Interview Preparation Tips
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The first interviewer asked me some questions about myself, Mood Indigo and my experience at ITC. He then asked me to estimate the beer consumption in India and specified that he wants a number at the end and not just an approach. He also seemed interested in the assumptions I had to make along the way. The second interviewer asked me to analyze the profitability of an IT firm in India. After giving a few details he asked me to immediately tell him what I thought was the crux of the case and helped me arrive at the fact that using fixed inputs more is economically more feasible. This particular interviewer made no attempt to make it a &l feel-good one, he was very stern and curt.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I started preparing my resume somewhere around August end. I spoke to a few seniors about it and read quite a few resumes, especially of those seniors who either had a profile similar to mine or had secured jobs in fields of my interest, eg. Consulting, finance, etc. I also attended the Resume Writing Workshop conducted by McKinsey and Co. on campus and cleared a few doubts there.
Tips: I would advise you guys to start preparing your resumes well in advance, it is not something to be kept for the last minute. Being the first form of acquaintance between you and a firm, it is a highly important document and the way you highlight your strong points and attributes can go a long way in shortlisting you from amongst the hundreds of resumes that they have to scan. Also, it is important that you be able to speak on any point in your resume in detail, hence you must be sure of what you are writing in it.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: The procedure of selection for Opera Solutions was a set of 4 interviews, each having a case study and some HR questions. The initial shortlist had around 22 candidates, after the first 2 interviews around 10 candidates were selected for the final rounds. Finally 3 candidates were made offers. There were no GDs, only case interviews. The first interview had a case involving a music company which scouts for amateur talent and launches them. They want to enter India and want you to analyse the market and suggest if its feasible or not. The interviewer gave a lot of data related to market share of pop music, bollywood, devotional music, etc and it suggested that the market share of the genre related to the company is very little. However I think what worked best was that I also pointed out certain solutions which could make it feasible, such as merging with another company in a genre where the given company has core competencies in. I think this was the high point of the interview which I atleast would like to believe compensated for a later interview that I did not do well in. Another interview had a case where a pharmaceutical company in the US wants to enter India. A set of constraints and data was given and I was asked to calculate if it should actually setup a manufacturing facility in India or manufacture in the US and transport to India. I did not do well in this one, I wasn’t being able to come up with a figure. Both the interviews had an HR component where I was asked about my strengths and weaknesses, about Mood Indigo and my academic record. I was asked to describe myself. I was also asked to talk about my co-intern’s project in ITC (she was also interviewing with Opera). In a subsequent interview after the shortlist, I was asked to estimate the market for Maruti cars, domestic air travel. They weren't expecting too much detail, the interviewer was more interested in the approach. point.
Tips: I attended most of the initial PPTs. One does get a good understanding of what a firm does and where exactly do you fit into it, you also understand what they are looking for and what is the extent of their operations. I must admit though that I found my interaction with seniors, especially those working in those firms was more informative and fruitful. They can give clarity in certain grey areas that companies might stay non-committal on.ending across links/documents would help us compile a single point resource) . I prepared for case studies from the material I took from seniors, most of which is available on the LAN. For case studies I prepared with a friend and sometimes in groups of 3. I think this method is better than individual preparation because the other person can point out where you are going wrong, you get a different perspective and at the same time you can prepare in a fashion where one interviews the other and vice versa, so you get slightly comfortable with how an actual interview might feel like. It is however important to ensure that the person you are preparing with is competent and complementary to your skill sets, so that you can improve upon aspects where you might be lacking in.
General Tips: Case studies and HR questions. One should be very comfortable with points mentioned in the resume and should be able to talk at length about any . I guess it'd just be shifting a little from being myself if you know what I mean. A lot of seniors would give you a lot of fundae, but at the end one must remember that unless one is comfortable with a certain way of speaking or certain method of solving cases, it wont look genuine. For example, one need not thrash out every single detail of a case before beginning to solve it, sometimes the interviewer might get impatient or might think you are trying to buy time to think by asking unnecessary details. So if you are the kind of a person who can intuitively draw good conclusions at the outset so as to decide which direction to proceed in and hence which questions to ask, you can surely go ahead and do that, you need not also ask questions that you know are not required. Case interviews are very feel-good interviews, even if you make a mistake you will be guided back on track by the interviewer, hence I personally would recommend that you stick more to your general approach to solving cases (if you know it is a good one and works of course) and not try to change too much just because a certain senior did it in a different way.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Interview 1: This was a good case study and it did take me some time and help to get to the answer. The client was in the air conditioning business. It was barely break even while the competitors were making profits. Why and what could be done about the situation? Initial discussions revealed that the client had 2 products ; room air conditioners & central air conditioning systems. The central air conditioning systems were profitable but the room air conditioners were making losses. We went into a lot of details but whatever cost cutting we did, could also be achieved by the competitors in course of time. So there was no core differentiation that would give our client the edge. The competitors were multinationals like LG, Samsung etc. but the reason they were making profits were not because of economies of scale but because these companies have much lower marketing costs as they normally market a brand (eg LG) and not a product alone. This edge could never be achieved by our client as he was only in the air conditioning business. So it was a good idea to exit the room air conditioning market and focus on our strength in the central air conditioning market. Interview 2: The second interview had a case on valves. But we never got to the end because of shortage of time. Interview 3: This was a very interesting case study. The client is a cement manufacturing company which has to choose the best sales person of the year. There were four candidates A, B, C & D. Now what criteria should we use to choose the best sales person? The interviewer explained me how the sales business works in the cement industry. You have dealers who do the selling. The sales people negotiate deals with the dealers who have a commission on every sale. This gave us multiple criteria for judging a sales person ; total sales, best deals, maximum % of sales in the city, incremental sales since last year, presence at best dealers, good margins etc. The interviewer made sure that every criterion gave a different answer. So in the end there was no clear answer to the question. So we decided it would be a better idea to state the criterion in the beginning of the year and choose the best sales person accordingly.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I went through a few templates & took help from some seniors. I prepared a few drafts and then later made improvements. IT might be a good idea to prepare well in advance and get your resumes reviewed from seniors in the companies you are applying. As probably you'll get to hear a lot, focus more on what you have achieved rather than just stating what all you have done. Keep it simple and short. And don't add anything you are not comfortable talking about in an interview. I know many capable people who didn't get short listed for Mck/BCG just because they didn't think resume was a big deal.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: The case was simple. The interviewer said that imagine that he and I were flying together, he being an entrepreneur and I being the consultant. He tells me that he has motorcycle manufacturing business. His revenue has been steadily increasing but he is making losses. As he was not an accountant, he did not have any figures with him at the moment. After some discussion he told me that the sales were up and the costs had stayed the same. I figured that he was probably selling a couple of products and the sales of products which he was selling at a loss were increasing faster than those on which he was making a profit. That came out to be true. He was also selling auto parts apart from motorcycles but was making losses at the sale of motorcycles and sales of motorcycles has almost doubled last year while those of auto parts had stayed the same. That was all and we went back to HR questions. Another case was again pretty straight forward. The interviewer told me that his friend owned a multiplex in some suburb of Mumbai. His friend was making huge losses and had left him a frantic voice mail and wanted to meet him over the weekend. So I had to first give few ideas as to how to generate revenue, to make his friend feel better and then how to find the root of the problem. I think I tossed around a lot of ideas but I don't remember most of them. We planned to decrease cost of tickets but increase charges for advertisements and increase canteen rates. We planned to show soccer, cricket and tennis matches whenever it looked profitable and feasible. We also discussed coming under an Adlabs or PVR umbrella which will offer better bargaining power with producers. Then we also decided that it will be a good idea to conduct a survey in the locality and find the right mix of regional, bollywood and hollywood movies.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: A lot of HR questions interspersed with small cases like consider a factory on one side of a river and a town on the opposite side. There is only one bridge to cross that river and there is always a traffic jam on the bridge in the mornings and evenings. Give a few ideas to improve the situation. He also gave me a guess estimate to guess the number of white boards in use in India. And then he asked me to give arguments for an average educational institute to shift from black boards to white boards.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: This interview had no case. In-fact it wasn't exactly an interview and we just talked about his time at Mckinsey, their work in India, role of BAs etc.

And don't add anything you are not comfortable talking about in an interview. I know many capable people who didn't get short listed for Mck/BCG just because they didn't think resume was a big deal. I attended most of the PPTs. They are informative, but don't always help you decide what you want, the best part are the pizzas of course. Talk to seniors in the companies that you are interested in but remember these seniors are now employees of the company and will usually not say a single bad word about the job. Apart from seniors, try talking to people who will give your interests priority over the company (cousins, close friends).
Round: HR Interview
Experience: There was an initial shortlist of about 25 and a waiting list of 20 based on resumes. After the first round of interviews (one interview each), about 10 candidates were short listed. After the second round of interviews (2 interviews each), 3 final offers were made. All interviews were both case study and HR. A few questions based on the resume, the normal HR questions and a couple of them. Interview revolved around the normal HR questions, then he asked me something about which Indian company do I admire the most and why. To be honest I wasn't really prepared for this one. Next was a case of sort. He asked me that if I was the director of IIT Bombay and it was a private institute, what steps I would take to generate funds and make it a profitable institution. I think my answer revolved around generating funds from alumni, getting research grants from big companies, raising fees but providing adequate loans and repayment options, allowing shops inside campus, raising funds through placements.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: The interviewer was asking everybody the same case, as he said he wanted to measure everybody on the same platform. I don't recall the case very precisely but since it was the same for everyone, I am sure somebody else must have written it in their interview experience.
Round: Behavioural Interview
Experience: The third interview started with questions like why consulting, which other companies did I appear for, how did I fare, what went wrong etc. They also wanted to know if I had appeared for CAT or GRE. Then we moved onto the other HR questions about my aspirations, immediate plans etc. The case that I got was particularly interesting. The case was how to increase the revenue of my dads manufacturing unit (my dad has a hosiery manufacturing unit) by 5 fold in 3 years. This was also easy since I had all the facts that I needed before I even started. I didn't have to ask the interviewer for any clarifications or dig for any facts. So I started with increasing working hours to 2 shifts of 8 hours each. Then I would increase exports by exporting to Europe and US by manufacturing in summers and for African and South American nations in winters. Australia would not be a market as all the raw material mostly comes from Australia and it would be hard to compete with the Australian domestic manufacturers. Then an year or so later, I would look to launch my own brands and work a franchise model as I didn't have much experience with the retail business. Launching my own brand would bring much better margins. I also discussed the possibility of attracting brands like GAP, ZARA, C&A yet not available in India and manufacturing for the domestic market. I also discussed the possibility of entering the other segments of garment market as I had the required contacts & reputation in the market. All I had to do was set up new manufacturing facilities. The case was again followed with a couple of HR questions.

Interview Questions
- Q1. Tell me about yourself
- Q2. Why is your cpi low?
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The answer to the first question should be short (max. two lines) but should bring out the strong talking points of your resume. In my case, I stressed on my organizational and leadership skills. The answer to this question would invariantly lead to the next question related to the topic that you mentioned strongly. Here onwards, in each answer you should bring in a topic which you are comfortable talking about so that the interviewer asks the next question on the very same topic.
While Answering the second question, I brought in the point of my keen interest in varied project works, because my EDP was a strong point of my resume.
Tips: 1.Preparation and practice is a must2.Consistency is very very important.
3.Preparing questions to ask the interviewer at the end of the interview is also a must.
4.Practice in the form of saying out aloud also helps a lot.
General Tips: I wish you luck for whatever you choose to do in future.
Skill Tips: Stress more on the strong point of your resume.
