IIM Bangalore gd/pi experience..

Better late than never......puys here is my gd/pi experience at IIMB..
Date: 02nd april 2008..9am slot..
Venue: Kenilworth,Kolkata..

This was my best call..So,was a bit tensed bout it..Reached there at around 8:15..
I was having few probs in my college..
So,was a bit mentally disturbed......
Anyway,it was a learning experience for me.......

GD:
It was a case study..
8 ppl were present out of 9..
Got a frnd from my coll in that panel itself...

CASE STUDY:
It was bout a retail shop of America which has a lot of popularity in the market..The customers completely trust the products that the retail shop offers..Recently,the company started sourcing Chinese products as the profit of the company increases coz of the outsourcing..Now,another company Costco,which manufacture toys, has been brought to the court by the American customers because they has imported Chinese toys in which an illegal paint has been used..Now,what shd the retail shop do??If it stops sourcing from China suddenly,then it might effect the relationship with China..

DISCUSSION:
It was a very bad discussion..One guy was constantly speaking n not letting others speak..I tried to chip in once or twice but was cut very soon by him..He dominated the 15 mins..That is why the discussion went pathetic..
Now,the worst part is still there..We were given the papers to write down the 2 questions n the summary..Suddenly,one of the panelists pointed at me n asked me if i want to say anythin..Now,it was so DAMN UNEXPECTED that i kept quite..

PI:
I was 3rd in my panel..
So,wasnt a long wait..
