Hi! 👋 I'm Kavir (pronounced: kuh-veer) — an experienced product manager, writer, and builder based in Bombay, India. Welcome to my tiny corner of the internet! I’ve led product management for Tier 1 VC (Accel, Sequoia) funded startups including CarDekho and Hashnode. And worked across B2B and B2C in auto, fintech, AI, collaboration tools, and media. Ex-founder of an HR-tech startup. ISB and On Deck alum. I built the car loans platform for CarDekho from scratch leading to $12M in annual disbursals, now operating at $1B disbursals annually. At Hashnode, I led the product roadmap to achieve an 80% increase in new sign-up growth rate and a 52% increase in retention of monthly active registered users. Currently, I advise and consult with startups. I also write a newsletter on product and AI with 5K+ subs and tinker with side projects built with AI and no-code. Outside of work, I enjoy pickleball, football, gaming, FIFA, word games, standup comedy, and exploring new places to eat good food.
Building
I am a full-time product person and part-time advisor and builder. ✨ Currently exploring something new. As a PM, I’ve learned how to build apps with Cursor + Claude Sonnet 3.5 / Replit Agents.

Writing
Writing is thinking for me. I write about things that interest me in tech — product management, design, startups, and productivity. Some of my words have been published in publications like Product Craft and Mind the Product.
