Business Analyst:

Internship Assignment
Congratulations on being shortlisted. You are requested to submit an assignment to qualify
for the final interview round.

To complete this assignment, the assignee would need to research and analyze data on
estimated sales of “Made in Japan” kitchen knives in India and their import patterns. The report
should include information on import trends, market size, market share, competition, pricing,
distribution channels, and consumer preferences.

The assignee can use various sources of data such as government reports, industry publications,
trade associations, market research reports, online marketplaces (Amazon & Flipkart), and
online databases to gather information.

It’s important to note that this assignment requires a significant amount of research and
analysis. The assignee should be prepared to spend time gathering data and analyzing it to
create a comprehensive report.

Some of the challenges that you are expected to overcome during the assignment are as follows:

• Data quality issues: The assignee may encounter data quality issues such as missing data,
incomplete data, or inaccurate data. It’s important to ensure that the data used in the report is
accurate and reliable.

• Integrating data from different sources: The assignee may need to integrate data from
different sources such as government reports, industry publications, trade associations,
market research reports, and online databases. This can be challenging as different sources
may use different formats and structures.

• Analyzing large amounts of data.

• Language and Search Engine Challenges

Project Hints:

• Japanese data with respect to export and other government reports can be utilized. Language
translation tools may be used. 

• The report may be submitted in PPT or PDF format. A combination of the two will also suffice. 
• Please mention the sources of information that you may be quoting. 
• A good way to go about the assignment will be to structure the content and visualize the
presentation. An index will be helpful. 

• A successful analysis should be able to give actionable. In this case, the person for whom the
report is being created is able to decide if selling Japanese knives in the Indian Market is a
good proposition and what inventory the person should be maintaining.
