Jetra Chavda

Over the last 4.5 years, I've worked across venture capital and the Founder's Office at BimaKavach. My experience spans both strategy and execution, from leading investment evaluations and market research to driving a Pre-Series A fundraise, rebuilding MIS systems that reduced reporting time by 80%, improving ROAS from 0.25 to 1:1, and creating revenue-tracking systems that recovered lost revenue.

I enjoy operating in ambiguous environments, solving problems from first principles, and getting involved wherever the business needs support. The opportunity to work across functions and contribute directly to building category-defining ventures.
