(Who Are We)

We are the people who look at everyday frustrations and ask, “How could this work better?”

ProdMan Club is a community of curious thinkers, problem-solvers, and builders who believe that great products begin with understanding people—not just technology. We explore the entire journey from identifying real user problems and challenging assumptions to designing, testing, launching, and improving meaningful solutions.

Through hands-on challenges, product teardowns, simulations, industry interactions, and collaborative building, we turn product management from a classroom concept into a practical craft.

We don’t just discuss products. We question them, break them down, rebuild them—and learn how to create experiences people genuinely value.

We don’t predict the future. We build what deserves to exist in it.

Seven curious minds. Pick a portrait, hold to flip it.

Four high-energy experiences designed to take you through the complete product-building journey — discover, design, validate, and showcase.

You think you're smart. The internet doesn't exist. Go.

Your team of 4 draws a company worth billions — Amazon, Bumble, Swiggy — and gets 120 minutes to rebuild it using only 1995 technology, systems, and processes. No laptops. No AI. No internet. Just paper, landlines, cash, and people who were very good at their jobs.

  • Tear a product down to the job it really does
  • Design an entire business on paper
  • Find the one thing software quietly killed — and put it back
  • Pitch it in 90 seconds to judges who will interrupt you

For the ones who don’t just use technology—they question it, reimagine it, and build what comes next. We bring together ambitious minds working at the intersection of Product, Technology, and AI. Whether you write code, design experiences, decode user behaviour, or simply have an idea you cannot stop thinking about—there’s a place for you here.

Part detective. Part strategist. Part builder. Full-time “Why?” person. Product Management—or ProdMan, as we like to call it—is the wonderfully chaotic art of figuring out what to build, why, for whom, and whether anyone will actually use it. Everything under the ProdMan umbrella:

Spot the Problem

Because “I have a cool app idea” is not user research.

Talk to users, uncover real frustrations, validate assumptions, and identify problems worth solving.

User ResearchPersonasJobs to Be DoneProblem Validation

Find the problem. Understand the human. Navigate the chaos. Build the right thing. Measure whether it worked. Then improve it—again. That’s ProdMan.
