GD:
Topic: Paper less office is a reality or not

Number of Ppl present : 12
Time: 14 mins (1 min for thinking, 12 mins for discussion and 1 min to conculde..we were notified when to start and also when to summarize the discussion by the panelists)

Brief Snapshot of Discussion: As some of the earlier slot guys' GD got scrapped, ours was not a fish market. Almost everyone pitched in. I had two or three points to say. An avg performance

My slot was at 3.30 pm, but it began at 5.45pm..so every interview was going at a lightning pace ..each guy was interviewed for 5mins max.

PI:
Panel Members Intro : Two Senior Lady Professors(L1, L2) and a male professor(M)
L2: Good evening, have a seat...You now have to say about a topic for 1 min. We'll give you ten seconds to gather your thoughts. your extempore topic is "Optimism". Are you comfortable with that
Me: Yes ma'am, no problem..And I give a decent attempt, though I ended it 5-10 secs before the time expired.
L2: You still have time
Me: Sheepishly..but I have already concluded ma'am
L2:(Laughing): Ok, No problem
L2: So, optimism is like baking powder in a cake. Do you agree
Me: Yes ma'am, in the sense that Optimism is a very important component in anyone's life just as baking powder is an important component in preparing cake
L2: Ok, so we are now in a period of depression
Me: Economic depression madam?
L2: No no, people are very depressed in general. So, what would you suggest to counter that.
Me: In my opinion, one of the biggest causes of depression is lack of personal interactions. So, I'd suggest a method where people get to spend more time with people, family. Also, in companies there must be some fun filled team activities so that depression can be alleviated to some extent atleast.
L2: ok
L1: So, do you know what CSR is?
Me: Yes madam, Corporate social responsibility
L1: Tell me some examples of CSR
Me: Surely ma'am, more recently, Wipro chairman Azim Premji has pledged around 2 billion for social causes and similarly Warren Buffett has an organization that takes care of many social activities, I dont recall the name . Also, Bill Gates along with his wife are trying very hard to fight against AIDS.
L1: Ok ok, (she asks some other question which I dont remember, but was able to answer)
L1 hands over to M
M: Asks some question and asks if I heard of that.
Me: No sir, I dont know about it
M: So, do you think if CSR is important for development of a country
Me: Yes sir, its very much important and for a deveoping country like opurs, it becomes much more important. India is a country with the most people below poverty and the rich giving away some money for the welfare of these people is good. For the overall development of a country, CSR is essential.
M: ok..looks at L1
They both nod signalling that the interview is over and asked me to leave.
I thanked them and left the room.


Description of the process: The most unorganized organization(no disrespect, but its the glaring truth). The panelists were very amicable though.

Surprises(if any) add Overall Experience-Be ready for long waits..I reiterate this again!!

Verdict- a direct convert(rank 66)
