Snupit reflects on how it has helped small local companies

Snupit takes a moment to recognise the local companies that have used the platform to change their businesses for the better. Looking back to the origins of Snupit, it was created out of a need to easily find and hire a local service online.

The founder, Avinash Samlall, built Snupit because he quite literally couldn't find a service like it when he needed it. And within six years, Snupit has become the leading online platform in South Africa where local businesses find jobs and new customers.

Now, Snupit takes a moment to reflect on how it has changed the lives of so many local companies, while also providing a simple way for people to get their work done.

Here's what some of the many successful business owners on Snupit have to say about this amazing platform:

Talking about how Snupit has touched so many lives and helped local businesses, Samlall remarked: "I get to work with small business owners who have started their own companies and through sheer determination and hard work, they've achieved their dreams.

"To me, they are entrepreneurs who are shaping the local economy, and its inspiring to hear that we get to play some part in their efforts."
