Program ROI
Acceleration
India has thousands of engineering graduates and 20,000 new ones are added every year (just counting IITs). There were 2.8 Million IT/ITES professionals according to NASSCOM estimates in 2012. How do you differentiate and move up? (Hint: Years in service can't be the answer!)
Getting promoted faster has a compounding effect on wealth generation (not to mention job satisfaction!)
Institute of Product Leadership programs are relevant and designed for career path acceleration specifically in the product industry.
Entrepreneurship
We have witnessed several products from India crossing the reputed 1 Billion USD valuations, something that was a distant dream 10 years ago. Anyone with the right passion can become an entrepreneur, but it requires a mix of experiential skillsets, active mentoring, and coaching that could allow individuals to pave the way for their entrepreneurial journey. We are on a mission to create a breed of leaders and entrepreneurs that can push boundaries of status quo and touch new ceilings.
Alternatives Analysis
Average fulltime MBA from a Tier 1 school in India costs 11 Lakhs (as high as 28 lakhs). Add to that your foregoing of working salary for 1 year ( in some cases two!) and that too just to bring only 20% of workplace relevance from what you learned!
For working professionals who want to turbo charge their career path without losing work experience time, it might make little sense to go for fulltime option (not to mention the peer group that you will network/interact with!)
Growth Rate
It has been proven time and time again that product leaders who are successful initially move up the chain much faster compared to others.
So essentially the rate with which you continue to grow is much higher for product leaders compared to those who will follow the traditional growth path (more time and seniority based!)

Network Effect
Even though its hard to quantify directly, “who” you know is equally important in the product industry as “what” you know.
Whether it's building executive team or search for startup cofounders, a complete product professional will always be preferred.
