LinkedIn has the power to change career trajectory completely.
Had and amazing discussion this weekend with Shravan, around Product Management, Life in J&K, Getting into IIT and how as a creator he has been able to make a massive impact on the society.
He has helped more than 200 professionals become Product Managers with his content
While it’s quite a power packed podcast and would recommend anyone aspiring for a PM Role of a Creator role to watch it.
The 3 solid takeaways from our discussion being:
1. Have a larger than life goal for yourself
2. Be curious, fearless and keep asking questions
3. If you give X amount back to society it would give you 10X back
Shravan is an inspiration for so many of us, glad we had this chat.
