Turning a Magazine ‘Digital’

Engineer to Entrepreneur to Product Manager
“While shutting down my startup within 10 months, I knew I lacked in understanding and testing the product. Now, not only have I plugged that hole by honing my skills in product management, but also am interning with Zivame.”


“After moving out of manufacturing, I could have taken up a sales job in a big organisation but I would have not been satisfied with a 20-30 % growth in my life. I was ready to struggle a bit to be up-to-speed with the latest in the tech world and thus chose to upskill myself in Product Management.”


“The original plan was to join a B-School and slowly transition into Product Management over 5 years. But I have done it in less than a year and also landed myself a role in Scootsy.”


“I launched GentClub, a styling platform for men. But the venture could not attract users for the longest time. But with a relook at the product and a foolproof execution plan, my venture grew from 0 to 5000 registered users.”


“I was ready to push myself, challenge myself to be able to learn Data Analytics. I knew that would be the game-changer in my career. Be it the time required or the difficulty level, I had my mind made up to let nothing deter me.”


“Data analysts are now the most sought-after professionals by big corporations as well as startups. And companies across industries are rewarding good analysts with desirable career growth and salaries.”


“Data plays a huge role in my current organisation and for the longest time I was fascinated by how my colleagues could make impactful decisions using data. Thus I decided to invest 11 months in upskilling myself and now, I am a data-driven decision maker and this - I did without quitting my job.”


“My startup was just an idea scribbled on a piece of paper, discussed repeatedly with friends. I did not know how to break down my vision into achievable goals until I educated myself and sought help from experts. Finally after 4 years, I could launch my idea.”


“In an session with an expert from IIT Kanpur, I got insightful details of how my product could be positioned. With that I started building the current version of my product and in just 4 months, we launched our MVP with around 3000 users and our initial funding.”


“Though my full-time job was to design digital campaigns, I had little idea of how to measure the success of those campaigns. After 5 months of upskilling, my approach at designing campaigns is not only more result-oriented, I’m now working on more organic campaigns.”


“After having worked for 2.8 years, I realised that learning was the best way to grow in your career. Therefore I decided to upskill myself in Digital Marketing and in 3 months into my learning spree, I bagged a job offer with 50% salary hike.”


“When we decided to go digital with our magazine, I realised it’s more than just converting the print file into PDF. That’s when I decided to learn Digital Marketing myself. Now, with the little changes I’ve incorporated through my learnings, the readership of our magazine has gone up by 30%.”
