Introduction
As a 30-year-old engineer and MBA graduate from Vadodara, Gujarat, now living in Pune with my wife, my professional journey has been marked by diverse and enriching experiences across the realms of marketing, business development, and product management. Having navigated through roles in esteemed companies like Wipro, PhonePe, and currently Vodafone Group as a Product Manager, my career has been a testament to my relentless pursuit of growth and excellence.
Enrollment Decision and Career Goals
About a year ago, I mapped out a detailed 7 to 8-year plan for my personal and professional development. It became clear that to ascend in the strategy-making and decision-making echelons, I needed to bolster my skillset with a formal education in product management. Choosing to upskill with the Professional Certification Program in Product Management in collaboration with SP Jain through Simplilearn was a strategic move. It aligned perfectly with my long-term career goal to become a product head, enabling me to deliver unparalleled value while working alongside innovative minds.
My Experience with Simplilearn
The experience with Simplilearn was nothing short of fantastic. The curriculum’s structured flow from product ideation to understanding the neuroscience behind consumer behavior offered a holistic learning journey. The faculty from SP Jain brought an unmatched level of expertise and insights from their extensive work with global companies, making every session an invaluable learning opportunity. This program wasn’t just an educational pursuit; it was an unforgettable experience that I hope to extend by meeting some of the faculty members in person someday.
