Chirag N Raval is an outlier in a world obsessed with specialization — a rare fusion of sharp business acumen, quiet community leadership, and imaginative creativity. Some know him as the design guy. Others see him as the voice of reason in residential meetings. But behind the emails, the rate cards, and the pixel grids lies a much bigger story — a story still unfolding.
The Strategist in Pixels
Chirag’s career began in the digital trenches — long before Canva and AI tools took over the creative space. Over two decades, he honed his skills in online advertising operations outsourcing, eventually founding Climp Media, a global innovative and ad ops agency.
From display ad banners to social media graphics, landing page designs, and even animated GIFs, Chirag developed not just a service menu but a reputation. Clients trust him not just for what he creates but how he delivers: on time, precise, and often, better than expected. One day, he’s working on display ads for a U.S. government-focused client, and the next, planning creative sticker campaigns that turn pet photos into waterproof 5-inch vinyl memories.
Community First: The Election Committee & My Home Avatar
But Chirag’s influence isn’t limited to the business world. In My Home Avatar, the residential community he calls home, he serves on the Election Committee, an independent body tasked with ensuring smooth, fair, and transparent resident elections.
His work involves:
- Drafting detailed letters to all homeowners
- Coordinating EO (Election Officer) appointments
- Streamlining eVoting options
- Handling member data accuracy
- Communicating with the Caretaker Committee with clarity and diplomacy
When a vendor tried to re-engage during election season, Chirag was quick to draw the line, pointing out past grievances like stale food complaints and the inappropriateness of their timing. Fairness, professionalism, and clear boundaries — those are his rules.
Design Meets Depth: From School Labels to Custom Stickers
Beyond corporate work, Chirag lends his design eye to school notebook stickers, baby posters, and even die-cut sticker campaigns where customers submit personal images for custom designs.
His prompts aren’t just creative; they’re crafted for clarity, making AI tools generate exactly what he imagines. Whether it’s designing posters for kitten adoptions or baby milestone shoots featuring the whole family, Chirag approaches every project with care.
Even product messaging is strategic: customers are informed upfront that one person per sticker package is allowed, adding operational clarity to creative fun.
The Caravan Dream
Perhaps the most personal of Chirag’s aspirations is his plan to build a caravan — a traveling home for his family. The idea? Use it for getaways, and rent it out when idle.
He’s already researched builders like Reddy Customs and First Indian Camper, questioned materials and sustainability, and decided on a van that’s both practical and future-proof. This isn’t just a dream; it’s a blueprint in progress.
A Wooden Cottage in the Wild
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Hyderabad, a wooden farmhouse cottage named Rustic Wood – The Cozy Nature Escape is ready to welcome guests. Chirag envisions it as a tranquil retreat — a space occasionally used by his family and otherwise listed on Airbnb.
It’s more than just a getaway. It’s a living expression of balance: design, utility, nature, and peace.
An Eye for Opportunity: From EOI to Entrepreneurship
Chirag doesn’t just manage — he evaluates. He was deeply involved in the Expression of Interest (EOI) process for a new salon at My Home Avatar, analyzing:
- Vendor experience
- Turnover
- Pricing sustainability
- Dual relationships and conflicts of interest
Brands like Naturals, Green Trends, and Toni & Guy were all assessed not just on their reputation, but how well they’d integrate into the community.
He’s also explored low-investment business ideas under ₹5 lakh, proving once again that his entrepreneurial instincts are constantly searching, scanning, and shaping new possibilities.
Passions Beyond Profession
What truly rounds out Chirag’s world is what happens when the work is done. A self-proclaimed Swiss watch collector, he finds fascination in intricate craftsmanship, collecting rare and limited-edition timepieces that tell more than just time — they narrate legacy.
When he’s not admiring the finesse of a dial or the perfection of a movement, Chirag unwinds with his PlayStation, indulging in immersive gaming adventures that challenge the mind and entertain the soul.
Equally passionate about nature, he often escapes into the wild as a hobby wildlife photographer, capturing fleeting moments of beauty through the lens. Jungle safaris, quiet forests, rare bird sightings — they’re all part of his visual diary. His camera bag, always packed with powerful lenses, tells its own story.
And then there’s his role as a quiet enabler: for the past three years, Chirag has run a Carpenter Group, connecting skilled carpenters to community residents, helping both sides find value, trust, and reliability. What began as a small gesture has grown into a dependable network of problem-solving and employment, making him a go-to name whenever any woodwork challenge arises.
More Than a Label
At his core, Chirag is someone who gets things done. From composing delicate community announcements to preparing weekly reports for clients supporting U.S. government initiatives, he understands discretion, professionalism, and presentation.
He’s Gujarati, deeply rooted in family and values, yet outward-looking and progressive in business. He’s been a COO, a founder, a creative director, and a committee member — sometimes all in one day.
So yes, this blog is about Chirag N Raval.
But really, it’s about possibility — and how one person can quietly, steadily, and effectively weave family, business, creativity, and community into a meaningful life.
What’s Next?
As of now, the caravan isn’t built, but Rustic Wood is already welcoming dreams. The election may still be ongoing, but clarity is never far behind. And if history is any guide, Chirag’s next chapter is already underway — with intention, vision, and maybe, a dash of perfectly aligned text.
Follow the journey. Because this is only the first blog — the title said it best: Not all can be covered in one blog.
