Is an MBA really mandatory for becoming a Product Manager at Apple?

I aspire to be a Product Manager at Apple and am figuring out the best path to get there. One big question I’m struggling with—is an MBA the right next step, or are there alternative ways to break in?

Would love to hear from those who’ve navigated this journey. What worked for you? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

An MBA from Tier 1 in India would definitely be the top 2 ways to enter Apple as a PM or PMM.

The other way is to toll hard and enter FAANG/Big Tech, and hope for a lucky break.

Apple hores PMM directly from MBA colleges, so that's the easier route.

With over 10+ years of experience in Product management within the insurance and Fintech sector, I’ve realized that product management is still not understood/defined well as a role. I’m open to all sort of queries.

Very cool How is it working at PolicyBazaar? Does the product evolve a lot? How do you folks look at Acko?
