The basic HR questions were the major focus with more focus on sales experience I had. Second round was with GM- Talent Acquisition in Gurgaon. It was also based on FMCG sales experience I had and the accomplishments I have made. Third round was President-Packaging Business on VC and Head for talent acquisitions.
