Sample Answer
One project I almost always mention is a cross-functional initiative where I was asked to fix a process that was frustrating both customers and internal teams. Support tickets on this flow had grown 40% year over year, and NPS for that touchpoint was down to 18. I pulled together a working group from ops, product, engineering, and finance and mapped the end-to-end journey. We found three handoffs where ownership was unclear and data wasn’t consistent. Over four months, we redesigned the workflow, simplified approvals, and introduced a single source of truth dashboard. Ticket volume dropped by 35%, NPS climbed to 42, and we freed up roughly 1,200 hours per year of manual work. I highlight this example because it shows how I operate: I like messy, cross-team problems, I anchor on data, and I focus on outcomes that both customers and internal stakeholders can feel.

Walk me through a recent multi-channel digital marketing campaign you managed end-to-end. How did you set objectives, choose channels, allocate budget, and measure success?
Based on your hydrology and irrigation engineering background, explain how you would estimate the irrigation water requirement for a kharif crop in a semi-arid region of Gujarat. 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.
In your resume you note improving or optimizing [a process, KPI, or metric]. What specific baseline metrics did you start from, what steps did you personally take, and how did you verify that the improvement was due to your changes rather than external factors?
On your resume you mention working on a cross-functional project (e.g., involving multiple teams or stakeholders). Describe a situation from that project where priorities conflicted—how did you navigate the trade-offs and what was the final outcome?
