In early October 2026 I posted two LinkedIn reposts to tease a conversation about the shifting landscape of enterprise‑scale AI.

- Intelligence is getting cheaper.
- Speed is where the real price is now paid.
- The biggest models no longer guarantee a win, and the value is moving somewhere most people aren't looking.
- Who wins now
  What dies next
  What it means for your career

I am an AI and product leader based in San Francisco, currently building OpenFactoryAI at Kalmantic. My career spans computer‑vision startups, product leadership at Intuit, multiple founder roles, and advisory positions. I believe AI makes code cheap and the real challenge is product discovery, validation, and delivery.

I am Founder & CEO of Kalmantic Lab since Jan 2026, focusing on inference, agents, and software factories.

I co‑host the “RK on AI” podcast (Jan 2026‑present).

I am a Founding Member & CTO of the Peak Inference Forum since Feb 2026 in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I served as AI Advisor and Board Advisor at Hexaview Technologies Inc. from Feb 2025 to Mar 2026, working on AI transition.

I co‑founded Upekkha (Mar 2023‑Dec 2025) to back B2B founders with pre‑seed bets in bamboo shoots that SV ignores.

I was Product Leader at Intuit (Aug 2015‑Sep 2016) as part of the QuickBooks India leadership team.

I co‑founded and served as CEO of Motvik (Oct 2006‑May 2011), growing the user base to 1.5 million with no marketing spend.

Motvik won the Global Mobile Monday Peer Award 2008 and the USID People’s Choice Award 2009.

I earned the AI Readiness Certification in Jun 2026 from jusCode.
