He specifically discussed Consulting and Finance as career choices and cracked wide open the various related case study frameworks and topics whose knowledge is essential for a consulting/finance interview.

According to Chainani, “Interviews can be tricky and the focus should be given to the knowledge required for the particular field a student chooses also keeping in mind in their personality development and in their decisions which plays a very important role in shaping their future”. 

The floor was then opened to doubts and questions where Chainani addressed and clarified all the queries of the students, ranging from the presentation of one’s resume to campus-placement fundamentals.
