Many candidates struggle in Product Management interviews—not due to a lack of capability, but because they don’t fully understand what interviewers are actually assessing. In this episode of FUTURE FORWARD, we unpack the most common Product Management interview questions and explain how they are used to evaluate product thinking, problem-solving ability, and decision-making skills.

Hosted by Abhishek Srivastava, Founder & CEO of Techcanvass, this discussion features Roopa Krishnamoorthi, Operations & Product Leader, and Abhilasha Pandey, Program & Product Management Leader. Together, they share how interviewers assess product thinking beyond surface-level or rehearsed responses.

Product Management interviews are designed to test strategic thinking and a candidate’s approach to solving complex user and business problems. Success requires clarity in product sense, structured problem-solving, and strong behavioural responses—and that’s exactly what this episode breaks down.

Going beyond standard interview frameworks, the conversation highlights why jumping straight to solutions can be a red flag, and why problem-first thinking, adaptability, and versatility matter far more than polished answers.
