TISS GDPI-1

Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) GDPI Experience:

Candidate: Neha Chavan
Date: 12th March, 2011


Group Discussion:
For GD we had a case study about Emami's latest launch of a fairness cream for men for which they had roped in Shahrukh Khan for it's ad campaign.. The ad depicted that fair skin can get a person both a successful career and the girl of his dreams. This has not gone down well with majority of Indians since most of them are brown skinned.. They are of the opinion that this promotes racial discrimination.. What do u think about it .. ??

Personal Interview:

• So what did the person who just went out tell you about the questions being asked? 
• I told about the I Kherlanji massacre and "why do u want to shift from Engg to HR ?" questions that the guy before me was asked .. (Mentioning Kherlanji here was my biggest mistake .. ) 

• So what do u know about the Kherlanji case?
• Why do u think you should take HR ? Please don't say that you are good at dealing with people, you are good at motivating people...
