Are you aspiring to become a Product Manager but don’t know where to start? I’ve been in your shoes not too long ago, and today I work as an AI Product Manager at a global startup. Along the way, I’ve mentored 8+ students from BITS, IIT, and other universities, helping them land PM internships, build projects, and gain clarity in their careers.

In this session, we’ll cover:

  • Breaking in: How to make the transition into PM from student or another role.
  • Skill-building roadmap: The real skills companies look for (beyond just buzzwords).
  • Applications & interviews: Resume tips, networking strategies, and how to stand out in interviews.
  • Day-in-the-life insights: What being a PM in an AI/tech startup is really like.

💡 You’ll leave with a personalized action plan and clear next steps.

This session is best suited for:

  • Students and early professionals curious about PM.
  • Aspiring PMs from tech/non-tech backgrounds.
  • Anyone who wants honest, real-world guidance (not generic theory).
