consistent, and well-communicated.<\/p>\n

Annie applied her systems-thinking to design seamless daily workflows and a user-friendly onboarding process that reflects the same attention to detail as any enterprise platform \u2014 only here, it\u2019s tailored for tails.<\/p>\n

Abhishek , a Senior Data Scientist at a leading consulting firm, added a layer of intelligence. \u201cWe use behavioural and health data to adjust play schedules, manage stress triggers, and personalise routines,\u201d he shares. \u201cIt\u2019s not about one-size-fits-all care \u2014 it\u2019s about tuning into each dog\u2019s unique rhythm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Family-Run, Family-Cared<\/h4>\n

What truly sets Pups N Cups apart is the feeling that it\u2019s not just a business \u2014 it\u2019s a home, run by a family who treats every dog like their own.<\/p>\n

Their first in-house adoption was Chintu , a scrappy little indie with charm and mischief in equal measure. Today, he\u2019s part host, part troublemaker, and 100% family. He was followed by Gracy , who found her forever home, and Laxmi , a community dog cared for daily by the staff and neighbours alike. He belongs to no one and everyone \u2014 a quiet reminder that care doesn\u2019t always need ownership.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a family that cares for pets like family,\u201d says Rahul. \u201cWhether it\u2019s our dogs or someone else\u2019s \u2014 they\u2019re all treated with the same love, patience, and responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, the centre welcomes everyone \u2014 golden retrievers, rescued indies, senior dogs, first-time parents, and even students who just miss their pets back home. There\u2019s no judgment, no breed preference, just a quiet, warm welcome.<\/p>\n

A Gentle Revolution in Pet Care<\/h4>\n

As Bangalore\u2019s pet population continues to grow, so does the need for reliable, compassionate care. Pups N Cups has quietly become a model for what modern pet boarding should look like \u2014 not flashy or franchise-driven, but intentional, ethical, and deeply personal.<\/p>\n

While the trio continues their full-time careers in tech, they remain hands-on in shaping the vision, team culture, and experience. A dedicated on-ground staff manages day-to-day care \u2014 backed by processes, empathy, and yes, a lot of belly rubs.<\/p>\n

Their goal remains beautifully simple: to offer everything a dog might need \u2014 play, rest, nourishment, and medical support \u2014 in one calm, caring space.<\/p>\n

In an industry often driven by scale and margins, Pups N Cups stands out for what it brings back: trust, love, and the comfort of knowing your dog is in good hands \u2014 family hands.<\/p>\n
