*Interrupted by P3*
P3: Sorry to interrupt to you Ramraj, are you alone in these initiatives or you have a team.
Me: Ma’am Ideas are given by me and in few cases; some other people helped me in the process.
P3: How?
Me: Like that, I proposed a Tagline for the Tata Prima Trucks. Tata Prima truck many features are there like Armrest, Adjustable Seats and others. These features will improve the comfort of the drivers and productivity will increase. To consider all these I proposed a Tagline “Drive with Comfort” or “Comfort Unlimited” and subsequently our marketing team improved on this and outcome was “Higher Productivity with Improved Comfort and Fleet Utilization”.
P3: How did you come across this?
Me: Ma’am I attended a workshop regarding this and I came to know about the various features of Tata Prima truck. I searched for the marketing way (tagline) of this. To understand it further I did a survey..
*Interrupted by P3*
P3: What were the survey questions?
Me: Explained the questions.
P3: Who were the people?
Me: Ma’am it includes the Drivers, Owners and Fleet Owners.
P3: Where did you do the survey?
Me: Ma’am Transport Nagar Pune. It is the logistics hub of Pune.
P4: So Ramraj, What was your final year project?
Me: Ma’am we designed a High Speed and Power Efficient Viterbi Decoder.
P4: What did you do in this project?
Me: In this Project, we used a GDIL (Gate Diffused Input logic) technique to reduce the complexity of Viterbi Decoder and this decoder has three Units: 1. Branch Metric Unit (BMU): to calculate the distance of various branches. 2. Path Metric Unit (PMU): to add all the distance and determine the best possible path. 3. Traceback Unit (TBU): PMU store the values in TBU and for the next operation can determine the path from TBU itself. TBU work like a cache memory for the faster operations.
*P4 left the room*
P2: Tell me about your work profile.
