Madan Chander on outside-in thinking for Product Managers


Listen Later

Madan Chander, Delivery Head at Tech Mahindra has mentored hundreds of people who are willing to transition into a product role. According to him, anybody can become a Product Manager IF:


  1. They are customer-obsessed and have empathy
  2. They think problems from the outside in, not inside out

  3. Inside-out -> you think of what you have (ideas, experience) and how you can use that to gain a market, create a product, and sell it.


    Outside-in -> you think of the underserved need, and then you look at the problem statement, and define it clearly. You use a problem-solving method called the 5 Whys.



    P.S. 

    Madan’s goal is to make people excited about Product Management for the right reasons. And I felt that when I spoke to him :)
