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 background in storytelling and marketing, Chaitra combines her experience as the Co-Founder of Mountain Flower Animation with her passion for real stories to build a space where women-led businesses shine. Through interviews, features, and inspiring startup stories, Desi Udyoginis aims to bridge the gap between ‘grassroots women entrepreneurs’ and the larger entrepreneurial ecosystem of India.
Her vision is to create a vibrant community where women not only find inspiration but also gain visibility, mentorship, and meaningful connections. For Chaitra, Desi Udyoginis isn’t just a brand — it’s a movement to rewrite India’s startup story through the lens of women who dare to dream and lead.
Empowering women isn’t just her goal — it’s her purpose, woven into every story she tells. 🌸
