Nizami Bonhomie for IPL’s DILO Seminar

Hyderabadis are famous for their mehmaan nawaazi - the warmth and hospitality they extend towards visitors. IPL’s “Day in the Life of a Product Manager” seminar was no exception. During our first seminar outside Bangalore, the City of Nizams gave a tumultuous response to IPL’s senior faculty and guest speakers.

Over a hundred Hyderabadis gathered at the Radisson to listen to Prof. Rahul Abhyankar and Prof. Tathagat Varma speak about career acceleration and leadership skills. Guest speakers included Vivek Jain, CTO and Head of Products of housing.com and Sumeet Mathur, Senior VP and Head of Software Engineering of CA Technologies. A star-studded panel of senior leaders from ADP, JDA Software, MeraEvents and MapMyGenome completed the roster.
The engaged audience peppered the speakers and panelists with a wide range of questions ranging from experiential learning to using Agile in their personal lives.
