The role of product managers is evolving fast. I sat down with Saurabh Agarwal (VP Product Management - JioHotstar, ex-Google and LinkedIn) to decode what’s changing and what will not in the field of product management in the next few years. It was exciting to interact about his decade plus learnings on building products for 500 million+ Indians that most of us use daily along with uncovering how they came up with the ideation of the much revered Max-view feature in Hot-star, that went from idea to launch just in 6 weeks, as first ever vertical content consumption for live sports globally! Not just that, we covered the following elements in the conversation ✅ Engineer → PM → org-builder: how the scope and stakes grow ✅ Judgment vs data: when to trust instincts over dashboards ✅ The MaxView story: from insight → prototype → launch in ~6 weeks ✅ Product trade-offs at true billion+ internet scale ✅ Designing for India’s Next Half Billion (NHB) users ✅ Where AI is actually reshaping PM & design ✅ Why simplicity beats cleverness in execution He also dropped a bunch of timeless nuggets on velocity, taste, and building for constraints. Thanks to Rati and team at Product x People for the invite. Link to the full conversation in comments. #productmanagement

The H-1B lottery may never be the same. DHS is rolling out a proposal that could flip the system on its head by FY2026. And it could completely reshape the system by FY2026. Here is the big shift: Weighted wage selection. Every H-1B role is tied to one of 4 wage levels (based on the job code + geography). → Level I = 17th percentile wage (1 ticket in the lottery) → Level II = 34th percentile wage (2 tickets) → Level III = 50th percentile wage (3 tickets) → Level IV = 67th percentile wage (4 tickets) Higher wage level = higher odds of selection. On paper, this is fair play. In practice, the consequences cut in many directions. Who loses: → International new grads. Schools with heavy MS/MEng enrollment could take a major hit. → Startups. Equity does not count toward wage levels. What this really means: The system will reward companies that can pay more in actual terms. It will punish international students starting. And it will put new pressure on mid-career Americans as higher-paid H-1Bs enter the market. This NPRM has a 60% chance of being in effect by FY2026. The H-1B landscape is about to shift. The real question: Is weighted wage selection fixing the problem or creating new ones? ➡ Stay updated on significant legal and policy changes like this.

Wanted to share this story from the team at Entri... It’s an example of what gets my team so energized. As an alumni of the Google for Startups Accelerator, Entri built their Android app to tackle helping 400 million people in India boost their employability by overcoming language barriers. They integrated Gemini to create an AI Teaching Assistant and Interview Coach, delivering specialized learning in local languages. Entri saw a 20% jump in user retention. That shows what’s possible when building a user-focused experience on Android. ➡️ Full story: https://lnkd.in/gnKVSMGi ➡️ Google for Startups Accelerator in India: https://lnkd.in/gpZeMpwr

A book is an introvert’s favorite friend and also the main source of their learning. Here are two of my all time bests: Outsiders ( Will Thorndike) - As they say, the CEO’s main job is to allocate capital (and bandwidth when there is no excess capital). Contrary to popular belief, bombastic and charismatic CEOs like Jack Welch of GE are not history’s best business leaders. Just as in cricket, the quiet champions let their bat (and ball) do the talking, in business, the greatest CEOs let their capital (and resource allocation) do the talking. Will Thorndike (also hosts probably the best podcast on business - 50X) tells us the stories of 8 such incredible CEOs and their exploits in this book. An absolute gold mine. The Hard Thing About Hard Things (Ben Horowitz) - This is probably the exact opposite of the above book in terms of scope and lessons. It talks about what it means to be a founder, when you have no capital, no nothing, and you set out to do something from absolute scratch. Anyone who has founded a company knows that the headlines are misleading. Only they know how close they are to demise all the time in spite of all the blood, sweat, hate, fear, nightmares, turmoil while trying to be upbeat and inspirational (it’s the biggest irony of entrepreneurship). They don’t count the hours and think about work-life balance ( what would you call taking a shower while constantly thinking about how to make next month’s payroll or some other impossible problem - work? life?). The truth is, if you imagine the worst possible situation a founder goes through, you would still be underestimating the founder's struggle. This book is for these founders, relatable and inspiring, scary and motivating at the same time. While we are on the subject, let me throw in a couple of terrific podcasts as well, for inspiration, reflection, and connecting the dots: https://lnkd.in/dXjhwm78 https://lnkd.in/dTScMn2k At Rebel, some of us learn through reading, and here is a list of books recommended by Rebels https://lnkd.in/dgbVjaPT
