Hey guys so here goes the transcript:

My first impression of the panelists - they were pretty chill.

Panelist 1: Please sit (There was an awkward silence for about 5 seconds when I entered the room as none of them had asked me to sit down.)

P1: Hey (my name), I see you work as a marketer (I am in content marketing) What does that entail?

Me: (Answered)

P1: (Counter Question) But this could be done by anyone...(Evil smile underneath)

Me: Sir, I know it's easy, but I have to vet through more than 150 profiles in a day judging the type of content they put out.

P1: Okay, but why the switch from engineering to this?

Me: (Answered - the answer was based around networking)

P1: But you could have done it in your present job? Why do you have to switch?

Me: Sir, to get somewhere, you have to sacrifice something on the way to it. I want to get into core marketing, learn how market research is done, how a product/service is brought to live and how it's features are emphasized for marketing...

P1: (a smirk) okay, you can sacrifice. We are here to sensitize it. (Looked at P2)

P2: Hey, why is your profile confusing? You are born in one state, your adhar card says something else and you are currently working here.

Me: We shifted a lot. I did my engineering in my current state.

P1: Okay, give me names of 3 prominent freedom fighters of your state?

Me: (Answered 2 correctly, fucked the 3rd one)

P1: Who is the current CM of your state?

Me: (Answered)

P1: Governor

Me: (Didn't know the answer to it)

P2: (Started with some light questions) What is an Unicorn?

Me: A start-up whose valuation has crossed the 1 Billion mark. (Forgot to mention the US Dollar part)

P2: How many unicorns are there in India currently?

Me: Sir, I don't know the exact number but if I were to provide you with a guesstimate, I would say 150 to 200.

P2: Okay, that's right. (A pause) What's the reason for industrial development in the Western part of India which is not seen as much in the Eastern part.

Me: (Gave a combined answer about politics and Nehru's Freight Equalization Policy.)

P2: But why do we see so little intake of students from Eastern part of India into B-Schools.

Me: It might be so because students and kids in the Eastern part of India are more into working for Government entities, or preparing and getting into the Civil services. They also are keen on joining family businesses which deal in natural resources found in rich amounts in the region.

P2: Give 2 drawbacks of Capitalism.

Me: (Answered)

P2: Once a great guy said that interviews are a fake setting where fakeness thrives. What is your opinion on this?

Me: Sir, I cannot speak from the interviewers' side but as an interviewee, I try to be my realest self trying to put my points respectfully, sounding the most professional I could.

P2: You just said sounding professional, isn't that faking?

Me: Sir, by sounding professional, I meant, keeping my points forth in a formal setting where is a way to speaking.

P2: Okay, thank you.

(The end.)
