Why tracking mutual funds across multiple AMCs in India feels harder than it should
I had my investments spread across a few AMCs. Nothing complicated. But every time I wanted to understand my portfolio, I found myself doing the same thing. Open one AMC site.Check a few funds. Google their returns. Switch to another app.Then finally go back to my search results. It worked. But it never felt simple. And more importantly, it never answered the one question I actually cared about. What is the true return for the fund i am researching right now ? Cognitive Block

The price you pay for choosing least privilege
There is a real cost to building products on the principle of least privilege. Nithin Kamath wrote recently about how systems designed with strict permissions, limited access, and tighter controls are harder to build, slower to ship, and often less convenient in the short term. But they tend to be safer, more resilient, and more trustworthy over time. That observation stayed with me because this is something we run into constantly while building Aarambh and Saarthi. In theory

A Beginner No More: Extending My Journey With Claude and Product Thinking
This post is a continuation of a series that began as a simple curiosity about what AI could do for a product manager. I started working on this primarily out of curiosity, attempting to use these workflows in my own founder's journey. What started as a small experiment has now grown into a practical, repeatable workflow that i can now use to think, plan and build. Today’s piece is about the another step in that journey: using Claude to generate a real product roadmap and

Building With Claude: From Simple Prompts to a Working Prototype
Continuing from my previous series on Claude and experiments - Click here for post #1 In my experience, Claude has been remarkably versatile in understanding natural language. I simply tell it what i want to do, and it gets the instructions quite clearly. This is obviously the easiest and path of least resistance as a newbie. But if you’re serious about learning AI, you should also be serious about learning the techniques that go with it. Definitely not simple! When I first

A Beginner’s Journey from Curiosity to Code
As a founder, I’ve always believed that great products come alive when ideas and execution meet halfway. Yet, in most teams, that bridge feels wider than it should. Founders and product managers think in “why” and “what,” while engineers live in the “how.”That’s where my curiosity about Claude Code began . Claude is a conversational AI coding tool that lets non-engineers explore, experiment, and even prototype logic directly in plain language. For anyone building products, i
