How Kavir Can Be Useful

I am an experienced product manager, writer, and builder based in Bombay, India. I have led product management for Tier 1 VC (Accel, Sequoia) funded startups including CarDekho and Hashnode. I have worked across B2B and B2C in auto, fintech, AI, collaboration tools, and media. I am also an ex-founder of an HR-tech startup and an ISB and On Deck alum.

Track Record

• Built the car loans platform for CarDekho from scratch, leading to $12M in annual disbursals. The platform now operates at $1B disbursals annually.
• At Hashnode, 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 am a product builder creating apps with AI, I advise and consult with startups, and I write a newsletter on product and AI -- The Discourse -- with 5K+ subscribers.

Areas Where I Can Help

No-Code

I can connect you with no-code experts and builders to build MVPs in Bubble, Softr, Glide, Webflow, and Framer. I can help select the right tools and platforms depending on your use case.

Whether you need to build a quick prototype to validate an idea or a more polished MVP to show investors, no-code is often the fastest and most cost-effective path.

Product Management

I can help with:

• Product specs review -- reviewing your PRDs, user stories, and feature specifications.
• Prioritization support -- helping you decide what to build next using frameworks that work.
• Metrics tracking -- setting up the right metrics and dashboards to track what matters.
• Planning -- sprint planning, roadmapping, and setting up minimum viable processes.
• Guides -- helping you set up the minimum viable processes your team needs.

AI

I created a compilation of ChatGPT prompts for PMs that has been downloaded by 4,000+ people. I have also created many live and functioning web apps using AI coding.

I can help with:

• Overall AI strategy -- figuring out where and how AI fits into your product.
• Prompt engineering -- crafting effective prompts for your specific use cases.
• AI-enabled prototypes -- creating live, functioning prototypes that demonstrate AI capabilities.

Networking and Distribution

I can help share your product or content through my network:

• Email channels -- reaching my newsletter subscribers.
