You might be forgiven for approaching the idea of yet another dating site with fatigue. But Adam Sachs, the 29 year-old founder of Stepout (formerly Ignighter) will not have it. When we meet him at a a coffee shop in Bandra on a cool Tuesday, the man with a big smile tells us that the site is so much more — “we prefer to call it a social website which looks at creating a space where users can meet as per their choice and convenience.”

Sachs graduated from Northwestern University in Illinois in 2005 and then worked at Sony Pictures Entertainment in the Marketing and Sales Department for one-and-a-half years. In early 2011, with an enviable resume in hand, he headed to India to launch Stepout (.com), a dating website based in India and the United States.
