My 2 cents, take courses on product management concepts, build your resume, network more via LinkedIn, get referrals.
Concepts required:
- design thinking (arch knowledge)
- roadmap
- side projects to add ownership in resume
- understanding of frond middle and back end code, framework, dataflow, ui, ux
- api understanding
- kpis - primary, secondary, telemetry
- requirement gathering and documentation

Look into Medtech companies and some portfolio of product work will help you out

Not fixated on Life Sciences companies. Looking to explore other Product Companies in Software/FMCG/E-commerce etc
Actually not just looking for what companies to apply here but rather the specific set of skill sets required and profile to build to get and convert a Call.
Does 3 months courses offered by ISB and other institutions for Product Management will do any help in getting a call and so on

In same boat!
