The transition from BA to PM is quite interesting. Few challenges IMO:
1. BA thinks deep about A customer problem and build solutions that meet the requirement. Gets approval from customer on the documentation and then works with the team towards execution. PM, on the other hand, has to research the problem well to understand the broader impact on multiple customers and markets (Competition, trend, etc) and then develop a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, and create documentation for product teams. As there is no formal sign-off from customers, PM is responsible for success as well as the failure of the product/ features developed.
2. Mindset shift. As a BA, you tend to agree with most if not all customer feedback on requirements and solution design. PM makes independent decisions based on data at hand which means most of the time you would be saying "NO" to requests coming from customers, and your internal cross-functional teams (Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, PS, etc) so your product team can stay focused on the task at hand. You might think its easy to say "NO" but it isn't.
3. PM roles are very cross-functional in nature and aren't suited for 9-5 kinds of work life. You might work with the team in India during day time and with customers across the global rest of your time.
4. Constant upskilling and networking is expected. You are expected to attend conferences, present at conferences, learn from industry peers, upskill on the latest technologies, business changes, etc. You get the point.
5. Education - Most Indian companies expect you to have an MBA and in few cases from top colleges.
If you are good with above, I would encourage you to find someone on LinkedIn to mentor you in the next couple of months so you are ready for the transition in 1-2 years.
Good luck!
That's Great! I was aiming on somewhat similar lines.
