According to Prof Raghu Reddy, Head of the PDM program, “Modern day engineers tend to be technology- and algorithm-centric and it’s very rare to find people who actually understand customers.
On the other hand, product managers focus more on product markets, strategies but seem to focus little on the underlying technologies, product design, and their ability to interface with product developers as well as customers.
This program has a nice balance of technology, design and management with specific focus on ICT products to start with.”
Application deadline November 10, for more details are available at https://pdm.iiit.ac.in. Website: www.iiit.ac.in (Hydnow)
