About

I am Chetan, cofounder of Honest Create and Pitchto.vc and before I started my entrepreneurial journey, I worked for startups + enterprises across India, US and UK (from India) in roles across advertising, account management, business development, project management and product marketing.  One thing that was consistent was my understanding of authentic communication and using it to drive sales and product growth. And that's why building decks is something I enjoyed across my 14 years of working before HC. Also my curiosity for new experiences and love for people and communities have helped me build an enviable network over the years, which has further compounded my learnings multifold. In 2019, I Co-founded Honest Create....

Creative, entrepreneurial and trained in strategy driven innovation, I am always willing to defend new ideas that can positively impact business' bottom-line.
