you're making good 💰
1. What's your role like? Are you a generalist Pm, or focus on something niche?
2. How is the product culture? Top heavy or data and insight heavy?
3. What do you do to connect with tier 2/3 audience? Since you've to connect with end user before even thinking of building a feature for them.
TIA
1. I have more experience on growth side but want to have a generalist role. I have done non-growth stuff as well.
2. Data and insights are valued , NSM comes from the top such do we need to drive DAU or Retention or Revenue etc.
3. We do surveys/ interviews

Ah, new ways to look for a new job these days /s
On other note, how is share chat doing?
What companies have you PM’d across?
What was your path before becoming a PM at Sharechat?
My path was Marketing > Growth > Product . I’ve worked in InMobi before SC and another startup.

you believe in sharechat business model? dhanda kaise chal raha hain
I do. They have a solid PMF. Dhanda projections se thoda kam accha chalra hea due to slow market recovery.
Thanks for AMA, inspirational trajectory
Do you have an MBA, which tier?
And how did you switch from marketing to product?
No MBA , BTech from a tier 2 college . I got an opportunity to work on some product projects while in marketing and loved it so tried to get more. Eventually got a full time product role in another company.

Are you also being poached by the other competitors in this space? Have heard about a few names in this domain who have been hiring right off of SC to get first hand insights.
Also marketeer > PM, how did you approach the move, hands on learning only or did you take any courses to upskill yourself?

Not being poached as such. I didn’t do any formal courses , just some free ones on YouTube to have a more formal understanding of the role and lingo, I also did pm stuff while being in a business role .
Internal switch is the easiest path , try to get product responsibilities in current role.
Don’t think that is an option in a service based company, should switch to a product one first

Hows share chat doing wrt monetization endeavours with the TG? Are you optimistic on the forward looking plan?
Asking especially since SC is the posterboy for us other builders in this space.
We are well positioned and have made significant headway towards being profitable. Yes I’m optimistic.

How would you recommend a sde move to pm. Ive been thinking about doing that switch but also don't want to force it and get a bad deal.
Only move if you are really sure of it and know that you would enjoy the role. You can make better money as an SDE btw.
