The problem
Product marketing was still an emerging role in India. People needed local peers, mentors, practical education, and a place to ask early-career questions.
What I owned
Community strategy, organic content, partnerships, event programming, webinar production, course design, teaching, and member engagement.
Key decisions
- Built a regular programming rhythm rather than relying on one-off events.
- Combined online education with in-person community.
- Invited working PMMs to teach from current experience.
- Created a foundations course for aspiring and early-career product marketers.
What shipped
- Organic community content
- Live webinars
- 12 in-person events across Indian cities
- A PMM foundations course
- Partner and speaker programs
Results
- 1,200+ members in the first 8 months
- 1,500+ members today
- 12 in-person events
Evidence and artifacts
The community, in person and online
"Meera was one of the driving forces behind GoPMM as we grew the community, launched a course for aspiring and existing PMMs, and hosted both online and offline events. What always stood out was her energy and curiosity. She was constantly looking for better ways to do things, wasn't afraid to experiment, and brought a lot of momentum to everything she touched. More than that, she was just a great person to build with - proactive, resourceful, and genuinely fun to work alongside."
What I learned
A community grows when the programming gives members a reason to return and the room gives them a reason to stay.
