Who I am shapes how I coach

Here's what you should know.

Ridhima Khurana during chemotherapy, smiling - cancer survivor and PM interview coach
🎯

PM veteran, both sides of the table

16+ years in product across India and the Bay Area. I've been the candidate and the interviewer. I coach L6-L9 PMs because I've lived those levels and know the bar at each one.

💪

Cancer survivor

This taught me more about mindset than any job ever could. How to stay focused when everything feels uncertain and show up with genuine confidence. I teach you how to walk into rooms like you belong there.

🏠

Built my own home in Los Gatos

From scratch. Every decision, every tradeoff, every setback. It taught me persistence and how to hold a long-term vision while solving problems daily. Same energy I bring to coaching.

👶

Mom to a 4-year-old

Nothing recalibrates priorities like a small human who needs you fully present. This interview is one chapter, not the whole story. That perspective reduces anxiety and lets your real ability come through.

Four rounds. One coach who's been on both sides

I prepare L6-L9 PMs for every round at top AI companies with specificity generic prep can't match.

PS

Product Sense

Design and strategy questions calibrated to what each company actually looks for

AN

Analytical

Metrics, root cause analysis, and making data-driven decisions under pressure

BH

Behavioral

Leadership stories and culture-fit answers that feel natural, not rehearsed

AI

AI Rounds

The new round type most coaches don't know how to prep you for. I do.

I don't just prep you for interviews
I help you think like a PM who gets it

How I take L6-L9 PMs from where you are to where you want to be.

1

Understand You

We map your strengths, gaps, and timeline. No cookie-cutter plans.

2

Build Frameworks

Reusable mental models for each round type, not memorized answers that crumble under pressure.

3

Practice & Refine

Realistic mocks with calibrated feedback. I tell you exactly where you stand and how to level up.

🔍

I've been in the interviewer's seat

Calibrated at Meta, Google, and SoFi. I know what separates a good answer from one that gets an offer.

I'm designing the new interview loops

I'm building interviews that test for AI fluency. I know the signals because I'm helping define them.

🎓

I teach you to fish

Frameworks and mental models you can apply to any question, at any company, for the rest of your career.

From people I've worked with

Real feedback from candidates who landed roles at top companies.

★★★★★
Ridhima was fantastic. I could see my performance in interviews greatly accelerate in the 5 sessions I had with her. She made me "up my game" and gave me the most detailed and actionable feedback. She asks very directed questions and no interview with her is easy but after you work through a case problem with her; you are smarter, better, wiser, faster... and much more prepared for the interview.

How This Compares

What you get here versus other coaching options.

Dimension Ridhima Khurana Other Coaching Services
Focus Area AI labs: Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepMind, Meta Specialist Broad FAANG prep (Google, Amazon, etc.)
Levels L6-L9 (Senior, Staff, Director, VP) Specialist Primarily entry to mid-level prep
Content Depth Deep, company-specific breakdowns with "10/10 answer" frameworks Generic question banks, surface-level coverage
Coaching Model 1:1 with a calibrated interviewer (Meta, Google, SoFi) Bundled mocks, unclear interviewer credentials
AI Round Prep Dedicated AI round coaching + interview loop design experience Unique No AI-specific preparation
Proven Outcomes 273+ candidates placed at top companies Minimal visible social proof
Interview Types Product Sense, Analytical, Behavioral, AI Product, behavioral, case studies
Coach Credibility Named practitioner, 16+ years PM, L6-L9 specialist, designs AI interview loops Team-run or anonymous coaches
AI Fluency Positioning Helps you weave AI understanding into answers authentically Unique No guidance on showcasing AI skills

Is this the right fit for you?

I want to be upfront so we both make the best use of our time.

This is for you if...

  • You're an L6-L9 PM targeting Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepMind, or Meta
  • Your target company tests for AI fluency in dedicated rounds or woven into Product Sense and Analytical
  • You're already in a loop and need fast, calibrated coaching before the clock runs out
  • You want to build a rock-solid foundation before opportunities come
  • You want to showcase AI fluency naturally, not forced

This might not be for you if...

  • You want a question bank to grind through solo
  • You want broad FAANG prep, not AI-era specialization
  • You're still exploring PM as a career
  • You need resume or job search help, not interview coaching

Interview loops move fast. You often have 2-3 weeks to prepare for rounds that could change your career. These roles pay $300K-$950K. You don't want half-baked prep for this.

Let's Talk About Where You Are
Ridhima Khurana standing on a mountain viewpoint - PM interview coach with 16+ years experience

A note on how I work

I'm selective about who I take on. That's by design.

I have a full-time job, a 4-year-old, and a startup. My time is limited, and every coaching minute should create a step-change difference.

During our clarity call, I'm assessing fit just as much as you are. If I'm not the right coach for you, I'll say so and refer you to someone who is.

💡 Quality over quantity

Small roster. Full attention. If I take you on, I'm all in.

🤝 Honest about fit

If I'm not the right coach for you, I won't take your money. I'll connect you with someone who is.

🌟 Step-change results

I take on clients where I can create a real leap, not incremental improvement.

A word about the coaching market right now.

Too many people calling themselves experts, charging steep prices, delivering little value. When you're in prep mode, you're anxious and willing to pay. Some coaches exploit that. Whether you work with me or someone else, make sure they have real credentials, real outcomes, and transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions

I specialize exclusively in AI-era PM roles at L6-L9 levels. I'm a calibrated interviewer at Meta, Google, and SoFi, and I'm actively helping companies design interview loops that test for AI fluency. Most coaching services offer generic FAANG prep. I give you the insider perspective on what these specific companies are screening for right now.

Not at all. Some of my best outcomes come from candidates who start 4-8 weeks before they even apply. We use that time to build frameworks, sharpen your thinking, and develop the mental models that make you dangerous in any interview. When the loop comes, you'll be ready instead of scrambling.

Yes. I regularly work with candidates who have interviews in 1-2 weeks. We'll prioritize ruthlessly, focus on the rounds where you have the biggest gaps, and run calibrated mocks so you know exactly where you stand. Book a clarity call and we'll build a plan around your timeline.

It starts with a free 30-minute clarity call where we assess fit and map your situation. From there, engagements typically range from 3-8 sessions depending on your timeline and gaps. Each session includes mock interviews, real-time feedback, and frameworks you can apply immediately. There's no one-size-fits-all package.

This is one of my core differentiators. I'm working directly with companies to build interviews that test for AI fluency. I know the signals they screen for because I'm helping define them. Whether it's a dedicated AI round or AI fluency woven into Product Sense and Analytical questions, I'll prepare you for both.

I coach L6 through L9, which covers Senior PM, Staff PM, Director, and VP levels. The bar looks very different at each level, and I calibrate my coaching accordingly. At senior levels, the interview shifts from "can you do the job" to "can you shape strategy and influence without authority." I know what that bar looks like because I've been on both sides of it.

I'll tell you directly. During the clarity call, I'm assessing fit just as much as you are. If I don't think I'm the right coach for your situation, I won't take your money. I'll refer you to coaches in my network who might be a better match. I'd rather lose a client than waste your time.

Pricing depends on the scope of the engagement. We'll discuss this on the clarity call after I understand your situation, timeline, and goals. These roles pay $300K-$950K. The right coaching is a high-ROI investment in a career-defining moment.
