The idea of working alongside some of the best digital marketers to help customers attain their
marketing dream is most exciting. Also working in a stimulating & vibrant work environment, the
chance to stay on a learning curve is equally exciting when I think of Growisto. Not to forget that
Growisto can provide me an opportunity to take up diverse responsibilities which I’m looking
forward to.
I think I'll fit in quite well in Growisto due to the qualities I’ve amassed through my current job role
as team manager & associate project manager like customer first attitude, proactive problem
solving skills. Adeptness in forecasting risks and taking actions to mitigate the same. Ability to be
detail oriented while not losing sight of the bigger picture. Also the curious nature that keeps me
on my toes and the fact that I keep learning.
2. How do you define success and how would you measure it?
I define success subjectively. Professionally I’d define success as putting in my best efforts in
achieving the desired goal while being constantly curious. Like this one time i felt accomplished
when i was able to deploy new network at 500 stores of a customer within 4 months where the
projected deadline was of 6 months. I believe delivering customer satisfaction as a consistent part
of measuring professional success. Putting a smile on a consumer’s smile is one of the happiest
feeling for me. Success is in delivering more than the expectation.
Personally I’d define success as doing things that would impact the people around me in a positive
way. Creating a product or business that would empower the community is also an idea that pops
up when I think of personal success. My role as a team manager also affords me the chance to
mentor young folks by cultivating an inquisitive nature in them, advising them about how to
maintain a logical & analytical approach, also ensuring enhancement of their ability to accept
constructive criticism from everyone is my mantra to personal success. However having said that I
definitely think success is an incremental parameter that gets moulded as per the person’s
perception & experience.
Coming to measurement of success, I feel my measuring parameters are more dependant on
intangible factors such as experience accumulated through the journey of all achievements &
hardships suffered in order to derive the required result. I think success can be measured in ability
to handle challenging situations when the odds are stacked against me. I like to analyse my
decision making, level headedness in retrospect.I’m well aligned with the practice of taking actual
feedback of mentors, coworkers & subordinates in order to measure my success.
3. Total number of weddings in India in a year?
Since I have to guess the weddings in India, I’ll start with the population count of India.
India's Current Population = 1.285 Billion
Let’s assume that people are linearly distributed from 1 year to 80 years old. People usually tend
to get married at 20-30 years of age(taking a broad educated guess). I have taken this window
targeting the rural landscape as well.
So, no.of people in 20-30 years of age will be = (10/80)* 1.285 Billion
=160 million
But as we already know that India has comparably large youth population and there is a tiny
fraction that gets married beyond 20-30 years of age. I would increase this figure to 180 million.
Since marriage is dependent on the female population and India professes to have an average sex
ratio of 900 in 1000 males.
Calculating by this approach (0.9/(1+0.9))*180 million = 85.2 million female population that gets
married.
I have to assume that each person gets married only once and then after reaching the appropriate
answer I’ll introduce an error of 2% in the calculation since few people India go for second
marriages.
Also, it will be safe to assume a linear distribution in age people get married since it is greater than
26 in urban areas and less than 26 in rural areas.
So, the total marriages will be 85.2 / 10 = 8.52 million marriages.
Now adding an approximate error of 2% as mentioned above = 8.7 million marriages in an year.
