Chethan D'Souza is an Indian stunt director, action designer, fight choreographer, motion capture director and actor with over 22 years of professional experience in martial arts, weapon systems and movement-based action design. His journey in combat training began during his school years, when he started practising karate in the eighth standard, laying the foundation for a career dedicated to cinematic action. His work spans feature films, commercials, games and animation across six Indian film industries.

He is the founder and lead action designer of CF Action Design, a full-service professional stunt team comprising trained fighters, stunt performers, rigging specialists and technical safety crew. The team operates a dedicated stunt-visualisation studio for action previs, technical breakdowns and safety planning. It is also supported by a fully equipped stunt rigging and safety truck, enabling the efficient and safe execution of action sequences across varied locations and production scales.

In addition to live-action filmmaking, Chethan has collaborated with major studios and creative teams on action design for games and animation. As a motion capture consultant, he translates physical performance, combat mechanics and character intent into digital characters using motion capture technology.

He is also the co-founder of Chaos Faktory, a Bengaluru-based movement and action training facility recognised as one of India's largest stunt training centres. The facility supports disciplines including cinematic combat, functional movement, parkour, freerunning and performance conditioning.

A certified All India Stunt Union Master Card holder, Chethan is a multiple-time national and international karate medallist and holds black belts in two martial arts disciplines.
