The DSM Story: Our drive to help you thrive!
The Product Professional’s Dilemma
Imagine this: You’re a driven product professional. You’re passionate about building amazing products, but you’re stuck. The digital world is a whirlwind of new technologies, evolving methodologies, and fierce competition. You’re working hard but not seeing the career growth you deserve. You’re not alone. Many talented product people feel overwhelmed, unsure how to bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be—leading innovative teams, launching impactful products, and truly making their mark. The current training landscape often falls short, offering theoretical knowledge without the real-world application and personalised guidance needed to excel. You’re left feeling frustrated, unsure if you’re on the right path, and maybe even questioning your potential.
The Skills Gap Struggle: Is This Holding You Back?
The villain here isn’t a single entity but rather the friction between your ambition and obstacles. It’s the skills gap—product management, AI skills, soft skills, the lack of practical experience, the overwhelm of constant change, and the absence of a clear career roadmap. These forces keep you from achieving your goals, leaving you stuck and unfulfilled. You’re caught in a cycle of trying to keep up but never quite getting ahead. The longer you stay in this cycle, the more you risk falling behind, losing confidence, and missing out on the opportunities you deserve.
Your Path Forward
That’s where DSM comes in. Founded in London in 2013 by product experts Onkar and Himani, we’ve walked your path. We’ve built successful products, led high-performing teams, and navigated the complexities of the digital world. We get it. We know what it takes to thrive. We’re not just trainers; we’re your guides, mentors, and partners. Our proven ATAR process (Assess, Train, Apply, Reinforce) is your personalised roadmap to digital mastery. We’ll help you pinpoint your strengths and opportunities for growth, target the right training for your goals, apply your new skills in real-world projects, and continuously refine your expertise with personalised coaching and community support.

At DSM, you’re not just learning but transforming your career and building your network. You’ll gain the confidence, skills, and connections you need to become a product leader, driving innovation and making a real impact. Imagine yourself leading successful product launches, influencing strategic decisions, and finally achieving the career you’ve always dreamed of. With DSM, your career vision becomes a reality.

Awards and Recognition
Our awards and recognition highlight our commitment to providing world-class digital skills training and career resources that empower professionals to thrive.
DSM aims to offer each individual a ‘Systematic approach to skills development and career management’.
Our A-T-A-R™ process allows you to ‘Assess’ your current digital skills level. Based on this assessment you can then decide which level and type of ‘Training’ is required for you to succeed in your career. Once you get trained, it is time for you to ‘Apply’ those skills in your company projects. This step helps you transition from theory to practice, which will also increase your confidence and hands-on experience. After applying your learnt skills it’s time to ‘Reinforce’ your learning with additional best practices and coaching.

If you’re serious about pursuing a career in product management, look no further. DSM’s Digital Agile Product Manager (DAPM) course was a game-changer for me. It equipped me with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel as a product manager. Inner Circle (DSM’s coaching program) is truly the cream of the crop. As someone who aspired to become a Product Manager, I can confidently say that my experience with DSM has been nothing short of remarkable. Onkar and Himani, as mentors and lead trainers at DSM, are undoubtedly the best in the industry. They guided me through every step of my journey and provided invaluable mentorship that helped me achieve my goals.

Highly recommended.
I attended Product Management training conducted by Onkar at Said Business School while doing my MBA. As someone who was looking to transition into a career in product management post MBA, this training was extremely helpful. Onkar provided great hands-on training on key principles of Product Management and Agile practices with real-life product examples. His training is relevant and useful for companies of any sizes, from startups to big organizations.

Here is everything is you need to know about us
Onkar Singh Lohtham
Product Coach and Lead Trainer at Digital Skills Mastery (DSM)
Hi guys,
I am Onkar, your product coach and lead trainer at Digital Skills Mastery (DSM) – an academy focussed on training digital professionals like you. I am super excited to have you here. My motto is to help you take your digital career to the next level.
For over 19 years, I have worked with organisations across the globe to build multimillion-pound products and services. I have taken on many different roles – from software engineer and business analyst, to product manager and CPO – until I decided with my colleague Himani to start both Digital Skills Mastery (DSM) and Product Hub Hob (PHH). DSM is our global training & coaching academy specialising in digital skills, while PHH is London-based digital product management consultancy.
All this experience informs my understanding of the day-to-day issues you, as digital professionals, encounter in your B2B, B2C and start-up roles. The proprietary models, tools and techniques you will learn on the training programme are all based on real-life case studies from over 20 different high-profile projects I have worked on during my career.
If you are interested, I will be more than happy to share the success blueprint on the practical implementation techniques around product road maps, OKRs, commercial strategies, managing complex backlogs, leading multi-product agile teams and more.
I have combined the ‘Art’ and ‘Science’ elements of product management in our training programmes to help digital professionals like you excel at their work. We implement the same models and tools in product consultancy work with our clients.
My client base ranges from New York to Delhi and Hong Kong to Amsterdam. This has given me great insight into multi-location Agile team-working best practice, something which is now woven into the framework of this programme. I have also been lucky enough to work across a wide number of domains and disciplines, so don’t hold back when it comes to questions. My knowledge covers publishing, financial services, fashion, government services, commodities, market research, online recruitment and digital.
I have a Bachelors in Engineering (Distinction, India) and a Masters in Business Management (Distinction, UK). I am also a qualified leadership coach, conduct training sessions in the UK, US, Germany and India, speak at Agile events and regularly blog on product management. I look forward to working with you.
Himani Tiwary
Product Coach and Trainer at Digital Skills Mastery (DSM)
Hello there,
Lovely to see you here. I am Himani, your product coach and trainer at Digital Skills Mastery. At DSM, we offer actionable resources, training programmes, and personalised coaching to enable you to achieve your desired career growth.
In my 15 years as a digital product professional, I have worked in a variety of different roles including business analyst, product owner, product consultant and head of product, all of which helps me understand your needs and workplace issues.
During this time, I have acquired a comprehensive understanding of the roles and responsibilities shared among diverse teams in multi-locations, having led international set-ups in the UK, US, Ireland, Hong Kong, India and Switzerland. At the DSM academy, I will share this workplace experience with you. It will cover delivering multimillion-pound digital products from strategy to launch, as well as advising start-up founders, CEOs and CTOs in executing digital product strategy.
In 2013, after over eight years in the corporate sphere, I started Product Hub Hob (PHH), the digital product management consultancy I run with Onkar in London. I lead the sales, marketing, and customer service side of our businesses, along with extensively doing content research & course creation work with Onkar. I cannot do this alone and rely on my team to help me out.
I believe a hands-on approach is beneficial in any workplace environment. That’s why it’s one of the cornerstones of our training approach and key to the skillset you will advance with from the DSM academy. Nothing beats the feeling of being skilled at something that helps you achieve your goals.
My goal is to help you maximise your potential by crafting a product management success blueprint while you train with us. I am an Electronics & Communication engineer (BIT Mesra, India), MBA graduate (SCMHRD, India) and NLP coach (UK).
I look forward to connecting with you.
