Community Specialist
Turning Strategy into Scalable Engines 👨🏭
I help businesses grow through sharp strategy, community-led growth, and systematic execution. Based in Pune — working with founders and teams worldwide.
Hello — I'm Kritesh. As an ENFJ, I'm wired for people and outcomes. I combine deep technical understanding with strategic business thinking to help founders and teams unlock sustainable growth.
My work sits at the intersection of community building, growth consulting, and automation. I've helped organisations design engagement systems, scale their user bases, and build the operational infrastructure to support it all.
I believe the best results come from genuine collaboration, clear thinking, and consistent execution — and I bring all three to every engagement.
Long-form writing on community building, business strategy, and technology — published across the web.
If I could share one piece of wisdom with my younger self, it would be this distinction. Awareness is simply being present — it’s understanding what you want and what you don’t. Consciousness is the depth: the level of commitment to actually shaping your own path.
Think of life as a game of Bingo. At the start, we’re handed a preset card filled with expectations from school and society. At a higher level of consciousness, you realise you can design your own card — and that changes everything.
K-RITE is launching a new Decoding Series — breaking down how a Community, Product, or Service reaches their audience 360°, from Onboarding to Analysis. Plus frameworks and resources included.
For the first edition, we are decoding Capx — an awesome Web3 project. A deep-dive into how they build and sustain community-led growth across their entire funnel.
Irrespective of your position, ease of working is a game changer. But what does it actually mean — and how do you get it? From “No Hello” to proper ETAs and the XY Problem, these 6 principles will make you the person everyone wants to work with.
There are only two types of people: those who bring energy and positivity, and those who don’t. This applies to managers too. Here’s how to be the former — consistently.
You can save a lot by using free and open source software. From Invoice Ninja to Vaultwarden, Paperless-ngx to Ghost CMS — 15 battle-tested FOSS projects that replace expensive SaaS subscriptions for startups and SMEs.
Self-hosted alternatives now rival — and in many cases exceed — the functionality of the paid tools you’re already using. Here’s the full list with alternatives and use cases.
Starting from $3/user — Microsoft 365 bundles Bookings, Teams, Planner, SharePoint, Power Automate, and more into a single subscription that replaces $100+/month of individual tools for bootstrap founders.
My intention is simply to help founders invest in a good ERP at the best pricing. You’re saving a minimum of $100 and only spending $3. No sponsored content — just real value.
