What I really liked about the whole Upraised process, right from the KYS test to Learning Journey to Mock Interviews & everything in between, was that it helped me shape my thinking as a Product Manager. And when that happened it became quite easy to land a product role.

Career transitions can be hard to navigate. Given my non-technical background, Upraised helped me immensely in structuring my preparation for a PM role with the help of well-curated content, comprehensive assignments, and rigorous interview prep. This not only helped me cover my (technical) blind spots, but also exposed me to the practical challenges faced by Product Managers, and the tools to tackle them.

Just heard glowing reviews about the team @getupraised and @monagandhi ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿš€

Some incredible work happening here without the unnecessary noise ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Skills > Certificates

And its great to see folks at @StoaHQ @getupraised and many more enabling this.

My experience with Upraised was quite good. They take care of the entire process beginning from knowing your current understanding, to enhancing your skills by guiding you with PM fundamentals, to helping you with the interview process.

Looking for UX internships? @getupraised has something for you! The process is simple -- Appear for a test (& qualify it), get trained by experts & get assured internships. Yes, they are ensuring internships! For more details, reach out to @monagandhi upraised.co/embINCTW

Despite a Non-MBA, non-engineering background, Upraised was able to get me placed by working on my blind spots and polishing up my key strengths. From optimizing my CV as per the prospective employer to real world PM exercises, Upraised made sure that I wouldnโ€™t be behind any other candidate. The fact that I got placed with more than 2X hike speaks volumes about the strength of the programme.

A true example of value for money! The program is well-curated and is a complete package starting from understanding your expectations, to a customized learning journey, to a well-formatted mockup interview preparation. I would strongly recommend Upraised to not only aspiring PMs but also to the existing PMs who are looking for a job change.

An #internship is an excellent learning curve for graduates & students while meeting new people and making connections in the professional world I benefited a lot through them early in my career. It helped me learn more about myself. Great initiative @monagandhi @getupraised.

Gave @getupraised',s Embark ESAT today.

If this scales, college internships in India would no more be the same as we see today.

I think @monagandhi and her team are onto something. ๐Ÿš€

I felt much more confident with Upraised. Even if I had probably not cracked the first company that I applied to, I was pretty sure that I would eventually end up in a PM role because thatโ€™s the kind of confidence boost I got through the entire process.

Was great to read this ๐Ÿ”piece on @StoaHQ @getupraised + new kid @invactHQ 's disruption of the MBA.

Great to see this level of ambition, & chutzpah.

Also 2yr MBAs have insane opportunity costs now. In 2 yrs, you can aspire to build a โ‚ฟn startup now.

Upraised made a seemingly impossible switch from Business roles to Product Management (without an MBA) pretty quick and smooth. The course content is very effective. What stood out is that the Upraised team relentlessly worked with me to improve my applications & interview skills. The intent and sincerity of the team showed in the dozens of mocks & prep sessions they held for me.

Product management is a skill and like other skills one needs to practice, to get really good at it. Upraised help me identify my weakness, provide the right material and coached me till I got better.

After each mock interview, I was given actionable insights to improve my blind spots. This process helped me go into my actual interview with greater confidence and eventually get the offer.

Proud of what we're building at @getUpraised ๐Ÿ˜Œ

I had been wanting to get into PM for long but despite the number of resources available out there, I was lost about where to begin. Upraised had a customised step by step plan for me. Rather than providing just theoretical material to learn from, Upraised made the whole learning journey meaningful with a focussed end point - โ€˜a jobโ€™.

Guess I was this close ๐Ÿค

Thanks @getupraised @monagandhi for this amazing experience :)

Extremely optimistic that @getupraised is best poised to do make a dent in the non-engineering space!

Not just in ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ but ๐ŸŒ!

My journey with Upraised started with me taking the KYS test. It gave me an in depth analysis of what my strengths and weaknesses were. My entire learning journey was super personalized and was aimed at improving my weak points which helped boost my confidence.

Meaningful PM interns for undergraduate are not easy to come by, @getupraised has done some excellent stuff in this domain.

The @getupraised #EmbarkProgram you offer to students like me makes a real difference. Thank you @monagandhi
