Products I built

Community I Manage

The largest community of IIT Kharagpur alumni focused on building products, with 300+ members ranging from Group PMs at major tech companies to Associate Product Managers and founders. I’ve organized over 30 online events, managed job postings, provided resume reviews, and assisted with interview preparation. Offline meetups are in the works.

Key lessons learned while managing the community:

  • Conversations can't be forced. Allow someone to initiate, and ensure they find value once they do.
  • Avoid over-regulating. The community is filled with smart individuals who self-moderate.
  • Ensure every conversation provides value. If two people have a niche discussion, document it in a way that benefits the broader group.

About me

Hey, curious soul! Glad to see you here.
If you are here, I assume you want to know me outside of building products.

I like to write in smaller sentences and prefer points over paragraphs. I speak in memes.

I’m in my late 20s. I have had my “Bunny” phase of life, but now I am getting used to the “Kabir” phase, IYKWIM.

I’m currently obsessed with Airfryer. You will often find me uploading my Airfryer experiments. I am trying to make my daily protein intake tastier and fun.

Don’t follow me on Instagram; otherwise, you will become obsessed with getting fit. I aspire to be a mountaineer—to climb Everest—so I spend a good amount of time training every week.

The goal for 2025 is to run the Hell Race—Jaisalmer—100km and climb >5000m peaks and passes in the Himalayan ranges.

Generous words from folks I worked with

Saurav Pratihar
Founding team, developer, Lessonpal
I've had the pleasure of working with Tanmay as a Product Manager at Lessonpal, and he has been nothing short of outstanding. Tanmay consistently brings fresh ideas to the table, communicates effectively across teams, and keeps projects on track with his organized approach. He is proactive, solution-driven, and a true asset to any team.
Soumya Pasumarthy
Senior Product Manager, Branching Minds
I had the opportunity of working closely with Tanmay for over a year at Lessonpal. He was a fantastic thought partner and great to work with. His strength lies in his ability to work across the entire product development journey, from customer research and product requirements to going deep with the engineering team over multiple implementation cycles. This was a great asset as an early stage startup. He is extremely detail-oriented and collaborative, constantly working backwards from customer needs and experience.
I wish him all the best for his current and future endeavours!
Natasha John
Product Designer, Lessonpal
I’ve worked with Tanmay for almost 2 years on multiple projects like SEO initiatives, a referral program, and designing new product features for Lessonpal. He has sharp product and design sense and consistently brings valuable insights to the table. Tanmay is also great at mapping out every possible use case for the features we’ve built, which has made my design process much smoother and more efficient. He even pitched in with design work when we were on tight deadlines. He’s an excellent product manager and it’s been wonderful collaborating with him at Lessonpal!
