Swati Awasthi shared thisDay 2. And what a way to close The Great Product Festival 2026. ✨ Two days of ideas, conversations, building, challenging assumptions, meeting new people and imagining what the next generation of products, companies and builders from India can look like. Day 2 brought together founders, product leaders, investors, technologists and builders across stages, workshops, the hackathon, demos and conversations that went far beyond the sessions themselves. But somewhere between all of it, something bigger became visible. This wasn’t just a festival we organised. - It became a room full of people who believe in building. - Building ambitious products. - Building with AI. - Building from India for the world. - Building careers, companies and communities. - And, most importantly, building together. When we started working towards TGPF, there were a lot of unknowns. But there was one belief we kept coming back to:India deserves more rooms where builders don’t just talk about the future, they come together to create it. Over these two days, we saw that belief come alive. To every speaker who shared generously, every partner who believed in the vision, every volunteer and team member who made the impossible happen, and every single person who walked through those doors, thank you! You made the first edition of TGPF what it became. The festival may be over. But Infinite Builders are more energized than ever. 🚀 See you at TGPF 2027!

Swati Awasthi shared thisThere are some moments when you look around and realise, quietly, that the thing you once imagined is actually happening in front of you. I had one of those moments at TGPF. On Day 1, I stood on the stage welcoming our infinite builders into the festival. I remember looking out at the room and thinking about how much had gone into getting everyone there. On Day 2, I was standing in that same room watching the final hackathon teams walk onto the stage to present what they had built. That felt like a full-circle moment. But what made it even more special was looking at the teams that won. Two of the winning teams were all-women teams. And honestly, that made me pause. When we started Women in Product India, the goal was never simply to get more women into the room. It was to create an ecosystem where women had the opportunity to build, lead, take risks, and be visible in spaces where the future was being shaped. At TGPF, women and men were building alongside each other. That matters. But seeing women not just participate, but take the stage, build something, compete, and win felt like a very tangible reflection of what we have been trying to create. For me, equitable access looks like: - Being in the room. - Having the opportunity to build. - Having the confidence to take the stage. - Being recognised for what you have built. That final moment gave me a sense of achievement that is difficult to put into words. Because TGPF was never just about putting together a big festival. It was about creating a space where more people get the opportunity to shape the future of product and AI. And perhaps the most rewarding part of building something is seeing the original intention show up in ways you didn't plan for. I'm deeply grateful to everyone who made TGPF possible, and especially to every builder who showed up and made the room what it was. This felt like a full-circle moment. And I have a feeling we're just getting started. The Great Product Festival, Women in Product India

Swati Awasthi reposted thisSwati Awasthi reposted thisThe Great Product Festival is over. And honestly, I’m still processing it. What started as an idea and months of planning became something much bigger because of the people who showed up and made it happen. To everyone who attended, listened, asked questions, shared ideas, built things, made new connections, and brought their energy into the room, thank you. To our incredible crew who worked behind the scenes, handled registrations, managed the chaos, coordinated speakers, supported attendees, and solved problems before most people even knew they existed, this would not have happened without you. To every mentor, speaker, partner, and volunteer who gave their time and energy, thank you for believing in what we were trying to build. And a special shoutout to every hackathon participant who spent 24 hours building, debugging, experimenting, and pushing through. Watching you build was one of my favourite parts of TGPF. Events are often remembered for the stage, the speakers, and the big moments. But I’ll remember the people. The conversations in the corridors. The last-minute problem-solving. The tired smiles. The teams helping each other. The excitement in the room. TGPF happened because so many people cared enough to make it happen. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ❤️ Until the next one. Swati Awasthi, Women in Product India

Swati Awasthi shared thisSome product lessons take years to learn. Yesterday, we got 20 years of them in just 20 minutes. 🔥 Bets to Breakthroughs: 20 Years of Product Lessons brought Lalitha Ramani K, GM, Google Maps Platform Experiences, India & NBU Markets, to the TGPF stage for a candid fireside conversation on what it really takes to build great products. From choosing the right bets with limited resources to building for India and global markets, from learning from failed bets to building a long-term career in product, the conversation was filled with insights that stayed with the room long after the session ended. And judging by the response, this was one of the sessions everyone loved. ❤️ Day 1 had plenty of big conversations. This was definitely one of them. #TGPF2026 #TheGreatProductFestival #BetsToBreakthroughs #ProductManagement #ProductLeadership #ProductLessons #BuildingProducts #GoogleMaps

Swati Awasthi liked thisSwati Awasthi liked thisA little late to post this, but better late than never. Last week, Team Userorbit had the opportunity to be at the The Great Product Festival in Bengaluru, and it was a great experience meeting so many people from the product community. The session I enjoyed the most was the conversation with Lalitha Ramani K, GM – Google Maps. There were a lot of interesting discussions around B2B vs B2C, prioritisation, building global products with local nuances, and what it really takes to stay relevant as products evolve. One thought that really stayed with me was: 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝟐,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐰𝐨. Frameworks can help with prioritisation, but ultimately it comes down to product intuition, judgement, and understanding the customer deeply. And perhaps my favourite takeaway: never assume you know your customer. Observe them. Stay curious. Spend time where they actually use the product. Some of the best product insights can come from simply watching how people solve problems in the real world. The discussion around the “𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐛-𝐜𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭” was another great reminder that a solution built for one specific problem or market can often create value far beyond its original intent. I came back from the session with a lot to think about — especially as we continue building Userorbit and thinking about how product teams can better understand what their users actually experience. Great conversations, great people, and some very useful product thinking. Thank you, The Great Product Festival, and Lalitha for the insights. Looking forward to the next one! #GreatProductFestival #GPF #ProductManagement #ProductThinking #ProductManagers #GTM #Userorbit #CustomerExperience

Swati Awasthi reacted on thisSwati Awasthi reacted on thisSome events you attend. Some events you help bring to life. The Great Product Festival 2026 was definitely the second kind. 🚀 I had the opportunity to be part of the crew and work behind the scenes throughout the event, from editing the event content to managing its online presence and making sure the moments happening on-ground reached the audience online. Two days filled with product leaders, founders, builders, designers, AI enthusiasts, conversations, ideas, and a lot of things happening at once. What made it special for me was seeing the entire process from the inside. The planning, the last-minute changes, the fast turnarounds, the edits, the content going live, and those little moments that people might never see but make an event come together. As a video editor, being able to capture the energy of TGPF and turn it into content was an experience I’ll genuinely take with me. Proud to have contributed to The Great Product Festival 2026. 💛 A big shoutout to Swati Awasthi, AMRIT RAJ, at The Great Product Festival Big respect to everyone who worked behind the scenes to make these two days happen. Until the next one.🎬 #TheGreatProductFestival #TGPF2026 #VideoEditing #ContentCreation #EventProduction #SocialMedia #BehindTheScenes #ProductCommunity #AI #Bengaluru

Swati Awasthi reacted on thisSwati Awasthi reacted on thisTechnical skills might get you through the door, but how well you brand yourself is what cements it!💡✨ What does it actually take to build an authentic personal brand before stepping into the corporate world? We had an amazing session on Self-Branding at Freshworks STS Software Academy, where Ira Pradhan broke down the entire journey into three simple steps: Know Yourself → Show Up → Tell Your Story. 🚀 Here are the key takeaways that every young professional needs to hear: 🔹 Know Yourself: Reflecting on how they are perceived, how they want to be perceived, and defining their personal brand in three words. 🔹 Why It Matters: Understanding personal branding through three anchors — their story, their work, and their word. 🔹 Show Up: Demystifying Executive Presence through Gravitas, Communication, and Appearance and making it practical for the workplace. 🔹 Own Your Style: Recognising their unique strengths and understanding that introversion can be a workplace superpower. 🔹 Learn from Role Models: Drawing inspiration from leaders like Indra Nooyi, Naina Lal Kidwai, Gita Gopinath, and Nivruti Rai. A big thank you to Ira Pradhan for spending time with our students and inspiring them to step into the corporate world with confidence, poise, and absolute authenticity! 🙌 #SelfBranding #ExecutivePresence #FreshworksSoftwareAcademy #FSSA #CareerGrowth #TechTalent #LifeAtFreshworks #LinkedInLearning

Swati Awasthi reacted on thisSwati Awasthi reacted on thisLast Friday I ran a workshop on AI evals for product teams at The Great Product Festival, at Toast, Bangalore. We worked with a refund bot for a made-up food delivery app. The room wrote its objective, its dashboard went green, and then we checked what it had actually done, case by case. From there we built a real evaluation together on Confident AI and watched the same bot behave differently as the objective changed. It was a full house, with thoughtful questions throughout. Thank you Swati Awasthi and the Women in Product India team for the invitation, and for shaping the session around what the community needed.
