How to become a PMP certified / Project Manager without having any experience in directing or managing a project?

PMP Eligibility Requirements - it is mentioned that,
Minimum five years/60 months unique non-overlapping professional project management experience during which at least 7,500 hours were spent leading and directing the project*

My own path to PMP started with studying for and sitting for the CAPM exam and getting my CAPM certification in 2009. I started tracking my project involvement at that time, and was fortunate to have a manager that allowed me to manage some major projects. At the end of 2012, I applied for the PMP exam. In January 2013 I obtained my PMP certification. I will always be grateful to Michael Brown, the manager that encouraged and supported my own pursuit of Project Management Professional certification.

I wish you all the best, Sunil, in your pursuit

Here's the questions I ask all of my PMP exam prep students--
1. Have you ever worked on any "short term" efforts, like a) process improvement, b) systems upgrade, c) renovated a room, d) developed a new product, etc.?
2) Have you worked with internal or external clients on short-term or long-term contracts involving the creation of a new product/service/process or improvement of an existing one?
3) Have you evaluated the potential issues related to the creation or improvement of a new product/process/service?

If you have done any of those, you've probably been on a project and didn't even know you were...
