The Product Graveyard (& Resurrections)

Success is a terrible teacher. In the high-stakes world of Product Management, the most profound lessons aren't found in the unicorns that made it, but in the ashes of the ones that crashed and burned. Why does a heavily funded $120 million smart juicer become a laughingstock? How does a failing multiplayer game pivot into a multi-billion-dollar workplace app? Product Graveyard & Resurrections, brought to you by Wazir - The Strategy and Consulting Club at IIM Rohtak, flips the script on standard business quizzes. Instead of celebrating the winners, we are digging into tech history’s most spectacular flops, misread user behaviors, and legendary 11th-hour pivots. This is your chance to step into the shoes of a lead PM conducting a product autopsy. We challenge you to look past the shiny launch events and diagnose the root causes of these outcomes. This quiz will test your grasp of core frameworks, product-market fit, and analytical thinking to see if you can pinpoint exactly where a strategy went wrong, and how some companies managed to rise from the dead.
