Name an instance where you wanted something and went out of your comfort zone to achieve it OR Tell us the biggest risk you have taken so far in your life.
When I was working for L&T MHPS Boilers Pvt. Ltd., I had just joined the company in Jan 2020. Two projects were going in full swing at the time I joined. As soon as I joined, I was asked to complete the structural design of elevator for structural boiler support. I had worked on steel design structures before but at a very smaller scale. It was much more complex than that. I was given a deadline to complete. I said yes after considering how I might complete it on time. If I had delayed the submission, the work would have been delayed at site and would have resulted in loss for the company. It was a calculated risk. To do that structure on time, I had to interact with my new team a lot to understand whenever I got stuck. I worked late and I studied the concepts after job. With continuous hard work of 15 days, I was able to submit the structure design on time. I got praise for that from my manager.
When was the last time someone relied on you? OR What did you do which was purely for someone else - a truly selfless act?
In April 2022, we went for one week Meghalaya trip- A group of 7 friends in total. Since I am studying at IIM Shillong, Meghalaya, I took the initiative of planning everything i.e., which places to visit, where to stay, how many days should be the trip, keeping the budget in mind and ensuring maximum fun for money spent. I did thorough research online and talked to my batchmates who had already visited those places. I prepared itinerary and shared with everyone and when everyone was satisfied, I booked the driver for the trip. It was the the best trip for me and some of my friends.
Tell us about a time when you disagreed with an opinion/idea/decision. What did you do about it?
I once disagreed with my manager about the deadline he was giving for the design of a structure. Rather than question his authority in front of everyone, I talked to him off of the floor. I was open and honest about the problems I had with the deadline. I knew that resource constraints were there and the design was going to take more time than he was allotting to me. I was disagreeing to the decision because I didn't want to miss the deadline. After listening to my concerns and request, he extended the deadline by three days. I gave my 100% and completed the design on time. My manager was happy with my performance.
What is the one thing you can claim to have some level of expertise or depth of knowledge in - it could be anything - a subject, a sport, a hobby, a venture, an initiative that has led you to do deep work in that field?
Engineering design(Steel & RCC) are two fields which I can claim to have depth of knowledge. I worked for 5 years as a civil design engineer. I have designed complex steel structures like Boiler steel support structures and RCC Structures like Pile cap, pile foundation, GIS foundation. I have designed retaining structures, building designs, foundations etc. I have working knowledge of AISC, BS and IS standards. Apart from this, I have designed from own house and did some freelancing work as well in the field after leaving job for MBA.
If 10 Million Dollars (approximately INR 75 Crores) is given to you to use it any way you deem fit what would you do with this corpus?
I'd like to divide it into five sections. First, I want to spend 5% of my income on purchasing a home and a car for my parents, which they have put on hold while I finish my studies. I'd like to give them these items. Following an analysis of current market trends, I intend to invest the 20% of amount in stocks. The remaining 50% I intend to invest in developing my own startup, utilizing current technology(Industry 4.0- drones, AI) to help the farmers to increase their income in a sustainable manner. The remaining 20% of the funds will be invested in the education and health sectors for those in need so that they can grow and create their own futures. The remaining 5%, I would like to save for emergencies situation in the form government security(much lesser risk)
