Dear Maam,

We have two queries regarding the BE-1 group assignment submission which is to be submitted on
6th-Oct-2017.

1. Regarding the word limit, previously it was discussed about 1500 words excluding
appendices. Is the word limit (1500) for both topics included or for each topic?
2. Should we submit the assignments has two separate documents on e-kosh (ie two links for
submissions will be created) or we should submit both the topics in single document.

We request you to clarify these questions. Thank you.

Hi Ronak. I think as per L&T OutThink website, we are qualified for the Second round. The website

(next Sunday). I am posting the questions here, with concept part of the question highlighted. We
can delegate among ourselves. If can finish the delegation part today and start working, we could
finish earlier and better.

6. Describe the product/service package. Describe various *levels of product/service and what stage
of PLC* is this brand in? Why?

7. What do you think is the pricing strategy followed by the brand? Can you apply *behavioral
pricing* to the brand?

8. How is brand delivered to the customers? Elaborate the *channel & distribution strategy*

9. Describe *6M communications strategy* for the brand? Critically analyze the communication
strategy.

10. Draw the customer activity cycle to identify value gaps and critically evaluate the *marketing
plan* and give your recommendations for the brand over next 3 years.

Most of the questions can be worked on independently. Except for 10th question where we need
write based on answers to previous questions.

With respect to the telephonic conversation, I herewith attaching my resume for your reference.
Given my work experience and skills, I hope my you could find a challenging role in your Product
Engineering team for me. Looking forward to hear from you. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Maira,

It gives me an immense pleasure to be in a conversation with you. I am Sundaram, a PGDM Year-1
participant and I will be representing the group of 10 students who are eagerly waiting for an
opportunity to interact with you on the subject of ethics. This is part of our course Ethics in
Business, which is led by Mr. Jagdish Rattanani.
My understanding from your previous conversations in email trail is that you have no plans so far to
visit Mumbai in December 2017. Could you please let me know if you will be available in Mumbai
either in January 2018 or the first week of February 2018 and take out some of your valuable time
for us?
If required, I can share you the brief profile of the 10 participants who want to meet you.
Thank you.
