Tell your host to shut up when guest is taking

[@ruthvik_kittur]

It would be more better and interesting if the host could avoid interrupting the guest when he is talking. Let the guests complete!!

[@flyinghigh9900]

So irritating of the host to interrupt and trying to act smart.

[@Logocentrism.9801]

Yes

[@varundabi9252]

Exactly, I was just going to comment this!

[@akhilkumarpradhan3550]

Yup totally agree,

[@anaghatiwari5406]

This guy is interrupting too much

[@ashutoshmishra1981]

Hi All, I am the one being interviewed here. I think the point about the interruptions is well made by multiple audience in comments section. What is done is done and Paul would have got the feedback for his future sessions. Learning is a part of life. So, would request all to now focus on the content and the organisers seem to have taken care of this issue in the second part video...Hope you find the content useful. Many thanks for your kind feedback on the quality of tips/information. Cheers!

[@yashk4051]

Hello sir just to mention I had shared my story n struggle of mechanical engineer who hates the underpaid and at same time hardworking jobs I stay at lalbaug, Mumbai and was surprised when you mentioned that you stay in near Parel I hope I could meet you someday and have a chat around with you and could learn few things 🙏🏻

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

Thanks Ashutosh for giving your valuable inputs here.

[@Aa-tg7hx]

Eagerly waiting for the next episode

[@bhavik_sarkhedi]

Well, he did the same with the interview of Mr.Harsh too recently

[@alindsharma8109]

Purgnanshu needs to learn a lot. The constant interruptions are just dumbing down the discussions. The speaker was definitely not able to completely explain his story because of that.

[@satyammishra8324]

Correct

[@iamthebestenglish9554]

Correct

[@contrastentertainment1749]

I noticed that tooo

[@SKY-ct7px]

Interviewer is so irritating...try to impress nd show hav a knowledgeable person...he has to be some patience...

[@flyinghigh9900]

Yes he looked really stupid doing that trying to act smart and funny.

[@aptitudeninja]

This interviewee is so senior and well experienced, why did Ankit Doshi not handle this interview personally?

[@shreyashah7430]

honestly he is a terrible host. not at all humble

[@bharatbhaskaronkarnath]

Yeah, I've been noticing that lol

[@sureshchand6601]

Just listen to the answer completely and then you can raise your dout or have a discussion. This was the basic thing you(host) should learn first

[@new_preneur]

When guests come down to have a chat, have the decency to not interrupt.

[@namanbhayani1016]

This host is super irritating. Why are you interrupting the guest so much.. Bhai Tera bhi interview Le lenge alag se, abhi Inko baat karne do.

[@user-eu4tq4ow6n]

Finally someone said what I wanted to hear. Ethical acts do count, so many illegal, unethical things going on, but people like these give you hope

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

Absolutely, Rightly said. watch all our Konversations Cafe videos here: appopener.com/yt/tvwouucil

[@aptitudeninja]

There is no point in replacing Ankit Doshi from the Interviewer Seat.

[@rahulanand7315]

Host interrupted a lot, need better listening skills

[@Cipher_16]

bhai people are saying that u are interrupting too much and they aren't even wrong. You should learn from their comments rather than ignoring it .... u are simply praising the people who are loving your interruptions.

[@raygunfreefire6058]

abe kitna interupt krta host. shaant betha kro thoda

[@sssssssss1711]

The interviewee is such a good orator but the interviewer is making it so hard to watch by his continuous interruption.

[@shoaibmohammad8114]

Host ko orchestra pe vhejo

[@kushalmungi]

Host is impatient and pathetic...looks like he's come to play dandiya...disgusting video just because of the interviewer...

[@subhasisbandyopadhyay1789]

very humble , genuine interview, lot to learn

[@incredible2747]

why is this interviewer not letting him complete?????

[@srichandanmishra9313]

Well if you have invited someone to speak let them complete what they have to say, the host is interrupting too much, Inside iim should give the host's seat to someone experienced when you are interviewing someone who is this much experienced in corporate field.

[@shubhamnimje419]

Dafaq dude! Interviewer needs to chill. Let the man speak for himself. Don't interrupt him. Just watched 3 min of video and the host has interrupted him 3 times😑

[@whatdafuq4648]

Yaar, Agli bar koi Aisa interviewer lao jo Har bar interrupt na kare

[@Gauravkumar-ih3xh]

The anchor is not good he is interrupting Ashutosh when he tells in flow

[@harshitsinha7953]

Kya ghatiya host kasam se 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾

[@rishabhrautela8591]

This interview could have been more insightful until you hadn't interrupted. You disrupted his flow. Hats down to the level of patience of the guest ! He kept ignoring you.

[@shivamanand3908]

For God's sake don't interrupt while the guest is still speaking. I felt awkward watching the host interrupt so imagine what the guest might have felt.

[@Aa-tg7hx]

Looking forward to watch second episode ASAP

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

[@yashk4051]

Being mechanical engineer who is interested in finance and tryna become day trader i could relate to him so very well In mechanical hardcore it is very difficult to get a job itself on top of it the guy made it to tata power which in itself is big achievement Even I hate the fact that we work hardcore field doing all the dirty work and get paid less where as normal guys getting more working for a stupid IT job Even I aspire to do MBA at some point of life (just in 3rd y as of now) and get onto the trading desk of mnc banks Ps- i stay at lalbaug, Mumbai next to place where he mentioned (Parel) Hope we meet someday 🤞🏼

[@independentindependent6680]

I hope you make to wherever you want to.

BS interviewer, great interviewee

[@sinbycosi2813]

I am actually lurking here for help. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Here's my story - academic score is great overall 9.5 CGPA in boards (science PCM) 10th, 12th, And 7.5 CGPA in my BSc and MSc Physics. Work experience of 1 year but had to quit this year for personal reasons - I have taken a few CAT mocks out of curiosity and seems like I can crack some baby IIMs if I work really hard. But unfortunately, I have no side projects or certifications in this field. Business administration is completely new to me but tech is not. I have a few certifications in tech. Do you think I can get through based on my background? Will the gap year impact be too harsh even if I score a good percentile?

[@piyushpawar3811]

Took me till 15:45 to realise the derivatives he's talking about aren't the ones from calculus

[@soumyajitmondal220]

Same here

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

We guess you're a PCM guy! You can watch all our Konversations Cafe videos here: bit.ly/3LY2YRz

[@yashk4051]

Comon mans he's no scientists He is finance guy..you should know it's not definitely calculus...it's fut n opt thing

[@siddharthsinha1330]

It is indeed similar ! Derivates, as he said derives its values from some other variable, just like in calculus. Derivatives in finance is clearly an use-case of derivation in mathematics, and completely related !

[@nitishverma001]

Please bring good hosts...

[@Harshraj-mp8jg]

Mr Paul, it would have been much better if u hadn't interrupted unnecessarily, let the guest speaker speak maximum time, so that we can learn. Totally irritating (Paul).

[@satyammishra8324]

[@arkasadhu2820]

The host dumbed down the conversation with his constant interruptions.

[@manishhhh8227]

The respected host first completes the guests then comes next

[@ashutoshyadav1198]

Personally,i didn't find the interruptions not much of a concern,the interviewee simply has a great flow,and keeps one engaged....and the interviewer was successful in steering/bringing down some of what is true,but a hyperbole to someone not from mumbai/finance world....

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

We appreciate your perspective and are glad to hear that you found the interviewee engaging and the interviewer successful in steering the conversation.

[@Unknown_05999]

Let him speak man

[@purnangshupaul9704]

This is the host writing the message that all of you felt like is interrupting the guest. I humbly accept all the criticism and will try to learn from the feedback given by all of you in the comment section. I personally reached out to the guest as well to understand whether he felt the same and got his feedback that was helpful. We all are in a constant learning phase of our lives and we learn by making mistakes. I have conducted tonnes of interviews before this one that has appeared on this very channel and praises and criticism has been a part of this journey so far. I am a firm believer of constructive criticism and feel that a lot of difference can be made by just listening. Nonetheless, I will try to make it better with every passing interview that I do. here will be many more coming in the upcoming weeks. Do send me your feedbacks and opinions on how you felt about those conversations, so that I can constantly evolve. Stay tuned and keep watching. There is a lot in store for you guys! Cheers.

"How to Handle Criticism Like a Pro" by Purnangshu Paul This proves that we read all your comments, We are always open to constructive feedbacks (and some fun)

[@curiousfox2065]

What was more annoying is you were just asking lame question to which he was talking about. Pls ask some constructive question rather than asking tail end things.

[@Brajendu]

And yes Mr. Host, thosr super annoying words "Right? Right? Right ? .. You know? You know?" which you utter every now and then is just disgusting man. And I am sure that you will continue this process because that is Your attitude. Bring down your ego level boy! You are still too novice in life. Respect your guest and be polite.

[@SanghmitraaSisodiya]

hey, you did well and that interruption might be because of the lack of time availability or for some other reason. Use these criticisms for good and do ignore people's rude coments. And the Guest was brilliant. helped me learn a lot. amazing insights.

[@rajmankar4440]

I observed one thing. I watched video for the first time in full screen mode.(not read comments though) It felt like a genuine conversation and enjoyed the content though. Post this i went to comments and found all firing is being done on host for his constant interruptions, also at the same time i started to play , i realised, this time i did let others opinion overpower my first experience and i was judging host involuntarily this time. Took a pause came back to comment section to pour my thoughts out. I learned that best is thing is to watch and not to go through comments at same time. Host is good enough !
