I still remember hearing how the Product Manager role will be dead because of AI. I think those who said this didn’t realize that its not just about writing PRDs or creating specs. A PM’s job is to deeply think about the user, the industry and build something valuable for them. The empathy side of PMs can’t be automated using AI. Sure, AI can ... Read More

Its been quite a journey with AI since the ChatGPT announcement in 2022. We’ve seen many startups built around AI, companies pivoting to new AI features and people adopting the technology to build something cool for themselves. 2025 I guess was the year of agents and this year its about orechestration and scaling agents. Software is being bui... Read More

Last few weeks, I had a chance to try and play around with OpenClaw. The hype is crazy. Everybody seems to be making tutorials, vidoes and tweets about how amazing this is. The use cases seem powerful. Booking flights, making bets on polymarket, sending emails using files from your folder, remotely controlling your laptop from your phone, the... Read More

“Grduate jobs will disappear” - a common phrase we hear from top AI companies. Its true in some sense that the current LLMs are at the level of a fresher or junior software engineer. However, its very disheartening if you are a student just beginning university to hear such words. What do you study? How do you prepare yourselves for the future... Read More

The past few weeks I’ve been trying to learn about design and product thinking. I believe that first principles thinking is key to being a good product person. Every great product solves a problem and delivers value at scale. Take craigslist for example, a popular site for buying and selling items. Craigslist generates around a billion dollar... Read More

I decided to pursue my MBA around the end of 2023. Why? I felt I needed a change in my life and wanted exposure to new experiences and a new environment. I had lived in my home city my entire life. It was also a chance for me to learn new professional and personal skills, learn about myself and my capabilities, and connect with professionals f... Read More

Over the past 1.5 years, I’ve been trying out many of the LLM products out there for researching a topic, curbing my curiosity, or solving something related to work. I’ve explored ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity (which by default uses Meta’s Llama). I must say, students of all age groups in the LLM era are really lucky. They can save s... Read More

Ever since ChatGPT—OpenAI’s premier product burst onto the scene around 2022, the world has changed rapidly, with large language models opening up new possibilities every day. Adding to this, other multimodal models like text-to-video, speech-to-text are seeing massive growth over the last few months - Sora, Dall-E, Stable Diffusion, Veo… the ... Read More

2024 so far has been a rollercoaster ride with my job role pivoting towards product management. I never really thought that I would take up this role when I first started my career. It was only when I got exposed to this job function that my interests started to align with product management. Half of the job is around people management/soft sk... Read More

The IELTS test is a common requirement for non-native English speakers who wish to study or work abroad in English speaking countries. I won’t delve into the IELTS test format in detail, you can find more information on their website. However, I would like to share some things from my experience of studying and getting a 8.5 band on this test.... Read More

Hey There! Thanks for visiting my blog. I started this blog after realizing that I needed to improve my writing skills. A personal portfolio+blog website is also one of the best ways to reflect on yourself time to time and see how far you’ve come. This blog will now become a place to pen down my thoughts. This website was setup using Jekyll an... Read More
