About

Hi everyone. This is Pranav, a problem-solver, learner, and a builder. Currently, I’m building Dhanraksha, where we look into end-to-end financial services for a diversified clientele. Our dedicated team has helped over 700+ families across India, including 60+ families from the Indian Army. With our partners having ₹300+ crore in assets invested and backed by 22+ years of service, we’re proud to make a lasting impact. My long-term goal is to make finance easy and accessible to all the ordinary people around us. But my journey didn’t begin here. Before Dhanraksha, I co-founded a talent marketplace that connected businesses with top freelance talent, where I first experienced entrepreneurship. While that venture didn’t go as planned, it guided my path to create solutions that scale. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of leading prominent projects like: ► At Leap Scholar, aunched the UAE market and achieved profitability in just six months. ► At Testbook, Built the educator sales program, growing its revenue contribution from 3% to 18% in six months. Helped onboard 150+ faculty members and received the "Emerging Leader" award. ► At Urban company, managed 500+ service partners and delivered ₹35 crore in GSV while improving customer satisfaction (NPS +30). Introduced high-demand services like sanitisation, driving 14% of the category’s revenue. Along the way, I’ve led teams, built frameworks from scratch, and always kept my focus on delivering impact. As an ISB Alum specialising in Strategy and Leadership and a CFA Level 3 aspirant, I'm using my finance and leadership acumen to make Dhanraksha synonymous with trust and excellence in financial services. Outside the hustle, you’ll find me strategising my next chess move, hitting the squash court, or exploring new destinations. If you’re working on exciting projects or just want to chat about startups, markets, or business strategies, shoot an email to pranav.chhabria91@gmail.com, or let’s connect.
