You always find it tough to believe when I say anyone can become a product manager agnostic of his background !
Here we have Aditya Kulkarni, who switched from a CA to a product manager, and is currently Director of Product at Headout.
Watch him talk about his crazy Product management journey, his work experiences at Amazon, HUL, Headout and what it takes to be a product manager at top in the game in this podcast.

[Important] : Do Not Miss for Product Aspirants ❤️


Folks! After the successful completion of the second "Mastering Product Management" aka "Swag wala cohort" ❤️, I have been getting DMs for the next one in abundance.


So finally, the applications for the 3rd Batch are now open in its "new rebranded avatar".


Here is the link to apply: rethinksystems.in/


"This is a page for the community by the community."

For the best viewing experience, please check the page on DESKTOP.

From a learning point of view, the second cohort had 80 students who embarked on a journey to become better thinkers, and here are some of the statistics:

- Cohort NPS was 96+
- Instructor NPS was 100
- Mentor NPS was 82
- Guest lectures NPS was 93 (students loved the guest lectures)
- Case study NPS was 100
- Community Support NPS was 90
- Fun sessions NPS (i.e., Systems thinking, ethics) were 95

The cohort led to more than 10+ PM offers till the 6th week , one today morning too ❤️.

The cohort had 7 amazing guest speakers, 7 insane case studies, and a lot of fun.

Also, for all aspirants, we are doing a "Sneak Peek" session of how the cohort works on 23rd May 2024, 8.30 PM IST.

Ex-cohort members will be speaking about their experience, and it is better to listen from the horse's mouth.

This session is free for all aspirants and will cover all your doubts, expectations, and understanding of outcomes.

There will be a separate post for the announcement of the "Sneak Peek" session on my LinkedIn, the Rethink Systems page, and the YT channel.

### Enrollment Process:

- The point I try to emphasize is that more than enrollment, the intent is important.
- Go to the landing page, click on "Apply Now," and fill the form with your best understanding, as that is the way for us to shortlist.
- Only if you get shortlisted, the next steps will be communicated to you via email.
- If you don't get shortlisted, we will not move forward even if you are willing to enroll.
- Last time the cohort closed in 3 days, so apply quickly and seriously.




P.S: Most of your doubts will be clarified on the landing page only - so please go through it carefully.

P.P.S: We have already received more than 30+ applications since launching the link in beta and only intend to take a curated batch.


I end this by saying in the words of John Keats: "A thing of beauty is a joy forever," and this community truly is one.

See you soon on the other side and Har har Mahadev.

Yours,
Shravan bhaiya
