My business must have been doomed but a million-dollar pivot saved it. Ever had a plan that completely fell apart? Welcome to entrepreneurship. After struggling with OOPS LABS, I moved to the US. And was it a bed of roses? No but more like a nightmare. + Slept on floors. + Barely made ends meet. + Returned to India broke. Then, COVID hit. My new venture, GrabAgile Inc, seemed doomed. But here's what 20 years in business taught me: adapt or die. So, I adapted. I pivoted to online training. Result? ✅ $6 million turnover in 3 years. Pivot to the digital world. McKinsey & Company reports that companies that quickly adapted to digital during COVID grew revenues 5x faster than peers. The lesson? ✅ Flexibility is your superpower. ✅ When the market shifts, shifts faster. Today, GrabAgile Inc has trained over 13,000 people. All because we refused to give up. Remember: In business, the only constant is change. Embrace it. Follow me for more such insights. Let’s chat about your business. DM me. #BusinessAdaptability #PivotToSuccess #EntrepreneurialMindset

🚀 Just wrapped up an enlightening session with Rishi Bhargava on mastering Product Management in the diverse landscapes of startups and large companies, as part of the Insurjo 24 by The Product Folks Here are the key takeaways: Getting Product Discovery Right: 🎯 Focus on solving widespread problems. 🚑 Uncover urgent and important customer pain points. 🎭 Build with a laser focus on a specific persona. Ruthless (But Thoughtful) Prioritization: 🚀 Develop features aligning with the product vision. 🏊♂️ Avoid 'boiling the ocean'; build small, iterate, and learn. 👂 Differentiate features requested by users vs. buyers. Listen and Ask the Right Questions: 👂 Understand the problems users want to solve. 💡 Ask about problem-solving without your product. 🤔 Challenge assumptions, especially in early-stage startups. In the dynamic world of Product Management, these insights are invaluable guides. 💡 Suhas Motwani Aditya Mohanty Rishi Bhargava #ProductManagement #StartupVsCorporate #ContinuousLearning #InnovationJourney #insurjowithTPF

What has working in Product at a startup taught me? 1) You must be decisive yet humble. There are many product decisions, big and small, that we have to make all the time. While it is important to make data-driven and timely decisions, it is crucial to be open to feedback and be ready to revise our choices. You need to be willing to be proven wrong and accept input from customers, experts, and colleagues. 2) Simple is underrated Creating a delightful experience is often more about simplifying rather than adding. Simplifying the information given, the steps taken, and the internal processes. Did you know that Instagram stories only supported live photos and videos at launch? This is because they stuck to their core product principles: “Do the simple thing first” and “Do fewer things better”. 3) You have to communicate both the big picture and the details The big picture aligns everyone on the common goal, while the specifics establish the steps needed to make it happen. I’ve also learned the importance of selectively sharing context and details based on the audience. #product #design #tech #leadership #business #startup

There's no roadmap for when you become a Head of Product or found a product-led startup, which is why it's so hard to transition. While the role shares similarities with being a product manager, the stakes are significantly higher. You still bridge the user and the business, but your focus shifts from creating user value to enhancing enterprise value alongside engineering, sales, marketing, and analytics peers. Here are five major changes you can expect: Your Focus: Shifts to achieving business outcomes by solving customer problems, not just user issues. Your Vocabulary: Moves from discussing sprints and backlogs to terms like GMV, CAC, loop performance, and LTV. How You Operate: You set and own the product strategy, integrating it into how the startup operates across all levels. It’s more about building scalable systems than achieving tactical wins. New Best Friends: Close collaboration with sales and marketing becomes essential. Decision Making: The quality and process of your decision-making are crucial. You need to build a team that supports rapid and accurate decision-making at all costs. #productmanagement #startups #growth #management
