Guesstimate: No. of washing machines sold in India in a year

[@priyamsharma9778]

I finally understood how to solve these type of problems.Thank you so much for uploading this.It will be useful for the job interview.

[@Aggarwal0709]

Hi can u explain me how they calculate the machine penetration? Like why they multiply 0.5 and 0.4?

[@Manu-tf9cu]

@@Aggarwal0709 0.5 *0.4 explanation: 0.4 is the 40% representing the penetration share of middle-class families in Tier II cities. ie. assumption is that only 40% of middle-class families in Tier-II would use a washing machine. 0.5 is the 50% representing the percent of middle class families in Tier-II cities. So, when we multiply the 0.5 with 0.4, what we mean is that of the 50% population in Tier-II (which is the middle class), only 40% use a washing machine, i.e. 0.5*0.4= 0.2; i.e. total 20% in Tier-II use washing machine. This is just the middle class part. You should add the rich class too, which is 10% of Tier-II with 100% penetration (so we know all 10% rich class in Tier-II use washing machine). So we add 0.1 to 0.2 or 10% to earlier 20%. So total washing machine penetration in Tier-II is 30% I hope I made some sense. I suck at explaining things to others.

Hello, great video. However, I have two comments 1) Why not to approach from supply side - a) We would have to estimate the number of suppliers - True and valid. b) manufacturers making different type of washing machines - this is not valid, we care about the total in the end. c) Channels of sale - Again, not valid directly. Only (a) is a relevant point here in my view 2) Market share calculation - Market share by only considering the number of units is incomplete. Market share is revenue of one player/size of that industry. Therefore, we need both units sold and price per unit.

[@mk_0380]

can you please tell me how would the tree flow look like while solving from the side of the suppliers

[@paulhowrang]

To demonstrate the MECE principle, always ask the interviewer all the exhaustive list of questions. Here I would also ask whether we are looking at fully automatics, semi-automatic, or simple washing machines. There dynamics of these three will be very different. In guesstimate questions MECE principle is most important followed by structured thinking

[@abhinavthakur8232]

Exactly this is very important, if you don't ask these questions the whole assumptions falls flat

[@Rakshay223]

no if you're calculating the number of washing machines

[@anujgupta3296]

Not required to calculate total washing machines sold

Hey Unnati! Would you like to share your interview experience and the questions they asked you? It'd be super helpful for peeps like me preparing for interviews!

[@vanshitdiwaker5077]

10:00 the market share of existing dominating brands was not taken into account , out of 47 lac washing machines selling every year majority of machines are sold by big players which will eventually reduce the market share of the new manufacturer trying to enter the market.

[@gautammalik7718]

i swear to god when she asked how many washing machines sold in india every year his calculation and mine were different but both our answers came out to be 7 million lmao

For number of washing machines in India, we can also check with interviewer whether we should include or exclude the unsold inventory present in manufacturing plants, warehouses, retail outlets, etc.

Question, should all guestimate questions have these two to three level approach? For example would it be seen poorly if from the household data, I went straight and said 60% of households are rich and middle class and have 1 washing machine, vs dividing it by cities and then by classes and then by penetration?

[@Tejascoachingcentrevizag]

Great approach…very much organised and straight to the point

[@lalitkhatri3370]

Hello, requesting to recheck the growth element. It can not be 5% of 4.7 Cr. It should of 5% of what is sold in each year i.e. 47 lakhs. Answer should be 51,70,000 Another way to verify is that wihout growth element demand per year is 47 Lakhs.. Can demand increase by 50% each year?

[@theraizadatalks14]

Yes, you're right. It will be 47 lakh + ( 5% of 47 lakh Sold WM per year ) = Round upto 50 Lakh

[@shashanksingh4002]

This was a really insightful video. Can you please provide a solution to the same problem when approaching from the supply side.

[@akshatagarwal5853]

In replacement= current market size/ Avg. Life = 4.7/10 = 0.47 but you guys write 4.7 directly. How can total no. of washing machines at household smaller than no. of washing machines sold in a year. Please make it correct. Overall the content is very good and knowlegable.

[@hitish5417]

They have converted 4.7 crores to 4.7 millions while scaling it down.

[@akshatagarwal5853]

@@hitish5417 Oh yeah Thanks for pointing this out.

[@harshattri9024]

But why they converted crore into millions as total no of machines were 4.7 crore

[@aarushijoshi6355]

Hi, I felt like it was unnecessary complex to segment into cities and then into income groups. Isn't it quicker and more comprehensive to segment according to income tiers from the get-go? That was my approach and I got a similar final answer. Although answers don't matter, the thought process does.

[@mmmccc6515]

By how much percent you split based on income @Aarushi Joshi

[@destinydost5054]

I was thinking same. They made this more complicated as it would become difficult to compute?

[@tacituskilgore288]

Percentage of people in said classes to own a Washing machine. Ex- not all middle class families own a washing machines, so we’re assuming half of them own one. Hence penetration is 50%

[@shivcharan3530]

Vishal took 5℅ CAGR as 50℅ so over estimated the the number of washing machines sold in a year by 2.07 Mn.

[@shevronickell6662]

Very useful session! Thanks a lot.

[@divyanshmathur3766]

Since the calculation is made via population, it is incorrect to use the economic growth rate. We should be using the population growth rate for that i.e. 1%. Am I missing something? Also, shouldn't it be 5% of the annual sales and not the total market share?

[@Manu-tf9cu]

I think using population growth as a proxy might be problematic because sectoral growth rarely track population changes practically. Factors affecting such growth are usually economic. Hence, economic growth rate might be safer. Not sure. There is no right answer here. Also, annual sales are what we are trying to compute coz we only have the current market size. So we are assuming a growth of 5% every year based on current market size.

[@salonisom8939]

Excellent Initiative!

[@codesrhodes3757]

hi thanks for this video but i didnt understand that calculation involving washing machine sold each year, the last part of it....5% of 4.7 crore is not 2.3 ...pls explain

[@s.a.r7075]

I think vishaal last ans was wrong, how could you add 4 .7+ 2.3 =7 Current market size is 4.7. Then to correct ans should be 4.7/10= 0.47. Washing machine sold will be equal to 0.47+ 2.3= 2.77 cr

[@foodiesdayout8162]

Why has he not devided replacement year to 4.7……?

[@uwuslayer0211]

why are they dividing the market size by the avg life ?

[@NishantDhingraffgg]

I think it's , how many families buy a new one after there old one gets damaged, they took assumption of 10 years that's why 10% of total washing machine getting replaced every year.

Good approach. However, i believe hotels, hostels etc too use washing machines that was not considered in above guesstimate.

[@kartikeyasharma9908]

they mentioned domestic type only so these options i guess should not be considered.... This is my guess, you might correct too

[@riyaashraf2784]

Um if the growth rate is 5% a year shouldn't we take 5% of no of washing wachines sold per year instead off of total washing machines in india?

[@AkashAkashnos]

No , that would give the increase in no of washing machines sold per year compared to the the previous year . Here the goal is to find the total no of washing machines sold due to the increase in growth rate of the economy.

[@Omnamahshivay8079]

The guesstimate is not completely exhaustive. Washing machines would be used by commercial establishments also like hotels,hospitals , guest houses etc. So if you have assumed population only as the criteria is wrong.
