Chetan Ahuja — Co-Founder
15 years scaling a sportswear brand taught me one crucial lesson: Great businesses don't fail because of bad products. They fail because of bad financing. I watched countless brands struggle with the same issues: - Banks demanding personal guarantees - Equity investors wanting majority control - Growth opportunities missed due to capital constraints After building OMG APPARELS from an Asian brand to a North American success story, I realized: Traditional financing wasn't built for modern businesses. That's why I co-founded Debtworks in 2019. Today, we're transforming how businesses access capital: ✓ Facilitated debt fund of ₹1500+ crore without diluting equity ✓ Facilitating up to $3M in US debt financing ✓ Helped 1200+ founders maintain control ✓ Increased client business value by 30% on average ✓ Created flexible financing solutions across Tech, SaaS, Manufacturing & Retail Our solutions include: → Revenue-based financing → Term loans → Invoice discounting → Purchase order financing → Working capital solutions in dollars From managing artists at Kosmic Music to scaling OMG APPARELS across continents, I've seen how the right capital at the right time can transform businesses. Now, I'm helping founders write their own success stories - without sacrificing ownership. Looking to scale your business while keeping control? Let's connect.
