  • Q1. Your client is a consumer goods company in Vietnam. You have to advice them how to maximize their potential in the next 5 years

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Interview
Experience: Vietnam threw me off, but it wasn't rather relevant. Don't let a random case scare you, which you think doesn't fall in the standard profitability/market entry category.
Tips: 1. Clarify the problem statement always. What does maximize potential mean? Revenue/Sales?
2. Think broadly. Cover all possible internal/external factors, mention them even if you think they aren't important, show the interviewer that you thought it at least.

General Tips: Practise! Revise cases that you do. Make a separate book for your buddy cases and for practise cases.Note learnings from every case separately.Dont try fitting every case in a structure, will not work on the final day.Try practising random cases (what bid should ESPN file for Olympic viewing rights?) as it helps broaden your thought process
Skills: Lateral Thinking
College Name: IIT DELHI
Motivation: The people seemed great!
