After 1300+ minutes of teaching and 23,000+ minutes of learning, we finally concluded our Enterprise - Decoding B2B SaaS Product Management Cohort. This cohort consisted of learners from across India like Bengaluru, Delhi, Rajasthan, Kolkata, Mumbai, etc. Big Kudos to our star Instructor Abhishek Shukla, Principal Product Manager at Adobe and all the learners who made this cohort a huge success!
The fun and learning at Airtribe never stops!
Folks from our Product community joined us for a super fun Community Jam Session on Thursday last week. While the business trivia questions dazzled some minds, the session ended with lots of laughter, fun and camaraderie.

The Power of Product Thinking
The simplest way to define product thinking is that it is the skill of knowing what makes a product useful -and loved-by people. But, as with all skills, it can be nurtured and developed; it’s not just an instinct one does or doesn’t have”
In this article, Julie Zhuo shares valuable insights on how to build delightful products that have the potential to solve core problems for their users and customers.

💫A recent discovery we found fascinating
We pondered deeply about this tweet and the concept of second-order thinking.
Kunal Shah believes being smart doesn’t make you an outperformer. He thinks it is correlated to the second-order thinking mechanism. It’s hard to question and examine the consequences of our decisions. Most of the time, when we fail to consider the second-level consequences, it leads to painfully bad decisions.
The ability to think through problems and ask the question, “and then what?” leads to effective decision-making. Second-order thinking takes a lot of work to master. That’s why extraordinary performances come from being able to see and assess situations others cannot.
✨Signing off with some wisdom
