According to LinkedIn, Product Manager ranks among the most promising jobs in 2019. Product Managers act as the pivotal drivers of growth in any organization, be it a startup or an established company. The only glitch – there is a massive gap in the demand-supply chain of Product Managers, as recruiters often find it challenging to acquire the right mix of talent, skill, and expertise in this domain.

So, what is the need of the hour?
