Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Case: Samsung has come up to you with a business proposition i.e. they want to start an insurance company for electronic goods. How will you help them?
Analysis: The only thing they were looking was how you structure your analysis and your line of thinking.
I started with asking questions about the new business model to extract some information like target customers,, how is the value proposition different from a warranty, how much can Samsung expect to charge its customers for insurance.
My first step was to analyze the business model and establish the financial feasibility. This was followed by target customers – who are the target customers and are they sufficient to justify investment and why will they be interested in our product. Third step was to deal with operational issues of providing this product.
Case 2: A foreign bank wants to open its branch in India. They have hired you as a consultant. How will you approach this?
Analysis: My first step was to inquire about the bank. So I asked them about their current scale of operations, countries where they are operating, their market share and reputation among clients.
I then explored what are the different areas of banking where the bank can start its operations and based on the answers to above questions, narrowed down on 1 area.
Next step was to deal with operational issues, how they will start operations. I focused on 2 questions in this:
1. Who will be the customers immediately after starting?
2. How will be getting those customers and build trustworthy relationship with them?
After an approach was finalized to start operations, I also briefly discussed how they will proceed in short term to expand their business in India.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Case: You want to open a petrol pump. Proceed.
Analysis: In this case, my questions were not answered and I was told that it is your business, make necessary assumptions. So I took up 3-4 options like highways, a busy market in a city and similar other options. Then I followed a guesstimate approach for calculating the demand in these locations. Comparison of demand or revenues with investment gave me the best possible option for the petrol pump.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Case: A US car manufacturer wants to setup a plant in India. You are hired as a consultant. Help them.
Analysis:
I started with stating my assumptions to make sure that all of us are working in the same framework. My assumptions were:
1. They already export their cars to India: This helped me to simplify my case as now I am aware of my target customers and what is my position in the market. Also I know how my product is viewed in Indian market.
2. It is amongst the biggest car manufacturers of US: This simplified the problem of establishing trust among customers as the company was a big brand name and enjoyed a good position in the market.
So I started with the reasons of investing in India. Possible reason can be increase in demand and lost sales because imports are not able to meet demand or increase in competition and therefore for reducing costs, I have to operate in India rather than import my cars. I stated all the possible reasons and assumed one reason to be the valid one for further analysis. Let‟s say the reason is increase in competition.
So we have decided that the motive of investing in India is to reduce costs. Now next step was to decide on a location that will help me in this regard. So I looked at 2 possibilities for this.
1. My customers are uniformly spread throughout India. In this case, my only concern about the location will be investment costs i.e. cost of land, cost of setting up a plant etc. and the tax rebate that I will get from state government.
2. I have most of my customers located in a particular area. In this case, I must strike a balance between above mentioned investment costs and my logistics costs i.e. plant must be located close to my biggest market.
Since the reason for investing in India is increased competition, my last step was to analyze how I will use my cost savings to deal with competition. I analyzed pros and cons of different options mentioned below:
1. Increase my marketing budget to attract customers
2. Decrease prices by passing on the savings in manufacturing to customers
3. A mix of both the strategies
Tips: Case analysis is very important. Make sure that you prepare a structure and show them the structure of analysis before starting.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Case:A company which has a market share of 60% saw reduction in its revenue for last 3 years due to intense price competition. Competitors are reducing prices and the company is not able to compete since cost of production is higher than prices quoted by competitors. Machinery employed for production is old and labor costs have been rising over years. Customers have been very loyal to the product.
Analysis:I proposed that since machinery has not been replaced since years, quality of products has degraded. Secondly, competitors have reduced their prices by outsourcing it to countries like China.
Tips: Read case carefully
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Case 1:A multinational insurance company wants to enter into Indian market. They offer life insurance, general insurance and fire and damage insurance. Company has been offering insurance in its parent country through online mode.
Analysis:Analyse it by separating life insurance, general insurance and fire and damage insurance. Give inputs on mode of delivery (online mode is not very feasible in Indian scenario). Also, take into account role of brokers and agents in case of fire and damage insurance.
Case 2:A company wants to set up an automobile manufacturing unit in India. Do a cost-benefit analysis for the company. I was not allowed to ask questions in this round.
Analysis: I tried to analyse this case taking into account factors like location, government regulations, market size, availability of labor, transportation etc. ( Time limit : 3 minutes )
Tips: Ask questions and try to get as much information as possible. Communicate
your answers to interviewers and keep them involved.
