Absolutely incredible content! I had a bias before watching this video, as I held this perception for the past 6 years. It led me to believe that the video's content might not be relevant for today. However, you've shown me that I was completely mistaken. Thank you for condensing everything from the ground up into a concise 15 minutes.
Thank you so much for the detailed and informative session.. What I really loved is you stressing out what will work and more importantly what will not. Thanks again! Loved It.
2 years and still no reply, would like to know how did it go. Also, how different or similar was it to this interview. It would really help other candidates who will be applying so PM roles.
@@ck5593 I didn't get the job. I don't even remember what the job was at this point, actually 😁 I couldn't tell you how close to this video the interview was. I instead have pursued a career in Project Management instead of Product Management. Have a great life!
Product Protege sir what questions might be asked in the interview for product management trainee.. can you please help me? I'm a b.tech fresher and I don't have any idea about this field.
@@upGrad_edu Indeed! Good humans like should be much appreciated. You help many not only in getting through the interview but also in building confidence. 🙌
Wow great I thought of pursuing PM course in your site but the cost is bit high, I think you need to refine your user research on affordability in India :p .
so,in market sizing questions,can i also categorize the user based on usage...say 20 percent use it every day and 80 percent use it once in 3 days and 10 percent use it once a week....so the no of units of fairness cream the various user segment buys will vary and hence the final market size ? My question is ,will my ability to segment the problem in different ways benefit me in any way or I do not have to complicate and use average usage instead?
You can, but I they're just testing to see how you think. If you can go deeper and not get lost in details, go ahead. But it's safer to use simpler breakdowns and stating your assumptions for this exercise. You can state caveats such as some users will use less and some will use more, but this is an average. As this isn't an accounting exercise, I don't think you'll get many more points for going deeper.
For fairness cream, here is my solution, gather data how many Men are in schools, colleges, private and public sector companies. Gather existing products details and do research with this data..will get excellent out come for the new product..
On the analytical question, it may make a good interview answer but the real way to figure out is how much is the existing offerings making. So you will figure out how much is being spent by consumers on fairness creams currently! Sum up the market cap of current players in the market and that's the size of the market.
@@lyrana it was so awesome, I faced a panel of 3 interviewers very friendly,,,questions included telling them about myself, projects I have handled before, case studies(had to do some math), a time I was faced by two project deadlines and how I handled both, and at the end was asked about my salary expectations and they said they would get in touch in 24 hrs (yesterday, 26th March 2019) and up to now 27th they haven't and I feel bad now probably I didn't answer the questions well or maybe I quoted a high salary expectation or I wasn't well dressed and I feel like a loser now...sad
@@ianmuriithi9370 That's great! No need to read into why they haven't contacted you back, it's very common for companies to take longer than expected. I would say if you do have an email address you can send just ONE follow-up saying thanks for their time and that you're looking forward to their response. Suppose they do end up going with someone else--it'd be great to then ask for feedback on how you can improve, and just keep interviewing. Right now that's your job--to get and do as many interviews as possible. There is absolutely NO reason at all for you to feel like a loser. None. Zero. First of all those things you listed that you made up--you don't know if they're true or not. Salary is always a negotiation they expect people to say something high and then negotiate. Secondly, suppose there is a reason they go with someone else--okay, no worries, there are other companies. The most important thing is to learn and grow and don't let a negative thought pattern stop you. Def don't spend any time at all thinking you're a loser, just go apply for other jobs and keep networking and listening to podcasts and doing good work and being inspired and hopeful!
@@lyrana thank you so much for the advice, I will be sure to follow everything you've told me and definitely will share the feedback I get from the company when they do get back. Again, thank you so much.
What is? I still dont know exacly what they do, and how much they do. Everybody is talking about IT PM`s, but nobody is talking about PMs for "normal" merchandise.

@upgrad I just found out about product manager Im about to graduate with a technical degree this year. I was wondering in order to be a product manager would I have to go to Bussiness school?
I believe a product manager should also know the social impact of what they’re designing to sell. The speaker’s ability to talk through men’s fairness cream, as an example, effectively showcases the absence of social responsibility. Bad education. If we do decide to go down the path of making anything to make money, then things like “DIY pimp” app could be great idea. Men could advertise women in their families and earn good income, for a small membership fee.
Out of all states in India some of the states never want to use fairness cream like J&k , Himachal Pradesh etc. So you can consider demographic divide of population.

@@KevinRK29 So technically Engineers and Designers do not directly report to Product Managers, but they work and follow what Product Managers tell them to create. Maybe indirect reporting. Engineers and Designers have their own managers (Project Managers) where as technically Product Managers are (and should be) more concerned about Product then People. And reporting hierarchy does not really matter to such people who wish to create great products. I hope this helps. Any more queries, shoot me an another message.
@@-Floydimus Ohh I see, also Google has a position called Technical Program Manager, I wanted to know what was the difference between that and product manager and project manager.
@@KevinRK29 So basically what I understand from Technical Product Manager is someone who comes from a tech background like developer or QA and interacts with development team (engineers and designers to build the product). More of an Inbound Product Manager. Whereas Outbound Product Managers interact with client, perform market research, step out of the building an face the world. Difference between Project and Product Manager is quite straight forward. Project Manager manages people. They possess very limited knowledge about product, market, domain, and everything around. They are more concerned about budgeting for resources, managing leaves, arranging for replacement when somebody quits, reporting, work allocation, dispute resolution between two employees, client brown nosing, et cetera. Product Managers don't care much for the drama. They get shit done. They know domain, market, product, customers, product strategy, road map, coming up with ideas to build, understanding the business requirements and needs et cetera.
just reverse of tanning for some brownies of South asia who dont like their skin.In nutshell a product(Cream) coupled with a marketing gimmick with promises of turning all brownies in to brad pitt.
Actually for the fairness cream problem, I would consider an age range of only 20 and above. 0 to 20 are not men only boys and won't usually even consider using fairness cream,
