Hey Ashish, Thanks for the update.
Adding our chart to incubator section of helm community charts repository sounds great. Although (unlike Dockerhub) this repo is for community charts and not really official charts of the respective installations, but supporting this chart in the community chart repo should help with the visibility. Lets also work on adding tests to the helm chart to ensure things are going fine.
