Shyam Santhanam’s Post

Early on in my PM career, I was fortunate to embrace becoming choice-less that gave me the permission to not think about anything other than the problem on hand. Being extremely mission oriented on the problem space helped me develop clarity and my own insights about the problem. This is an effective method to get into any new space you want to solve for.

Here is my next episode where I delve into my journey to my first product role, highlighting a pivotal moment that shifted me from a software user to a creator. https://lnkd.in/gpyNvy2q #ProductManagement #CareerJourney

This is a great learning opportunity for folks who want to sharpen their PM skills. I like the focus on ‘skill building’ around making ‘product decisions’. This covers the ‘instinct skills’ of a product manager . Masterfully designed by Shreyas Doshi

Your career is your first product. Be intentional about it. I am sharing a few stories from my Product Management Journey. As I reflect on this experience, I have identified several subtopics that I am excited to explore further. Check it out and share your feedback. #ProductManagement #CareerDevelopment https://lnkd.in/gMmpeacz

Over last couple of years, the leadership learning paradigm has been changing to include the YT channels and podcasts. I have found Shreyas’s content very insightful for navigating every day life of a product management leader as well as take along term view of PM skills and recognize the need to augment those. Highly recommended series. Also don’t miss his X subscription tweets.

Thanks Lenny Rachitsky for beginning this India Product Leaders series. Congratulations Anuj Rathi for being the first guest and thank you for a power packed insights about product management evolution in India. I look forward to many more product stories and frameworks from the Indian Product Community. This podcast also took me down my memory lane to the product scene in India in early 2000s. I was very fortunate to be part of a venture funded (Carlyle and Intel) product company RiteChoice, who built middle and back office software for Stockbrokers. At that time it was an exciting phase for Indian capital markets. Trading & settlement was transforming from T+7 to T+1. Futures and Options made the entry challenging Badla/ALBM. Founder and CEO Mr. Rangarajan and the Co-Founder Mr. Rajakumar were visionaries in many ways. The decade of 90s was dominated by them and they adopted internet/client server in 2000s. Mr Rangarajan built a team called 'Domain Experts', in which i was part of, who lived the stock broker's life , learnt the capital market, did pre-sales and ofcourse wrote product designs, testing, documentation. An IIM research paper on Indian Software Industry picks 6 products that were popular around 2000 and we were one of them. BANCS2000 (Infosys), Marshal ERP (Ramco), EX Accounting (TCS), InPage Multi Language Publishing (Concept Software), MakeESS ERP (Eastern Software Systems), Spectrum Broking ERP (RiteChoice) . It talks about RiteChoice development practice "A major feature of product development at RiteChoice has been the intense academic study of the broking process to gain domain knowledge before initiating product development. A concept paper incorporating state-of-the-art best practices in the area formed the basic user knowledge used for product design and coding. Experts vetted the proposed product design before actual product engineering took place." It is great to see the notion of 'Full stack PM' that Anuj spoke about was in full force at Ritechoice as 'Domain experts' team. Truly grateful for that opportunity. The seed of product person in me was sown by Mr. Rangarajan & RiteChoice. I am excited for what's in store for India Product scene in next decade!

Experiencing the reunion with my friend after 18 years was incredible. We simply picked up our conversation where we left off, embarking on a nostalgic journey from 2005 at Oracle, Hyderabad to our present at Oracle, Redwood Shores. Reflecting on the imprints we've left along the way was profoundly satisfying. We spoke with the same intensity and passion to solving problems through product.. Grateful for my humble and caring buddy, Vijay Ramamurthy.

Three days of exhilarating, stimulating and deeply satisfying discussions at the #Oraclecloudworld2023 . Customer empathy and feedback at the core of 20+ 1-on-1 customer discussions that I had. Wonderful to hear all the success stories and their plans to make the next big leap in their transformation journey leveraging Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP. A profound learning experience that was both fulfilling and exceptionally productive.   To top it off, the learning session I partnered with Sundar Narayanan where we spoke about Fusion Accounting Hub(FAH) offering's huge impact on finance automation, analytics and finance business partnership was a great one! We had a big attendance filled with curiosity of learning about how FAH fits into their innovation and transformation journeys. We could see many excited faces when they saw the opportunity to automate, save cost, unlock value and most importantly how it shifts their finance team's engagement from operations to decision support. From Marketplaces, Fintechs , Retail, Healthcare to Large Financial Services institutions, we have all of finance and accounting functions covered by our flagship ERP and EPM applications.
