👋 Hi, I am Keshav!

Currently building something new with my friend @JonathanZWhite. Excited to share what it is soon!

I immigrated to the U.S. when I was 11. I dropped out of college after 3 years to solo-found my first company, Homeroom to bridge the communication gap between students & teachers in classrooms. I managed the entire end-to-end product experience, from design, engineering, growth, and sales.

Most recently, I joined Webflow's early product team as their first Technical PM, where I kicked off key infra initiatives and led features that enabled non-technical designers to build on the web.

Things I write

Product is a mindset.

From the outside looking in, Product Management seems like a black box. Before accepting my first PM job, I asked the same question.

Role Model

As I write this blog post, I still sit in disbelief and devastation to wake up to the news that Kobe Bryant had been killed in a helicopter incident, along with his daughter.

(Draft) Research: Loneliness

My friend @SergeiChestakov and I have been doing research about social isolation, aka loneliness, because we were shocked by how...

Draft #1: What is consciousness.

What is it and why is it? It's bizzare that as human beings with consciousness, we can barely comprehend what it truly is.

7 lessons from starting my first startup

At 19, I started my first startup as a solo founder called Homeroom right after dropping out of college. After 2 years, I reflect on the journey, mistakes I made, and lessons I learned.

Redefine systems, not build apps

More startups are failing more than ever. You hear a cool story of an app blowing up, and then crumbling to its inevitable end within months. Why is that?

Building my new blog using Webflow

I recently switched my blog from building with Gatsby and Netlify to building it on Webflow. Is it because I now work at Webflow? ... The answer is a hard No.

Here are some of the things I've built in the past, from small projects to my first startup.
