About

I have been a business development manager, a business analyst, a startup founder, PM and now a Senior PM building AI products. Nobody plans a journey like that. Mine happened one unexpected yes at a time.Life kept throwing opportunities at me. I kept saying yes. That is how I ended up here. Senior PM. Building AI products and AI agents. Helping businesses grow with technology that actually works. I do not just talk about AI. I build with it. I use tools like Claude Code, Custom GPT, Lovable, Perplexity in my daily product work, from discovery to prototyping to shipping. Right now I am focused on three things: 1. Building AI products that solve real problems for real businesses. 2. Helping aspiring PMs and founders understand how to use AI practically, not theoretically.3. Sharing everything I learn openly so others do not have to figure it out alone.I write about AI in product, growth, and what it actually takes to build things that work.If you are a founder trying to understand where AI fits in your product, a PM wanting to level up, or a company looking for someone who has actually done this, let's talk.Github: https://github.com/Dhavalk21Topmate: https://topmate.io/dhaval_kareliya
