A story in 5 chapters
I built a brand, sold it, and now I build with founders.
I'm Kavea. Fractional Cofounder to early and plateaued D2C founders. On every call, in every decision, without taking equity.

hi, I'm Kavea
I started as a training person. Learning and development.
Then McKinsey, KPMG and Deloitte. Then Global Head of L&D at Jet Airways, with time at Go Air and Reliance Nippon Life.
I built teams. I learnt how organisations grow, break and rebuild.
In the middle of COVID, I started Bombay Toy Company.
No experience in toys. No experience running a business.
I built an all-women team and sold online. All from home, while raising my 3 kids.
Everything I teach now, I learnt here first.
By 2024 it was doing about USD 600,000 a year. Then I exited.
It wasn't just revenue or brand. It was independence.
Systems that didn't rely on me. A team that could run without the founder at the centre.
Businesses don't stall because of effort. They stall because of structure.Something I say a lot
After the exit I read. A lot. I studied the industry.
I helped friends and family set up small businesses.
People kept bringing me their most vulnerable business conversations. So in December 2025, I made it formal: Kavea & Co.
I don't advise from the sidelines and leave you with a deck.
Pricing, margins, positioning, website, ads, repeat customers, team and systems. I work on all of it, with you.
