NextLeap

Joining the NextLeap program honestly changed the game for me.
The way it’s structured is super practical - it starts with the basics and gradually builds up to advanced topics, so it works great whether you're just starting out or trying to upskill.



What really stood out for me was the mentorship. I got to learn from folks who actually work in the industry, and they were genuinely helpful. 
They didn’t just teach - they gave personal feedback, cleared doubts quickly, and were there throughout the journey. From learning tools like SQL, Excel, Python, and dashboarding to actually working on real-world projects, it felt like I was constantly moving forward.



More than just the learning part, NextLeap really helped with placements too. The mock interviews, resume feedback, and portfolio support made a big difference. It gave me the confidence I needed to crack interviews and grab good opportunities.

Big shoutout to - (Harshit,Yunus,Ankush,Sahil) They are amazing

From structured content to hands-on projects and incredible mentorship, every element of the program is thoughtfully designed to shape you into a confident and capable product manager. I’m beyond grateful to the mentors and the entire NextLeap team who genuinely invest in your growth.
Their guidance not only helped me build strong fundamentals but also gave me the clarity and confidence to crack PM interviews — and ultimately kickstart my journey in Product Management. Future looks bright from here. 

Thank you, NextLeap, for believing in me and bringing out the best in me — couldn’t have done it without you.

Best,

In short it's worth it. I was already having a product experience so I thought it would not be worth it but after I joined, the classes of Arindam was very insightful especially the case hours in which he shared his personal insights from experience in Flipkart as director of PM. Other instructors were not that good but okish. Max students are who wants to transition to PM hence the hiring partners were also hiring for interns, and APM mostly. Another great thing was peers, you make friends and can do mock interviews together which improves interview skills. Also they are beta testing ai one too. Mentor support was not that much helpful for me personally I don't know about others. Also you need to clear graduation project and mentor product interview to sit for placements. At last I would say the investment was worth it, i learnt how to do 1st principle thinking to build products.

I was enrolled in Product Design Fellowship last year. What I really liked about the whole program was industry aligned course. The instructors were practicing Design & Product professionals and the mentors were available every week to solve our issues and help us build our portfolio showcases. The mentor I was assigned to also helped us in understanding the course milestone evaluations and also gave us an Idea of the product certification assessment. If you are looking to learn and ready to put in hours for this course then it will be a rewarding experience in the longer run. 

The comprehensive curriculum along with the weekly assignments made it very easy to understand the course. The cherry on the top is the community which is incredibly supportive, collaborative, and engaging. 

The instructors are seasoned product managers and subject matter experts, which helped boost the practicality of the course. The course is very hands on, where each weekly assignment is inspired from a real world product management challenge. 

From the basics of design thinking to conducting user research and creating high fidelity prototypes, this course ensures the students inculcate first principle thinking to solve problems. 

I wasn’t sure what career path to pick and then I stumbled upon the NextLeap Fellowship. The live sessions were extremely insightful and even the online material was very well curated. The entire fellowship was very engaging despite multiple cohorts running simultaneously. All the industry best mentors took the live sessions and were all very approachable and extremely supportive. It didn’t just end with the graduation project. I reached out to my mentor and Arindam himself multiple times when I was struggling with my initial days of my first PM job and I was actually surprised to get replies from him. He’s always got your back. I always had a very skeptical view about ed-techs but the experience at NextLeap completely changed my mind. There’s no over the top promises, and they’re very accountable for the promises made and it’s not transactional at all. Everyone is always there to help you. 
Anybody who wants to jump into Product Management but not sure of what Product Management, this is the go to course. Of course, for a very very affordable price. All the other courses out there are very misleading - I myself went through a bad experience. I think NextLeap’s PM fellowship is the best one out there. 

Before I forget, my current job is through NextLeap. And I got this placement support post many months of my cohort ending. They extended the services due to COVID. The whole placement process was so smoothly handled. I am extremely grateful to Meha, the placement coordinator who always responded, didn’t leave me hanging. 
Overall, extremely extremely grateful to NextLeap for shaping my career.
