Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Understood the background of the company – the company is a global player and sells products everywhere except Middle East • Mainly in Hair Care and Personal Care categories
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: These are the steps that I took:
1)Understood the background of the company – the company is a global player and sells products everywhere except Middle East Mainly in Hair Care and Personal Care categories
My structure was:
Figure out the market size as follows – total population x % using these products x market share x average unit revenue / year o
Figure out cost to serve this market: Interviewer asked me to ignore this and focus on revenue o
Perform competitive analysis o Understand customers o Understand company competency o Understand regulations •
The interviewer liked my structure and we started by understanding the competition and customer before understanding the company and regulations. Finally, I did the market estimation.
Eventually my recommendation was to enter the market as there emerged a low-cost market (laborers) who could use our low-end products in a high-volume game.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: These are the steps that I took:
• Estimate the market size (units)
• Estimate the revenue per unit
• Estimate the growth in market each year to draw a 5 year plan
• Market size
o Start with India Population (households)
o Divide into income segments (to check affordability of owning a car)
o Figure out using poverty line and some other discussions, how many households can actually afford a car
o Then divided into new users and switchers
o Figured out how many new users and % of switchers / 2ndcar buyers
o Worked out the total demand for such cars in market
o Assumed some number for adoption in Year 1
o Evaluated the demand curve – expecting it to be convex with sales rising initially and then slowly flattening as competition comes in and market gets saturated.
o Based on this, predicted some unit sales per year with year 1 > year 2 > year 3 etc.
o Multiplied by constant price (for simplicity) to get revenues for 5 years. The interviewer liked my structure and my thoroughness. In particular he liked my demand curve insight.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: My 3rd company was Inductis. I gave 4 rounds of interviews for this company. In every round they asked me a puzzle and 1-2 HR question. In my first 2 rounds I successfully did my puzzle. Most of the puzzles asked can be easily found on internet. In my third round, I was not able to do the puzzle. It was a very complicated puzzle. And in my fourth round I successfully did my puzzle. Actually these people actually don't expect you to solve the puzzle completely in 10- 15 min they give you. They just want to see your thinking process. The mistake I made was that when I was not able to solve puzzle, I got nervous and didn't said a word for 10 minutes.
