In the middle of an engagement, the CEO of Instamojo says: “You know Mohit, we have been running this business for seven, eight years, but it’s only now we have understood what we really do”

​Mohit Bansal is the Founder of Deck Rooster, a Chandigarh based company that conceptualises and creates startup pitch decks.

Decks that get high praise from clients:
​
​“Don’t waste two per cent on a Banker, these folks at Deck Rooster rock!”​
– Ravish Naresh, CEO, KhataBook.
​
“Deck Rooster guys not only helped bring our story to life with visuals, but were an equal thought-partner in helping me articulate the story. Strongly recommend.”
– Vikram Chopra, Co-founder and CEO, Cars24
​
Deck Rooster’s clients include startups funded by investors you may have heard of: Goldman Sachs, Accel Partners, Khosla Ventures, Sequoia, IDG, Blume VC, Y Combinator and other top VCs.
​
As the Founder and chief Storyteller at Deck Rooster, Mohit has had a fascinating journey – from being fired as an intern and being terrified of public speaking… to now confidently creating decks that raise millions of dollars in funding.
​
In this conversation, we discuss:

• Mohit’s unique honesty and how that helps him at work
• How he uses an ‘army of referrers’ to spread the word about Deck Rooster
• His unique visual approach to crafting the pitch story
• Why it’s critical for him to find the “anchor” of the story first
• Some specific tools that he prefers to create his decks (including one by Microsoft that will surprise you!)
