Ask Me Anything : The Decisions, The Lessons & The Things Nobody Tells You About Building Product

30 May 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM | CMRIT Campus , Marathahalli, Bengaluru


The journey of building successful products is often shaped by decisions, failures, pivots, and lessons that rarely get spoken about openly. Behind every strong product leader is a series of experiences that go far beyond frameworks, roadmaps, and product execution. In today’s rapidly evolving digital and consumer-tech landscape, product professionals are increasingly expected to think beyond features - balancing customer obsession, business impact, innovation, and scale while navigating constant change and ambiguity.

Join us for an engaging AMA-style Industry Connect session with Sandeep Kumar, Head of Product & Solutions at Bosch Global Software Technologies, as we explore “The Decisions, The Lessons & The Things Nobody Tells You About Building Product.” Drawing from his extensive experience across AI, transportation, energy, industrial technology, and digital transformation, Sandeep will share candid insights into the real moments that shaped his journey as a product leader - from building enterprise-grade AI platforms to leading innovation across mission-critical industries.

In this highly interactive conversation, participants will gain an unfiltered perspective on product leadership, scaling technology-driven solutions, navigating ambiguity, and building products that solve complex real-world problems at scale. Through pre-collected AMA questions from the cohort, the session will uncover practical lessons, leadership insights, and real-world experiences for professionals aspiring to grow into impactful product leaders in technology-driven organizations.

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn the lessons product leaders wish they had known earlier in their careers - beyond frameworks, roadmaps, and theory
  • Get practical perspectives on building products, leading teams, and growing in high-growth consumer tech environments
  • Gain practical leadership insights on ownership, customer obsession, adaptability, and long-term product success through candid career lessons and real-world AMA conversations with an experienced product leader
