While Product Management in Tech is a highly sought after function today, transitioning to Product Management without prior experience can be daunting. In this discussion, we talk to Anubhav Mangal, a Product Manager with AWS, Amazon, on how he switched from a role in Corporate Strategy at Cisco to Product Management at Amazon.

Anubhav has an undergrad in Metallurgical Engineering from IIT Bombay, and MBA from Chicago Booth. He was a consultant with McKinsey for a few years before joining Cisco.

Things we cover:

Why he decided to transition to Product ManagementExamples of challenges he faced when recruiting How he overcame these challengesHis advice for candidates who're interested in Product Management

Excerpt: "Getting my resume shortlisted without prior product management experience was definitely the biggest challenge. I definitely leaned into my Booth and McKinsey network to help me make connections. And even if you cannot find someone who can refer you, do not hesitate from cold mailing people on LinkedIn."
