Huge transformation for me from a techie to a product leader. I felt like it was a journey to discover myself again. This course has actually enabled me to discover what else I can do in life. It has given me an opportunity to move into the next orbit so maybe I can play more responsible roles, I feel confident, and it has given me the skills to handle, guide, and mentor startups. It has given me knowledge and skills that I can even launch my own startup.

It was a memorable journey, every session was memorable. My interaction with Professor Sanjay was amazing, where we actually learned about how the big companies think about future technology, how they actually try to look at their product line, and how they can actually build the solution for the future. So that is something that was very interesting.
Vishal Settipalli Senior Product Manager,

One of the best decisions of adding an EMBA degree to my profile. The learning is experiential and continuous, perfectly relevant and hands-on. There is permanent brain damage that drills into you Product and Customer Thinking and start believing in yourself as a Product Leader. The one line that you will keep hearing from the first minute in your class "AWESOMENESS OR NOTHING". Kudos to the entire team.
Archana MallikarjunaSenior Product Manager Specialist,Telstra
Product management is not taught to us theoretically, we are asked to meet our end customers directly, we are asked to go ahead and take the customer interviews, we are asked to go and sell our products to our prospective customers so there are many things which ipl teaches us on a day-to-day basis.
