Q. What do you look for in a student when you hire from campus?
When we hire from campus, I look for a bunch of things in a student. Namely their all-roundedness in character, world-view perspectives, high professional will and personal humility, sense of conviction, and passion to make a difference.
Q. What is your favorite question to ask a candidate during an interview?
The one question I always ask is “What about the world worries you? If you had a chance to set it right, how would you go about it?”

An ideal campus recruiter is one who, through the various organisational offerings and initiatives, is able to judiciously balance the expectations of young talent in this ever changing age, with the organisation’s imperatives and principles.
Q. What do you see as some of the emerging trends in the campus recruiting space?
That would be methods and instruments that encourage and enable identification of talent whilst in their natural routine, and not within the created environs of GDs, case presentations, formal interviews, etc.
