A framework for PM skill development | Vikrama Dhiman (Gojek)

Your name has come up more times than almost any other product person when I ask people for their favorite product leaders in Asia. I created a career growth framework for product managers, which comprises of three things. What you produce. What you bring to the table and what's your operating model. Your advice is earlier in your career focus on just getting stuff out and done. Can you show me your last PRD? Can you show me the last product note that you sent? Can you show me the product strategy talk. You must have that impact through the artifacts that you work on. I'm curious what you found most impedes people's career growth. How you view change, whether you're focusing on things you control, and third is how you see yourself. The moment you are able to correct those stories, you may be back on the back. Today my guest is Vikrama Demon. Vikrama heads all things product that go joke.

Including product management, design, program management, research and insights. with teams across India, Singapore, and Indonesia. He has previously worked at companies like Directee, Airtel, Make My Trip, and Wiz IQ. And is among the most well known product leaders in Asia. When I ask people who their favorite product leader is in Asia, Vikramma's name has come up almost more than anyone else's.

We chat about how to move into product management, how to be a great product manager, how product managers often shoot themselves in the foot, and so much more.
