Industry Connect      

The Wins, Failures, and Lessons Behind Every Product

13 June 2026 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM | CMRIT Campus , Marathahalli, Bengaluru

The success of a product is rarely determined by a single breakthrough idea. More often, it is shaped by a series of decisions, trade-offs, failures, and course corrections made along the way. In a world where customer expectations evolve rapidly and market conditions change constantly, product leaders must learn to navigate ambiguity, make decisions with incomplete information, and continuously adapt their strategies to create meaningful outcomes.

Join us for an engaging Industry Connect session with Ashwani Panwar, Head of Product at Jio, as we explore “The Wins, Failures, and Lessons Behind Every Product.” Drawing from his experience leading products across healthcare, digital identity, EV infrastructure, mobility platforms, and large-scale digital ecosystems, Ashwani will share real-world insights from building products that have served millions of users while operating in complex, high-growth environments.

In this thought-provoking conversation, he will unpack the factors that often determine why some products succeed while others struggle, the lessons that emerge from real product challenges, and the practical realities of making product decisions under uncertainty. The session will provide experienced professionals with valuable perspectives on product judgment, execution, and leadership offering a behind-the-scenes look at the experiences that shape successful product careers and enduring products.

Key Takeaways Of the Session:

  • What makes products succeed or fail
  • Lessons learned from real product challenges
  • Making better decisions with limited information
