Kaivan Dave

Founder at Awesome Sleep

Kaivan Dave is the founder of Awesome Sleep and a lifelong student of human performance. He has been training as an endurance athlete since 2016, completing 5K, 10K, half marathon, and Ironman 70.3 races, and has spent the last four years obsessively tracking his sleep, recovery, HRV, and nutrition using Whoop, Garmin, and Apple Health. That data-driven approach to his own body is what drives every article he writes.

Kaivan writes about sleep science, nasal breathing, and athletic recovery from the inside out, not as a commentator, but as someone who has lived it. He discovered firsthand how nasal breathing, sleep quality, and recovery data are connected, and built Awesome Sleep to bring that same awareness to India, where 93% of people sleep with compromised airways and almost nobody is talking about it.

Before Awesome Sleep, Kaivan spent 15+ years scaling eCommerce businesses as Director of eCommerce at RXBAR (acquired by Kellogg’s ~$600M) and Lifes2Good/Viviscal (acquired by Church & Dwight ~$200M), building a track record of taking health and wellness brands from zero to market leaders. He founded Awesome Sleep to apply that operator experience to a mission he believes in personally: helping India breathe better, sleep deeper, and wake up sharper.
