France .The iconic red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, a stage known for celebrity glamour, stunning fashion and powerful statements, witnessed a proud moment for Nepal this year.
Nepali entrepreneur Bhupendra Khanal from Uralabari, Morang, together with his wife Sneh Khanal, made a striking appearance at the prestigious 2026 Cannes Film Festival red carpet. The couple, founders of Dogsee Chew, an international premium dog treat brand headquartered in Bengaluru, India used this global platform to highlight the importance of pet care and wellness.
Bhupendra, a prominent Indian entrepreneur of Nepali origin and founder of the well-known social media analytics company Simplify360, along with his wife Sneh, showcased a perfect blend of Nepali and Indian cultural elements in their attire, highlighted by elegant embroidery featuring their dog Mowgli, a golden retriever, who inspired the couple to start Dogsee Chew.
Their presence has been widely appreciated as a significant statement on the global rise of responsible pet ownership and the growing importance of natural pet nutrition.
“The world is waking up to what pet parents have always known. Pets are family, and they deserve the very best. At Dogsee, that belief has driven every product we have built and every market we have entered. Cannes is where we take that story to the world, and we are just getting started,” said Bhupendra Khanal, Co-Founder and CEO, Dogsee Chew.
For Bhupendra and Sneh, walking the Cannes red carpet was more than just a brand moment. It represented the cultural shift of pets becoming beloved family members and the booming commercial potential of the pet care industry worldwide.
In today’s modern lifestyles, pets are increasingly considered integral parts of the family. This transformation has turned pet nutrition, wellness and responsible care into a powerful global movement that continues to shape consumer choices and premium product trends.
“Cannes is where the world’s most compelling stories find their audience. Dogsee began with a bold belief that pets deserve better, and ten years later, that belief has brought us to the red carpet at the 79th Cannes Film Festival. That is what happens when you think big and stay true to your vision,” said Sneh Khanal, Co-Founder and CMO, Dogsee Chew.
Established in 2015 by Bhupendra and Sneh Khanal, Dogsee Chew has beautifully connected the pure, natural chhurpi of the Himalayas with the health needs of dogs. The brand has created a strong identity in the international market as premium Himalayan Yak Chews. Today, it is present in over 30 countries and trusted by millions of pet parents who seek clean, healthy and truly natural nutrition for their companions.
Bhupendra’s walk on the Cannes red carpet marks a proud and historic moment for Nepal and Nepalis worldwide. He has achieved a rare feat previously accomplished by only a select few: actors Surakshya Panta and Pradeep Khadka, and the then Mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City and current Prime Minister, Balendra Shah.
