Your Opinion on the approach of the interviewers and their key focus |
Interviewers did not ask me any question on my previous work profile or my essays. No general questions such as Why ISB? What are your strengths? etc.
They focused on my current work and checked my passion and direction towards my career goal. |

A: Told them in detail- about the product and operations.
Follow-up Qn: What is your role in the start-up?

Follow-up Qn: You look so passionate about your present work. Why not continue doing this?
A: Told them that I was here for learning experience and set the terms with my brother (founder) before joining the start-up. He is the one who discussed about ISB and explained how it could help me get a business perspective.
