Round: HR Interview
Experience: I was being interviewed for APM role in the supply chain team. Initially had a call with VP products for expectation setting, then had a telephonic round with a Product manager, where he asked me a few question on my past work and gave me a guesstimate. He also asked me a few supply chain related questions. Then I was asked to come to Bangalore for 3 face to face rounds.
First F2F round was with a Product Manager, who asked me about my past work and a few general question on eCommerce supply chain. Second round was with 2 VP, Product, they asked me questions on what supply chain products we can build for urban ladder and what problems will they solve. Mostly the discussion revolved around ideation and solving a few specific problems of eCommerce supply chain. One of the interviewer here had a bit of aggressive tone, but it wasn't a stress interview. The last interview was with the founder and one more person from the sourcing team. They asked me on how we can design a dashboard for vendors. After this, the founder asked me a few questions like, what do you want to do in the future? Why urban ladder? Top strength and weakness relevant for the job I'm applying for etc.
Tips: Be genuine, friendly and confident.
Skills: Past Work, Analytical Skills, product sense, supply
College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: Product role in supply chain, high growth start up, a very good work culture, good talent pool and an awesome office
Funny Moments: I almost fell asleep after my 2nd round as because of Mumbai-Bangalore travel I was awake since 4 AM that day. The founder came in the room for the last round and woke me up.
After the last round, HR took me to the roof where they were having some diwali party, offered me beer and told me that I got the offer. I don't remember much as to what happened after that ;)

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Sent resume to an HR through Linkedin and got the call for interview
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Had 3 rounds of technical interviews with Product Owner, Product Manager and VP Product. Most of the questions were related to maths, statistics and a few on machine learning. Even though I did not have much background on these, I was asked to give my inputs and try to find a solution. We discussed recommendation engines for Quora, Linkedin and e-commerce websites. Then they asked me how can we remove the bias that comes in the practo ratings of the doctors due to feedback from various channels. How can we identify if the customer is booking an appointment by looking at reviews or ratings? How can we identify spam reviews before publishing them? How can we build a product which can help users write a better quality review? Most of the questions were related to data science and how we can improve the products using data. The data analyst role for which I was being interviewed, was a first of its kind role in Practo. The JD was to basically work with the product team and help them in improving products, building new features etc. using data science/ data analytics.
