Future of PMing in India

With the recent influx of talent who are trying to enter the world of PMing just because they overheard that PMs are CEO of the product, and they get paid really well, the bar throughout the industry is decreasing.

While we need more PMs, I feel most of the 2-3yoe PMs i'm meeting either for interview or guidance are more like COGS in the wheel. They are doing more and more of Program Management. Any PM at any level should spend atleast 10-20% of their time thinking about product vision, and how will the world look like if their product succeeds in 1y).

We need folks like Anuj, and other senior veterans, to come up and train the middle management of most of the companies to really improve PMing as a function in India

Do you think managing program isn’t significant?

Though I appreciate your overall concern, but somehow it’s coming out as you’re painting everyone with the same brush. Let me know if that’s not correct

The program managers I've worked with have delivered insanely more impact than any PM I've seen.

So it’s the nomenclature issue, doing program management shouldn’t be looked down.

P.S. - Do you have program managers in the same company?

Good team of product managers who are in sync with the program managers is what leadership teams are dying for .
