Bio
Harmeet Chawla
Chirag and I led the student sector divisions at AIESEC Kolkata and Hyderabad respectively. I’ve always admired Chirag for his creative solutions and resourcefulness in getting the job done. Chirag was one of the few members of our team who was able to execute on complex programs without losing sight of the bigger picture and mission. I will be thankful for his guidance while we worked together on building a good pipeline of course exchange talent for AIESEC India. His energy and sense of humor always kept team morale high.

Chirag was directly handling the brand of Navitas Solar and it's been exceptional. The way he thinks, plans and executes is particularly amazing, and with a great team that he very well leads, it becomes an even smoother process. Going to Chirag for solutions to any communication related issue is common for us, and the way our brand has grown with him, it's fantastic. I appreciate him for his brand management, strategy, leadership and communication/creative skills.

Working with Chirag for the past 2 years has been a pleasurable experience. He excels in supervising, guiding and motivating team members and brings out the best in each one of us. He is a natural leader and problem solver, easily identifying and proposing solutions to any bumps the team may face along the way. Having worked with many professionals in the design field, Chirag is truly unique as he does not hesitate to understand one's situation and provide the most help he can. Not only as a leader, but Chirag is a truly remarkable person as a human being. I wish him the very best in all his future endeavors.
