Technical Group Presentation
So, PhonePe came to our campus for the Graduate Trainee hiring. They were looking for folks with skills in SQL, Python, Excel, and good analytical and problem-solving abilities. The process involved an Online Test, followed by a Group Discussion, and then two rounds of Personal Interviews. Over 600 people took the Online Test, which had aptitude questions like Data Interpretation, Profit & Loss, Probability, Puzzles, and Grammar. It was kinda easy to medium difficulty. About 60 of us got shortlisted for the GD, and I was one of them. My GD topic was 'Will OTT platforms dominate over traditional platforms?' The discussion went on for about 25 minutes with 8-12 panelists. It was a good learning experience to share my thoughts in a competitive setting. Sadly, I didn't clear the GD round, but it was a great learning opportunity. It showed me areas to work on and how to prep better for future placements.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Discuss whether OTT platforms will take over traditional platforms.

The interview process involved 5 rounds. First was an Online Assessment (OA) with aptitude and reasoning questions of easy to medium difficulty. This was followed by a Group Discussion (GD) where we were split into groups of 10. My topic was "Digital lending - boom or curse". After that, there was another technical round involving guesstimates and logical thinking, and finally, two HR rounds.

- Consider apps such as Zomato and Swiggy. If, in a specific city, the consumer percentage experienced a sudden drop in a particular month, what reasons might explain this?
