Become Founder’sForward Deployed AI PM
Over six weeks, you'll apply every stage to real product challenges from Rimigo, a travel-tech startup personalizing trip planning and discovery.
Know Rimigo
India's most loved AI travel-tech company
Rimigo is a real, funded travel-tech startup, not a hypothetical case study. Their pitch on Shark Tank India is the fastest way to see what they've built and why these challenges are real.
What is Founder's Forward Deployed AI PM?
A PM who owns the whole lifecycle
A Product Manager shouldn’t only know how to write a PRD. A modern PM needs to understand the entire product lifecycle — Research → Strategy → Design → Build → Ship → Measure — and, most importantly, practice it on real product problems.
The Framework

3 Real-World Case Studies
Built with Rimigo, a real travel-tech company
Instead of solving generic cases like “build a food delivery app,” you’ll work on three product challenges based on a real company. The cases intentionally cover different types of PM problems, so you experience more than one flavor of product management.
Case 01 — DIY Traveler
Growth · B2C · Discovery
Attract travelers who don’t want traditional travel packages
What product initiatives or experiences could Rimigo build to attract and convert DIY travelers — people who prefer planning their own trip and may not naturally choose a traditional travel agent or package?
What you’ll need to understand
- Who is the DIY traveler?
- Why do they prefer planning independently?
- What are their biggest pain points?
- Where do they discover travel information?
- What prevents them from using existing travel products?
- What could make Rimigo useful enough to try?
- What could move them from discovery to activation?
What you’ll apply, stage by stage
Research → Opportunity → Strategy → Prototype → PRD → GTM → Metrics
Case 02 — Global
Strategy · Expansion
Think beyond one market
What would Rimigo need to consider when expanding its product experience for a global traveler audience? This moves from feature-level product thinking to market-level product strategy.
What you’ll need to understand
- Who is the global user?
- Which traveler segments matter?
- How might traveler behavior differ across markets?
- What should remain consistent?
- What needs to be localized?
- What product capabilities are required?
- How should opportunities be prioritized?
- How should the product enter a new market?
- How should the experience be positioned?
What you’ll apply, stage by stage
Market Analysis → Product Strategy → Roadmap → GTM → Metrics
Case 03 — Travel Advisor
B2B · B2B2C · Workflow
Extend the product to travel advisors
How could Rimigo extend its product to help travel advisors plan and create better trips for their customers? Instead of building only for the traveler, you are now thinking about someone who plans trips on behalf of customers.
What you’ll need to understand
- How travel advisors work
- Their existing workflows
- Their biggest pain points
- Traveler vs advisor needs
- Where technology can remove manual work
- How advisors and travelers might collaborate
- What should be customizable
- What an advisor-facing product experience could look like
- Potential B2B/B2B2C models
- Monetization possibilities
What you’ll apply, stage by stage
Advisor Research → Product Strategy → Workflow → Prototype → PRD → Business Model → Metrics
What you will build
Not videos and a certificate — things you create
This isn’t a course where you watch twenty hours of videos and receive a certificate. By the end of the cohort, you’ll have worked on:
User Research
Interview scripts, insights, JTBD and problem statements.
Product Strategy
Market analysis, opportunity mapping, prioritization and roadmap.
Product Design
User journeys, flows, wireframes and prototypes.
PRD
A complete product requirements document.
Technical Approach
Architecture and system-thinking plus an engineering breakdown.
Launch Plan
Launch strategy and go-to-market.
Metrics Framework
Success metrics, funnels and experiments.
Three Real-World Case Studies
Rimigo DIY Traveler, Rimigo Global, Rimigo Travel Advisor.
Portfolio Case Study
A polished, interview-ready product case study.
AI, integrated
AI is not a separate module
We don’t teach “AI for PMs” as a standalone two-hour session. AI is integrated into the entire PM workflow.
The goal isn’t to teach you fifty AI tools. The goal is to teach you how to use AI to become a better Product Manager.
Toolkit
Whatever it takes to be a powerful decision maker
A PM doesn’t need fifty tools — just whatever sharpens the decision in front of you. Two sit above everything else, because they touch every stage of the framework rather than one:
Claude
The default thinking partner throughout — research synthesis, strategy, PRDs and case write-ups.
GPT
A second opinion and a fast way to stress-test a decision before you commit to it.
The emphasis is on understanding the underlying skill, rather than becoming dependent on any particular tool.
After the cohort
What you'll be able to do
You’ll be able to take a product problem and independently work through:
- 1Understand the problem
- 2Understand the user
- 3Identify the opportunity
- 4Create the product strategy
- 5Prioritize what to build
- 6Design the experience
- 7Write the PRD
- 8Work with engineering
- 9Launch the product
- 10Measure the outcome
- 11Decide what to do next
That’s the Founder's Forward Deployed AI PM mindset.
Who is this for?
Five kinds of people this serves
Aspiring Product Managers
You want to break into PM and need more than interview frameworks.
Associate / Junior PMs
You have started your PM career and want to understand the complete product lifecycle.
Existing PMs
You want to strengthen areas outside your current specialization.
Founders & Entrepreneurs
You want to become better at discovering, building and scaling products.
Professionals transitioning into PM
You want real product work that you can discuss in interviews.
Your portfolio
More than “I completed a course”
At the end of the cohort, you can demonstrate three real, defensible cases:
How I approached a B2C growth/product problem
How I approached a global product expansion problem
How I approached a B2B/B2B2C product problem
Research → Strategy → Design → PRD → Build → Launch → Metrics
Who's behind this
Built by the same team 1,000+ PMs already trust
Founder's Forward Deployed AI PM is run by Prodomaniacs — the team that has already helped a thousand-plus people break into or grow in product management. Here are a few of them, where they work now, and what they said about learning with us.

Bhavika HinguProduct ManagerVedic Rishi AstroComing from a technical background, I wanted to gain in-depth knowledge of product management, and this cohort was exactly what I needed. Each concept was covered in detail, with enough time to truly understand the fundamentals and their real world implementations. The structure of the sessions ensured that no topic felt rushed, making the learning process engaging and comprehensive. What stood out the most was the practical approach, driven by Prashik’s rich real-world experience. This made it easy to connect theory with real-life scenarios and challenges. The guest lecture was equally valuable, offering a fresh perspective and helping me see product management from different angles. Overall, it was a highly enriching experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to bridge the gap between technical expertise and product management skills.
I was looking for a place which focuses on the core foundation of building product from scratch. Yes, there are resources out there, videos to watch or articles to read. But It always have felt messy and scattered to me. I needed a mentor who can help me to organize my chain of thoughts. I chose Prodomaniacs to fill those gaps. Sessions were engaging and more important it was fun learning experience with Prashik. He never feel satisfied until he makes you learn the concept well. He pushes you, guide you and always have been available for any product problem. This cohort has help me to organize my thoughts, to think with clarity and direction around the problem we are solving.
I joined Prashik’s product management course to enhance my skills, and it was a great decision. With some prior knowledge, I wanted to go deeper, and this course delivered with advanced topics, real-world case studies, and hands-on exercises that sharpened my product manager mindset. The interactive sessions focus on solving real problems with practical examples, not just theory. The small class size ensures everyone can engage and get personalized feedback, perfect for building on existing skills. Prashik is an excellent instructor. He is clear, approachable, and dedicated to helping students grow by applying concepts to real scenarios.
As an Associate Product Manager, staying updated and improving my skill set is always a priority. This cohort provided a well-structured approach to learning and unlearning, helping me develop a more structured way of thinking—something essential in product management. Building BYOP gave me a fresh perspective on product thinking and strategy. Prashik’s guidance throughout the journey was invaluable. His simple yet effective teaching made everything click by the end.
I have been part of june cohort. I can confidently say this course was a fantastic investment. I entered with very little knowledge of product management, and Prashik's teaching completely demystified the field for me. He has a brilliant way of taking complex topics and illustrating them with simple, everyday examples, so the concepts really stick. The most exciting part is that I've already been able to apply the thinking and frameworks from the course to my current role, leading to tangible improvements for my team.
I've been part of the Prodomaniacs community for about a year now, and I'm truly grateful to this community and to Prashik for providing me with continuous learning opportunities…
