Jitendra Sanwal

Jitendra "Jeet" Sanwal is the founder and editor-in-chief of Who Is The Owner Of, which he launched in 2018. He has spent the last eight years researching, writing and verifying ownership profiles for hundreds of global companies — from American publicly-listed giants and Premier League football clubs to private family-run conglomerates. Jeet runs JSAN Media, a Haldwani-based digital publishing studio whose properties reach readers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. He is responsible for the editorial standards on this site: every published post is cross-checked against primary sources — SEC EDGAR filings for US-listed companies, Companies House for UK businesses, ROC filings for Indian businesses — and tier-1 secondary sources like Forbes, Bloomberg, WSJ, Reuters and the Financial Times. An SEO and WordPress specialist by background, he has built and operated more than 500 content properties since 2018, and currently leads a small research team that keeps WITOO's ownership data current quarterly.
