Learners' Speak
Ms. Meenakshi Vaid
“The immersion programme was well-managed– a perfect blend of structured learning and hands-on collaboration. Allocating dedicated team time for the BYOP (Build Your Own Product) challenge was particularly valuable, allowing for rich peer-to-peer innovation. Every detail, from curriculum delivery to logistics, was executed with impressive precision.”
Ms Shivangi Sagar
“The entire experience was truly life-changing—insightful, enriching, and filled with meaningful knowledge sharing. The three-day immersion exceeded all expectations. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from the engaging, interactive classes to the excellent accommodation and food. The beautiful IIT campus added to the charm, but the true highlight was our mentors. Their dedication, passion, and unmatched energy brought the course to life. The portfolio-building sessions were a personal favourite—clearing all my doubts about where and how to build a compelling PM portfolio. I’ve returned from immersion focused, confident, and ready to step into the world of product management with clarity and purpose.”
Mr. Gaurav Kumar
“The three-day immersion was incredibly impactful—it brought together months of learning in the most meaningful way. One-on-one interactions with faculty offered profound insights, and examples like Carbon and Hamam pushed us to think beyond the obvious. The meticulous care—from providing medicines to accommodating fasting participants—made it feel like more than a programme; it felt like family. Group assignments kept us actively engaged, and the diverse faculty interactions enriched our understanding of different perspectives. Many of us truly miss those days and wish we could relive them.”
