“Working with Meenal was an absolute game-changer for me. As someone who hadn't held a formal Product Marketing Manager (PMM) role before, I was initially uncertain about how to position my experience. Meenal's expertise and guidance helped me recognize and articulate the PMM responsibilities I had shouldered in my previous positions. She worked with me to refine my narrative,. boosting my confidence and allowing me to represent my experience well in interviews and networking conversations. Meenal's support and mentorship were instrumental in my journey towards a PMM role, and I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking to make a similar transition. Her insight and guidance made a huge difference in my career pursuits”

What are the risks of product development?
In the world of startups, success hinges on solving the right problem. Picture your entrepreneurial journey as a road trip: your vision is the destination, solutions are your vehicle, and the road itself is the problem you're solving. But before you set off, ask vital questions: Who's affected by this problem? How significant is it? Why address it now? What's the impact of solving it? Are there existing solutions, and do users care? Stay flexible, iterate as needed, and continuously gather feedback. Just like a road trip, understanding and navigating the road, or the problem, is essential for a successful entrepreneurial journey.
