Leaders speak
Haragopal Mangipudi
Global Board Member, ISPMA
Former Head, Infosys Finacle
“Some 15-30 years back, it was said every board should have a chartered accountant from a risk perspective. Now, you need a digital product manager on every board, because they have a digital manifestation and engagement with customers.”
Hans-Bernd Kittlaus Chairman, ISPMA (International Software Product Management Association
“The software product management (SPM) role is pretty well established in software organisations. The role is now getting established in more and more industries. They are realising that software is becoming the no. 1 value driver in their products.”
Spurthy Dharanikota Assistant Professor, Information Systems, IIM Bangalore
“Recently, I asked my PGP students what they are looking for in placements, almost 70% said product management. It’s the highest paying job, almost. Data science has been called the sexiest job of the 21st century, but I think it’s being slowly replaced by product management.”
