Hello Readers,

Did you hear?

The G7 summit happened last week!

The Group of Seven summit was held in Italy last week as leaders of its member states: Justin Trudeau of Canada, Emmanuel Macron of France, Olaf Schulz of Germany, Georgia Meloni of Italy, Fumio Kishida of Japan, Joe Biden of the US, and Rishi Sunak of the UK attended the summit. Several other country heads participated in the meeting alongside Pope Francis, who became the first Pope to attend! What happened at the summit?

G7 leaders confronted China!

At the end of the G7 summit, the G7 leaders accused China of helping Russia in ‘enabling’ its war in Ukraine by helping it avoid major sanctions and supply it with important goods. They have called for China to cease its supply of dual-use materials, including weapons components and equipment, which serve as inputs for Russia’s military, failing which they could take serious actions including restricting access to their financial systems! But that’s not the end of it!

G7 leaders are helping Ukraine!

All G7 leaders have also agreed to lend $50 billion to Ukraine backed by Russian sovereign assets! The loan will be guaranteed by the profits of Russia’s impounded assets worth $300 billion and given to Ukraine for military equipment and reconstruction purposes! Russia has called the move illegal while threatening to utilize European assets in Russia, leading to painful repercussions of their actions! But that’s not all about Ukraine!

Ukraine has signed a 10-year deal with the US!

The Ukraine peace summit was one of the main matters at the G7 summit this year as the US went a step above other G7 members and signed a 10-year security deal with Ukraine. This deal aimed to bolster Ukraine’s defense against Russia while helping it get closer to NATO membership! This deal commits that future administrations support Ukraine, even if Joe Biden does not remain in office! Did India take part in this summit?

India also attended the summit!!

Indian PM Narendra Modi attended the G7 as his first international visit in his new term as he discussed several important factors. PM Modi and PM Meloni discussed strengthening bilateral ties between India and Italy in multiple areas such as clean energy, manufacturing, security cooperation, and others. Another major development was the G7 members’ pledge to support the IMEC project! This is a major project that will see top countries cooperate to produce a major infrastructure network!!

Speaking of top, did you hear? Top colleges are introducing their Product Management degrees!!

Some of the top colleges which have introduced their own Product Management programs are:-

  • International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT)
  • Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee.
  • Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode.
  • Indian School of Business.

But why? Why are colleges focusing on Product Management??

Because of its growing importance!

Product Management is one of the Top 5 job profiles that companies, especially startups, are hiring for today! Traditional MBAs and Master’s degrees are not arming students with the skills they need in the field, because of this these colleges are now ramping up their offerings to meet market demand.

And there is high demand. Product Management is a field where demand for skilled individuals is vastly outpacing the supply of it, resulting in a massive talent crunch. Companies are fighting over skilled Product Managers, often giving them 50-80% hikes, just to hire them!

 

And rightly so. A Product Manager’s tasks range from coming up with product offerings all the way to ensuring proper execution of the product! With their responsibilities rooted in the fields of strategy, management, leadership, and operations, a Product Manager is an individual deeply ingrained in the company’s overall growth, especially startups!

Moreover, the only direction for the profession is up, it is here to stay! More and more companies are relying on the diverse yet specialised offerings of Product Managers to streamline their processes and improve their products. Some estimates suggest a yearly increase of 30-40% in new jobs in the field!
