Sample Answer
Let’s say we have an underperforming lead-to-opportunity process. I’d start by mapping the current state in Lucidchart with the SMEs: every step from lead creation to qualification, including systems and handoffs. Then I’d pull 6–12 months of data, either from a CRM export or with simple SQL—things like lead source, timestamps for key stages, owner, and outcome. I’ll calculate conversion rates and cycle times by stage and segment. In one project, this showed a 48-hour average lag between SDR assignment and first contact. I validated that in interviews and quick ticket sampling. Root cause turned out to be unclear routing rules and overloaded reps. We piloted new routing logic and a simple SLA dashboard; within eight weeks, time-to-first-touch dropped from 48 to 10 hours and lead-to-opportunity conversion went up 14%. I quantified impact by tying that uplift to average deal size and win rate, which translated to about $1.2M in annualized pipeline.

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.
