a. Questions
i. Where do you see yourself five years from now?
ii. Why did you choose to sit for this company?
iii. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
iv. You written that you’d prefer Bangalore or Hyderabad. Why? Do you have any problem
going to places like Gurgaon and Jaipur? Is speaking Hindi the problem?

b. Answers
i. Would have written the CFA exams. Hopefully would be close to Level 3, hopefully.
Would want to have a deep understanding about a variety of sectors. How they function
and all that, the intricacies. Till now, I’ve just been learning from textbooks. There’s a
limit to which they can teach you. So real-life learning is what I’m looking for.
Hopefully, would have been promoted to a good position in the company.
ii. Seniors gave a very good feedback about the company. So did industry people, family
and friends. Heard it’s a great place for a fresher to start. The environment is good, along
with the profile. So it suits me perfectly even though the package is on the lower side.
And if it’s closer to home, then great.
iii. Strengths: communication, writing, public speaking, working in harmony in groups…..
[some random stuff]
Weakness: Handwriting. It’s been bad for ages. But as every year passes by, technology
keeps improving and I find that the need for improving my handwriting keeps
diminishing. It’s kind of an inverse relationship.
iv. Only reason would be that it’s closer to home, Bangalore especially. Other than that,
nothing. No problem as such in going up north. But I wouldn’t prefer it. Would have
given Mumbai the first preference if the option was there. Even though it’s farther than
Bangalore, the place is fantastic. On many accounts. Personal life and professional life,
with it being the financial capital and all. Speaking Hindi is not the problem. In fact, I
came here and started speaking and learning Hindi. Till then, the only Hindi I spoke was
to the chaat wala in Kochi.
Interviewer: You came to Chennai and learnt Hindi???
Me: Yes, it’s only because the hostel was mostly full of people from outside the South. If
I may, I’d like to add this point to the previous answer, strengths.

Company Name : Kaynes Technology

1) Technical
a. What is Activity Based Costing?
It is the costing methodology where the activities in the organization is identified
and costing is done by evaluating the cost relation of activities and resources to
the products/services generated by the org
b. An assembly line consists of a sophisticated costly machine that embeds
components on to a board. The machine is worth 2 Crores. This process is
followed by manual chain of work that completes the product. As the manager of
this process, what will be your priorities?
Highest priority will be to avoid the down time of the machine. Arrange multiple
manual assemble line after the machine so that the machine capacity can be fully
utilized. Also have a standby operator trained for the machine so that the whole
process is not dependent on one individual. Further make sure that the planned
maintenance is carried out systematically to avoid sudden stoppage of the
machine.
c. Can you explain the concept of TPM?
Total Productive Maintenance or TPM is the method through which the machine
availability for production is increased. Here the operator is educated on the
working of the machinery and is assigned with the task of day-to-day maintenance
of the machine. Also he is taught to identify the early symptoms of major
problems so that he can report well in advance. Thus this method brings down the
down time of the machine drastically. In short, the operator is also part of the
maintenance team.
2) H.R
a. Please introduce yourself.
b. Are you location specific?
My ambition is to have a career in operations. Since the company is offering pure
operations profile, this is a huge opportunity for me to start my career. So I am
glad to work in any location offered to me.
c. How will you start the work upon joining a company?
On joining the company, I believe the first step will be to learn the processes and
procedures. The practical angle of how things are been done has to be learned.
Through the learning, I would adapt myself to the organization and then follows
the question of how I can contribute to the value creation.
d. What do you think will be your take away from our company?
Through the MBA course I am doing, I am getting the theoretical knowledge on
operations of a company. But I need practical experience to better understand
these theories put in action. I am looking forward for this knowledge experience
at Kaynes. Being a SME, I am sure kaynes can give me hand on experience on all
processes in the manufacturing.
