I took a class on SDLC / Product development and ever since I've been fascinated by the idea of working on "planning & executing" something from scratch. Is it possible to directly get into product development / project management right out of college?

Just apply! There are junior roles. There are plenty of courses online that can help you prepare.
Or go down the route of business analysis -> product owner / project management. Starting in QA can also help get into management.
I'd say one good approach would be..... apply for these roles. There are definitely junior PM roles, but even mid-level or unspecified level roles might just love your application and go with you.
You might get rejected a few times, but you also might just land that role...

I've doing this for a year now, and seems like it definitely has a geographical component. For me its extra-ordinarily difficult to find Junior PM roles. After looking into it for a while, it seems like most Junior PM roles are concentrated in Europe, US and Singapore primarily - it kinda makes sense but sucks at the same time.
There are few opportunities here in India as well, but they usually require 5-10 Years of experience and I am not seeing many Associate/Junior PM roles.
