Round: Guesstimate Interview
Experience: The interviewer was quite impressed by my way of presenting the numbers and estimates and also with the parameters I considered for solving the puzzle. I divided the population of India into different age-groups and regions (urban, rural) and then analyzed the approximate figure. As he is a Pakistani Singer so I considered the population of Pakistan and Arab countries as well. All this I presented in the form of a table.

Round: Technical Interview
