Meanwhile, a good interview experience!
P.S : Not mine. A friend's who is in IIM Lucknow now.
XYZ – Candidate
I, I’ – Interviewers
I: Please have a seat, how are you?
XYZ: I am fine sir, Thanks. (Sat with a thud in desk, felt bad)
I: You didn't sign the form? (I didn't even know I had to sign. I checked but couldn't find where, so I asked) Signed with the pen he gave.
I: You didn't even carry a pen?
XYZ: I have sir, It's here.
I: You know XYZ, every action that you make here makes an impression. Shouldn't you use your pen? (Cunning smile...understood they are stressing) I should have used. But since you gave it before, I thought it's the first thing you are offering. I should accept.
I: Do you know this person ABC? (I never heard of him, I felt lost) XYZ: No sir. I: You don't know him? Do you know Raghuram Rajan?
XYZ: Yes, sir. He was my alumnus!
I: What do you know more about him?
XYZ: He is the RBI governor. After IITD he did his MBA from IIMA. Was a topper there as well. He has been head at IMF and now RBI governor.
I: That's it! You don't even know him well. Who else do you know from your alumni?
XYZ: Well many. Most famous being Chetan Bhagat! He was from my hostel as well!
I: He is the most disgusting person I have ever known.
I’: You know; he was my student. Now, I feel I wasted my effort on such a student at IIMA. I: Total waste of nation's money!
XYZ: I don't feel saying like that sir. Personally... Because, if a man is able to earn a reputation in the society, it takes a lot of effort in that! There might be a reason why people don't know me but him. There is some kind of talent in him!
I: You would say that these Babaji...people know them as well. They have talent? I laughed loudly. In some sense, yes!
I: Talent is not a right word for that. Use something else. It's not how you define talent. I couldn't....so smiled.
I: You look so much changed from your pic here. Is it really you?
XYZ: I laughed. May be because of formals today, I’m looking different!
I: Why not IAS? People from Bihar does that?
XYZ: Yes, sir. There are a lot of aspirants there! But I don't yet feel like doing IAS. I feel good at my start-up.
I: You know Flipkart CEO resigned?
XYZ: No sir. It's Myntra CEO.
I: He tried to argue...I smiled. XYZ: What is this
I: But why
XYZ: Tried to explain...reason and logic behind the design Asked few more questions... He sounded not so convinced... and told I don't think you will be able to get this through. You are not understanding the situation well!
XYZ: Yes, sir. May be. That's the reason. I feel doing an MBA can be lot of improvement in my skills.
I: But what about this start-up then? will you be continuing it there as well?
XYZ: Honestly. I don't know sir. I am still struggling for funding. But will be able to decide only at a later stage. May be if time permits at the campus, I will continue.
I: You will not get time. Don't even think of that. I will not give grace marks even if you plead.
XYZ: I laughed. Okay sir, I will think about it.
I: What about other founder?
XYZ: Sir, He deferred his admission last year. So, he will be joining IIMA. Most probably.
I’: Tum bhi aa jana yaar. Kya karoge. Kya pata Agli baar CAT ni nikale tumse? I laughed.
I’: Would you like to meet us again?
XYZ: Yes of course. Where?
I: Where do you want?
XYZ: Campus would be better than interview panel. You may leave.
I’: No No. I am not finished yet! I: Ho gaya yaar!
I’: Bas last one? It's the most important one! You didn't mention Rajat Gupta? Do you know him?
XYZ: Yes, sir. He is also my alumnus. (grin)
I’: Why didn't you mention him?
XYZ: After Chetan Bhagat, I thought the panel might not appreciate a person caught in insider trading.
I’: No No... He is a masterpiece. Only few people who are super genius can do these things. He found a management failure. All of us can't do that. XYZ: Of course sir. McKinsey. Founder of ISB! (smile)
I: You can also do great things XYZ. There's nothing like failure! Better ideas keep coming!
XYZ: I never said I failed! I said I still have one month to try on funding.
Both: Ye nai manega! Chalo almonds khao. nikalo!
XYZ: Took and said thank you! It was nice meeting you! Perhaps, I will look the problem with better perspective.
I: Not "problem", "opportunity"
I bowed. Thank you.
