Tried entering IN but DOOR shut :(

well my last inerview and me was wanting that it gets done with fast... and as we say Pranav Proposes God Disposes/... I was called in last for the PI...

GD was a Case Study abt
3 guys - Mr. Hirendra (GM Fin), Mr. Gopalan Nair (VP Fin), Mr. Mohan (Chief of operations) of TL Ltd, a construction company. The company is building a plant for Bikes Ltd. If the plant is operational before the 31st March, then Bikes Ltd will get tax benefits. Mr. Gopalan is also the brother in law of the MD of Bikes Ltd. Now the project is running successfully in Feb. Some load shedding was anticipated in march. currently 3 power generators were being used. mohan estimated that if the power did fail, 10 more will be needed. so mr hirendra suggested hiring these 10 generators. however since the project was executing well, the company did not hire all the 10. hirendra was out of station when suddenly there was power failure in march. in the meantime, the corporate office had already shifted one of the generators to some other site as all were not being utilised here. gopalan tried to hire the required 10 generators but could only get 7 as there was shortage of generators since this load shedding was anticipated. so he issued funds to purchase the remaining 4 generators. the project was compeleted on time. in the board room meeting, hirendra got angry with gopalan as to why did he spend extra on the project when he could have rented more generators or shifted some from the valsad plant in gujarat. Hirendra is higher up in the hierarchy compared to Gopalan. What are the issues and what should be done to resolve them?








WEll to put it mildly... the GD was slowwww and uninteresting... No one started and I had to start ..... A lot of times no one would speak so I had to speak.. this was a disadavantage for me as I ended up speaking quite a lot and not sure how the panel marked taht.....

Overall content of GD was good and nothng more would be done... NO MASALA CASE Yaar1!!!


NExt the endless wait for the PI.. I dont know why IIM Indore decided that they will call students in random order... It did not make any sense and all students were sitting hoping they would be next...
