Roopstigo is named in the spirit of Roops, a beloved golden retriever who was curious, mischievous and had a mind all his own. He loved sticks, but wouldn't fetch them. He liked jazz, but tuned out commands. He was a different kind of dog. What better ode to a pet than, well, to name a media company after him?
