Sample Answer
At a previous company, our COO asked me to “fix onboarding” because customer NPS in the first 30 days had slipped below 40. That was the entire brief—no scope, no deadline. Rather than spinning my wheels, I booked a 30‑minute working session with her and came in with a one‑page strawman: three possible focus areas, a rough 8‑week timeline, and a simple success metric (NPS +10 and 20% fewer day‑30 churns). We used that to clarify that the priority was digital onboarding for our smallest 2,000 customers. From there, I interviewed five CSMs, pulled three months of support tickets, and mapped the top five friction points. I tackled the highest‑impact, lowest‑effort fixes first: simplifying the welcome email, adding in‑app checklists, and a short video walkthrough. Within two months, day‑30 NPS went from 38 to 52, and early churn in that segment dropped by 18%. I shared a short before‑and‑after dashboard so leaders could see the impact clearly.

Walk me through each step: from reference evapotranspiration estimation, crop coefficient selection, effective rainfall calculation, to arriving at canal discharge for a given command area.
In your civil engineering studies, what specific design coursework or project work did you complete related to irrigation channels or canals (e.g., design of lined/unlined canals, distributaries, minors)? Describe one such design in detail, including how you determined discharge, permissible velocity, section dimensions, and lining choice for Gujarat-type soil and climate conditions.
