Round: Case Study Interview Experience: Case Details: Case 1 : This was a typical ops case. A few pokes made me realize this is a local company, a govt body, is suffering from loss of customers due to long time of processing leading to frustration. The guy kept repeating the fact that most of the application did not need any house survey by the officers but still they used to continue with the process (This was a hint). Poke him more he will give u the entire process flow: 1 . Receive 2. Documentation 3. Survey 4. Permission 5. Fee collection 6. Approval 7. Installation. Poke him more he will come out with the time on each process. It was found points1 , 2, 5, 6 dint take much time. 3, 4, 7 were the time consumers. 4, 7 nothing could be done. Zeroed on 3. Final solution: make categories of applications basis survey requirement. A: Needs survey as it is close to bridges, lakes, rivers etc. B: does not require survey as it is in plain lands. Find indicators to sort out such applications 1 . Maps 2. Customer questionnaire 3. Experience from old customers. Case 2: Typical micro-eco case. Supply overpowers demand. Prices will fall, profits will go down. Hell will let loose upon the farmers. Solution: 1 . Store it to sell in future = So then think of storage cost + lost of quality + Loss of moisture in the fruit 2. Any sort of value addition possible = 1 . Pulp 2. Ketchup 3. Juices & Squash etc Case3: That was an easy one, I know u ppl will crack it Case 4: I messed up with this case. Asked the preliminary questions on the current company ops, why they wanted to expand, and particular revenues targets etc. I dint lay out a structure as such and came out with random variables 1 . Size, demo, populations of Islam, income slabs, requirement etc. Missed out on a very big point and that was govt regulations which was declared to me in the end. Tips: It’s a telecom – so they are not checking your paper. Too much of silence is dangerous, u have to engage them all the time. Be very clear with your pronunciation, diction voice modulations as he is not seeing u gesticulate. Be loud.
Round: Personal Interview Experience: Questions asked: 1 . Why consultancy? 2. Why ADL? 3. Long term plans. The asked a number of brain teasers – which are short shouldn’t take more than 3-4 minutes I had a good rapport with interviewers. Picked up the hints well. Was honest if I got stuck. Dint maintain long silence over the phone.Messed up the brain teasers because I was pretty much caught unaware most of the time. The last round’s brain teaser was made to be mailed to me to the partner, and it had to be done on 10 minutes!! Tips: ADL needs separate and an early preparation than the rest as the rounds start early than the actual placements.
