Initially I was very confused as well as nervous , because my work ex was in entirely different industry as compared to my majors in my B.Tech and I was not sure that how will I be able to explain my change and also my reason to pursue an MBA while I was working in a startup. And also I was lucky that day , as the faculty from B.Tech wing of IIT Bombay was not present. I felt lucky because I literally was not sure about the B.Tech topics as it had been already almost 3 years since I graduated. My interview started with basic introduction , and in the start only I tried to direct my interview towards my latest job experience , that was in a E-commerce based startup. The panel also started to take interest in the same and the round of questions started related to the Startup world. The panel asked me about the different rounds of funding stages , what all problems we faced on the logistics and operations side. And also they asked the question that I was nervous about : Why did I switch from Maruti to Powerhouse 91. I think I was able to explain my sole reason that was I wanted a challenging environment and also that I wanted to chase the path of rapid growth rather than conventional growth. They also asked about my hobbies and interests and I think I was able to leave an impression in that front as well because I had represented my state in national level table tennis championship. And the interview ended with the panel understanding my reason to pursue MBA after experiencing working in a startup. The reason I wanted to pursue MBA was that I wanted to improve my skillset and develop more structured approaches.
