Chetanprakash “CP” Heda is the Founder and CEO of Esstart.
From weddings to corporate parties to birthdays and beyond, Esstart seeks to bring people together and enhance entertainment with thoughtful, all-inclusive technology. Their first product, Instant Spotlight, is an interactive photo wall event guests can upload photos to in real time—the first ever of its kind. Instant Spotlight features photo contests and leaderboards as well as opportunities for social media sharing and onsite photo printing to heighten participation and enjoyment. Esstart plans to release many more experiential activities for events on their platform.
Esstart prides itself on maximizing engagement while minimizing challenges. It is 100% digital and does not require any app or downloads. Hosts can avoid painstaking equipment setups by simply logging in from any device and guests won’t have to plan ahead; they can access straight from a QR code. The platform offers AI moderation, and its wide array of customization options make it perfect for personalization, themed or branded events, and sponsorships.
After a decade leading critical technology systems for WWE and with personal experience as a Bollywood music DJ and live event photographer, Chetanprakash “CP” Heda set out on a mission: to end boring events once and for all. That’s when he founded Esstart, an innovative experiential platform with the mission to use technology to make events more interactive, memorable, and inclusive.
