Course overview

🎯 Craft the Stories That Get You Hired

Behavioral questions make up nearly 50% of PM interviews—and they’re often the difference between being a good candidate and getting the offer.


Yet most candidates:

❌ Stop at surface-level STAR responses

❌ Miss the depth and strategic insight that interviewers seek

❌ Struggle with follow-up questions


This course changes that.


In 4 live sessions in 2 weeks, you'll get:

✅ Proven frameworks to craft compelling, structured stories

✅ Personalized expert feedback on your responses

✅ A complete, ready-to-use story bank (upto 6 stories) for interviews, resumes, and applications

✅ A 1:1 coaching session ($100 value) redeemable within 12 months (mock interview or tailored support)


Whether you're targeting FAANG, high-growth startups, or your first PM role, this course equips you to nail Every Behavioral Question with clarity and confidence.


All sessions are recorded for you to revisit anytime.

Our alumni come from Google, Amazon, Salesforce, Walmart, and many other leading startups and tech companies.


"Tremendously helped during my Amazon interview that I finally cleared with ease" - Sumeet Bhatia, Sr Product Manager at Amazon


"Perfect for anyone looking to transition to a PM role" - Mathari Ramaswamy, Product Manager at Point Pickup


The bottom line: If you're serious about landing your target PM role and willing to put in the work (expect to spend about 8 hours over 2 weeks) to craft compelling stories that showcase your unique value, this course will transform how you interview.


The cohort size is small for quality and personalized guidance

        I took mentoring from Shambhavi for Amazon Leadership principles stories. She took deep interest in understanding my scenarios and refining my answers against the LP based questions. The mentoring eventually helped me in converting the TPM role at Google. I thank you for playing a critical role in making this transition.

        She’s an amazing person, super knowledgeable, experienced and kind. She’ll go out of her way to help —it could be providing feedback on how I should answer interview questions, to feedback on behavioral stories, to product design components and to random product management questions. She’s started a great platform and I hope many people get into PM

        I got an opportunity to have several sessions for my resume and behavioral stories. I got very relevant and focused suggestions customized for my aspirational job based on my past experiences.
