Sustainable Growth

Bandan explores the growing expectation for product managers to step into more strategic business roles, where understanding Profit and Loss (P&L) is essential. As companies scale, product leaders are no longer just responsible for shipping features but are increasingly accountable for driving sustainable growth and measurable business outcomes. In this session, Bandan shares how product managers can align their work with broader company goals, link product metrics to financial results, and focus on long-term value creation rather than short-term hype. He highlights key financial indicators that matter to executives and how product teams can use them to guide decision-making. This talk is ideal for product leaders who want to deepen their business acumen and become trusted partners to their CEO and leadership team.
