Welcome to my Diary of Learnings

I’m Ravi, a curious lifelong learner like you who is keen to build MBA teaching skills as a side hustle.

I am a Sr. Tech PM at a Fortune 100 company based in Bangalore, India.

• Product leader with 11+years experience (8+ in product management & 1+ in Generative AI) who thrives on curiosity, trust, and resilience.

• My path spans Tata Motors’ bustling shop floors, spearheading a leadership center at TAPMI, and delivering enterprise-grade B2B products at both a mid-sized growth startup and a Fortune 100—taking solutions from 0 to 1, then scaling 1 to N across multiple domains.

• Right now, I’m zeroing in on GenAI as my focus, eager to drive AI-powered product initiatives in a people-first company.

  • If you want someone who blends deep technical know-how with a genuine human touch, let’s connect (ravi@ravitejapalanki.com).

• Passionately led the setup and execution of a unique Leadership Development Center at my MBA alma mater (TAPMI) in 2015.

• By day, I guide product strategy & delivery, laser-focused on impact and quality.

• By night, I’m an ever-learning dad embracing empathy, self-awareness, and true work-life harmony.

• Teaching fuels me: through my “Diary of Learnings” on my website and Substack, I share insights on personal growth, AI product development, and authentic leadership.

My life story isn’t just about the classic underdog overcoming the odds. It’s a heartfelt learning journey of a partner who isn’t perfect and a doting father who navigates life’s challenges with curiosity and resilience for his family.

About Me

When my son was born during the pandemic in 2020, fatherhood ignited a powerful desire within me to embark on a journey of personal transformation. I recognized my flaws and mistakes from my past. I was determined to become a better person—someone my son could look up to proudly every day.

Three years ago, I embarked on a meaningful journey of writing birthday letters to my son, capturing the year’s triumphs and challenges while imparting a powerful lesson for him to carry forward. As he turns four now, I’m amplifying this practice to encompass insights from my life on personal growth, crucial skills, and heart-centered leadership.

These letters have transformed into a dynamic map of my growth, reflecting my commitment as a father to evolve and inspire continually. While my private journal holds treasured family moments, these writings will convey universal truths and actionable wisdom.

Now, I’m excited to share this with you, dear reader.

I genuinely believe these notes can be a game-changing resource for you, enriching your inspiring journey through life.

Personal transformation meets future-ready niche skills and heart-centered leadership in this unique creative space.

What to Expect

Regularly, I share honest insights from my journey as a lifelong learner exploring three essential paths:

• Personal Growth: Unlock your potential: Embrace self-discovery, adapt, thrive, and find a deeper meaning to become your best self.

• Future-Ready Niche Skills: Master niche skills such as AI Product Management, critical thinking, storytelling, human psychology, and effective communication to stand out and soar into the top 1% of professionals.

• Heart-Centered Leadership: Learn how to develop human-centered skills to build trust, inspire teams, and achieve sustainable success.

I have personally outlined a thoughtfully structured curriculum as a map divided into three tiers (101, 201, 301). Each level progresses from foundational AI concepts to advanced agentic workflows, ensuring that traditional product managers transitioning into AI roles have a clear roadmap. If you want to start now, this is the best place.

A Note on Rhythm & Commitment

Dear Fellow Learners,

As a dad navigating the beautiful chaos of toddler life, I believe in honest commitments. I plan to share around 100+ letters in 2025 - each crafted with care and drawn from real experiments in growth.

I'll take four weeks off during the year to recharge and create space for family moments. These breaks help ensure that when I write, it comes from a place of genuine insight and meaningful reflection.
