Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore (IIMB) plans to co-host the Software Product Management Summit, along with the International Software Product Management Association (ISPMA), on February 14-15, 2019.
Summit is being held for first time in India, said Professor Rahul De, Chair, Centre for Software and IT Management at IIM Bangalore. He further said “Of late, Indian IT firms and start-ups are focusing strongly on developing software products, both for Indian as well as international markets. Having a leading industry association hold a summit in Bengaluru will go a long way in enhancing these efforts.”
The global Software Product Management Summit is a forum for experts from the industry and academia to exchange insights and best practices. India’s growth as a start-up nation and as the powerhouse for some of the top-notch software products in the world are the reasons why ISPMA chose the country as the venue for the SPM summit.
Haragopal Mangipudi, ISPMA Board Member and Distinguished Alumnus from IIM Bangalore, said: “In the age of digital competition, every business is a software business. Software products and platforms are the key value drivers in the digital era. ISPMA is excited to host this leadership summit in partnership with IIMB to promote and celebrate excellence in software product management in India.”
