"IPL must be one of the few in the industry moving away from traditional resume-based interviews. The whole process was very well organized and moderated by IPL. Gone are days of hiring based on just resumes, IPL makes their candidates prove their worth even before joining your org. I will definitely be back when I have more roles to fill!"

I was a business analyst and I was having a customer-facing role collecting requirements. Then I realized through my research that product management is an area which is a smooth transition and I came across the Institute of Product Leadership and their hands-on learning model. Before IPL, there were a lot of things I didn't know about product management. But after doing the course, I picked up a lot of Frameworks and Product Skills. There's also a lot of showcasing of your own ideas from what you learn. Now product management has become a way of life for me.
