What it takes to become an AI PM and how to get hired in 2026? by "Shravan Tickoo"

​A hiring-lens session, not a tools workshop.

​This session is intentionally different.

​It’s not about learning the latest AI tools, building flashy demos, or adding “AI” to your resume.

​It’s about understanding how AI PM hiring has actually changed - and what founders and hiring managers are really looking for in 2026.

​Shravan will break down how he evaluates PM candidates from a founder’s chair:

• ​What signals matter (and what no longer does)

• ​Where most AI PM candidates misunderstand the role

• ​Why many “well-prepared” candidates still don’t get hired

​This session focuses on thinking, judgment, and knowledge, not output theatre.

​By the end of the session, participants will:

• ​Understand how AI PM hiring has fundamentally shifted

• ​Clearly see the gap between how candidates prepare and how companies evaluate

• ​Learn how PMs are assessed beyond resumes, buzzwords, and tools

• ​Build a mental model of what actually makes someone hire-worthy in 2026

• ​Walk away with concrete next steps on how to think, learn, and position themselves

​If you’re serious about becoming an AI PM — not just sounding like one - this session will reset how you prepare
