Our Desi Founder
Meet Chaitra Divate,
Empowering women isn’t just her goal — it’s her purpose, woven into every story she tells.
Chaitra Divate is the founder of “Desi Udyoginis”, a digital platform dedicated to celebrating the strength, creativity, and resilience of Indian women entrepreneurs. For Chaitra, Desi Udyoginis was born from a simple yet powerful belief — that every woman’s entrepreneurial journey deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated.

With a strong background in storytelling and marketing, Chaitra brings together her experience as the Co-Founder of Mountain Flower Animation and her passion for authentic narratives. Through interviews, features, and startup stories, she created Desi Udyoginis as a platform where women-led businesses are seen, heard, and celebrated across India’s entrepreneurial landscape.
Vision
Chaitra envisions Desi Udyoginis as more than a brand — a vibrant community where women entrepreneurs gain visibility, mentorship, and meaningful connections.
