I have been an engineer for the better part of my career. Walmart, however, opened doors to a career in product management for me—a path that pushed me to grow in unexpected ways. I learned to deal with ambiguity, think differently, be more data oriented and most importantly be assertive. The transition wasn’t easy but the Women’s Resource Community played a catalyst I needed. I connected with inspiring, tech-savvy colleagues who became my partners on working on an idea — going all the way from market research and user interviews to strategy and solutions. Thanks to this mini project, I developed a deep understanding of GenAI and LLMs—technologies that I wouldn’t have otherwise explored. Our solution even got acknowledged at hackathons! The time I spent on the project has made me a better product manager and I have this incredible community of technologists to thank for that. What’s exciting is that I get to apply everything I have learnt to my work as part of the Walmart International Product Team and create meaningful supply chain solutions for South Africa. I’d say, I am just getting started and can’t wait to see what I discover next in my journey! Vijaya Prasanna Vandana Soni Ramya Gopalakrishnan Meena Yarasi Revathi Sadagopan VIEW POST
