I had the privilege of learning product management under Sheshakanth — as his student and while working alongside him professionally. His depth of experience, including his time as a senior member of the product team at ServiceNow, shows in how he balances strategic vision with hands-on execution. He's exceptionally well-versed in delivering AI products for large organizations, and his entrepreneurial capabilities are impressive — two companies built from the ground up. What stood out most was his ability to translate complex enterprise requirements into clear, actionable roadmaps, and a mentorship style that pushes you to think critically rather than follow a playbook.
AI Strategy · Product Leadership · Education · Agentic AI
We advise, we lead, we teach — and we build agentic AI ourselves.
AI strategy that boards fund and enterprises ship. Product leadership that agentic-AI startups can put in the room on day one. Education that business schools build curricula around — every engagement grounded in the agentic AI product we're building in-house.

I had the opportunity to work with Shesh at Serviceaide, where his strategic thinking and deep product expertise consistently stood out. Working alongside him gave me firsthand insight into the depth of thought, product discipline, and clarity he brings to every decision. He has an exceptional ability to build and deliver enterprise AI solutions, balancing business objectives with practical execution. His thorough approach, attention to detail, and ability to simplify complex problems into scalable product solutions make him an outstanding product leader. Anyone looking to build impactful AI solutions or grow as an AI Product Manager would benefit immensely from working with him.
A decade before I became a Product Manager, Shesh was already teaching me how to think like one. That early foundation still shapes how I approach product strategy today. He's not just a great PM himself — having shipped Generative AI products at ServiceNow and built a health-tech venture from scratch — he's someone who can translate that experience into lessons early-career PMs can actually use. We've stayed in touch ever since, still trading notes on product challenges and industry trends, and I'm glad more people will now get access to that same coaching.
I had a great learning experience with Shesh's Product Management program. The curriculum was well structured and covered the complete product lifecycle—from customer discovery and product strategy to roadmapping, Agile, Scrum, product metrics, product design, and product launches. I particularly appreciated the inclusion of AI for Product Managers, which made the program relevant to today's rapidly evolving product landscape. What made the program especially valuable was its practical approach. The live instructor-led sessions, real-world case studies, mock interviews, resume reviews, and career guidance helped bridge the gap between theory and industry expectations. Shesh explained concepts clearly, encouraged interactive discussions, and provided actionable feedback throughout the program. As someone with an engineering background, this program broadened my understanding of product thinking, customer-centric decision-making, stakeholder management, and data-driven product development. It gave me a strong foundation in modern product management practices and increased my confidence in applying these concepts to real-world products. I would highly recommend this program to professionals looking to transition into product management or strengthen their existing product management skills. It offers an excellent balance of strategic concepts, practical frameworks, and career support.
