How did how did you get here and where we were today? So I came to this country, was ultimately 20 times the radio. Um, I got my formal education and, uh, undergrad investors in accounting and, uh, and minor in computer systems. So what happened was developed interest off of started programming and learn about your system. And that's I'd like to me and working for, ah, a couple of company and doing some programming. And there was a company which was said, Hey, you know, we'll train you and we'll send you to the U. S. And and which opportunities Basically like a body shopping model. I'm not sure if you're familiar with that. Essentially it. You know, people are working with consulting companies in the U. S. Consultant to various clients, and that's how I came out from Bombay, India, and I went to New York, lets you as a parent company was, uh it had claimed the earlier the sister sister company in the earlier in, uh in Bombay when I came here and then I photo well, refine my skills and handsome further and from their own. I was helping customers solve the problem. So What's my story? My my real story is I really believe in automation. I really believe in taking annual tests and making out making people like you hear amazing people happier. Um, so I did my undergrad and a Z. I said accounting. And then I then I e moved on to Arizona. I really work for 16 years. I worked for a start up as a consultant as well. You know, we'll start up. We went from treatable 2040 people. You know, we're going to companies of Intel, the company which makes black microprocessors. And, uh, And then that's where I pursued a master's in technology management and, uh, flat and went to the area to be closer to my family as well as also having other opportunities in the tech space more than divided into you product management. And then, uh, I did spend a couple of companies here and learned a lot about, uh, my address were moved from suffer development into technology management and more into the project program, and then finally under the product management space. And I did. There's goods, and now I'm here working for a high tech company couch space, uh, your finger part of China

or so sound like key decision. Their responsibilities is for me to identify what the product is gonna look like or the service is gonna look like from a customer's perspective, uh, to develop the strategy based on customers input, working with customers and the decisions are no how how this product is going to shave for the road map is going to be. What kind of impact is gonna have to my customers and industries were using the product on, um, responsibilities are to make sure the the product is well accepted. It's well adopted and and overall from a business perspective, that our business goals are met Children. From a revenue perspective, I'm customers often perspective. What are the top three priorities and pain points deducted Priorities. Eyes number one B customer. I love it. Customer facing and be It was TV obsessed about the customer. Uh, second list of make sure you are triangulating your very expect. How many of you make a decision on very product needs to be based on your market research, no competition and the business, and then you're your own, a sense off products and off where they should be going. Um the third is characterization is extremely important in this in this field. But you have requests coming from multiple planets and which one you choose and how you Children, What technology? All the top ways. And that answer to the question is actually an answer as well. One of the priorities is to do prioritization so and the pain points of quality ones are, or my career has been mostly being listening to your customer and writing or write yourself about whatever you think. Write it out. It helps you because you can see the reflection off what you're thinking. You can share with others and right as much detail as you can. And that was one of the main point for me. Uh, the other has Bean. You know how to travelers in a big company. Corporate companies. How to connect your voice with your end customer there. Sometimes there many layers in between. Uh, so the key is to manager right. Sometimes you feel like management is not, You know, my immediate manager is not probably giving the baby the accessory visibility. Well, one level skip level managed up, and it's fine eso then, and there were some of the strategies. I have dealt with these challenges, Manager. Well, be open and be frank. About what? You don't dance from the bush too much. Don't try to be too much power pointing and too much monkey around. Get to the facts, dear Richard, and support your factor data.

so typically, uh, what I mean, in my control, you don't need any kind of fancy suffer, uh, things. But I think what is important is for you to communication. Toe is extremely important the way you express. And there's a written communication and talking and having that knowledge and speaking to it is very important. Your frameworks. Or, for example, you should have, uh, privatization for you, Uh, cask ABC TV or the feature in B, C and D. And these are against what priorities are the business priority is that the market priority is okay. Customer driven priority at any point in time, here, in doubt or on the side of the customer, always always algorithms languages. In my case, you know, have a soft background. Searches help for me to you. Uh um, that stuff about I'm like understanding SQL structured query language is I've been, uh, special dot net develops offer applications. So I think it has actually helped me a lot. And models essentially that a lot of models which she could dio I mean, I could talk. We could go down to the level of machine learning and a grandson analytics. Those kind of model. But here there are other models like, No, we're gonna talk about privatization model. That's actually and no, uh, product manager there. Nano models way. If you put two and say they turn the customer feature, how much is the most satisfying? How much is the satisfaction? And there is a circles framework, very comprehend the user than the new prioritize er stands for various acronyms and how you determine in evaluative criteria and then give a solutions because, er feel yes, um, in Google it, um and that's what I typically use. And very, very important toe those you know, go back to priority and customers.
