TASK 2- Evaluation Criteria
What do you think of investments ?Debt or equity saving for a rainy day?
So The task commenced on a Sunday evening with me and my syndicate partnering together and
discussing the type the questions to be framed ,The topic given to us was “What do you think
of investments ?Debt or equity saving for a rainy day?”. The discussion revolved around as to
what would be our focus and what exactly do we need to get out of the project. We were very
clear about the objective i.e. We needed to overcome the barrier of pursuing people and asking
for help without hesitating , we were aware about each of the set backs we face in the mundane
life and with this activity we wanted to be step forward and rise above irrespective of our
barriers.
Since our topic was aligned more towards the financial side I observed a very hesitant behavior
of people towards and it and that became somewhat a barrier as not everybody is confident
enough and has the financial knowledge within them. But then I decided to look for people who
had a work experience in past, and with that I started communicating with people.
Before Interviewing with the first interview I communicated with atleast 6-7 people and it took a
lot of energy to convince them to have a conversation with me around a topic. The convincing
didn’t work well as the reasons I received were pretty much like –“Sorry I am more of a
marketing guy/person and finance is something not my area”, “I can talk with around the topic
with little to whatever information I have but I am Camera shy and does not approve of you to
record”, another response I received was “If I can give an entire plan of the questions so that she
could just answer it and be done with it”. The third response clearly depicted that she was not
looking up for building conversation but rather taking it as her own assignment and getting it
over with. So I went forward and that’s when I met a person who was a visitor in the Lavale
campus and had 10 years of workexperience and is now running his own business. He had a
indepth knowledge about finance and was very keen on sharing it with us , While conversing he
was pretty confident and he used a lot of hand gestures to convey his message and also made
sure to not use heavy financial terms and explain it to me in simple layman terms. He depicted a
very friendly attitude and the conversation turned out to be a very effective and informative one.
For the next interview I decided to not approach a person directly by asking whether he would
accompany me for the interview directly but rather tried building the conversation first.And so
while I was sitting in the mess of our campus I initiated a conversation with a student who
belonged to SIBM pune , I asked him about his background and which college he belongs
to,Turned out he had his specialization into Human Resources and asking upon his views on
finance and investments , he shared a optimistic approach stating he has little to less knowledge
on it but keeps on reading to improve,I futher asked about if he ever invested or not and his

response was positive. Then I approached him if he is okay for giving an interview, He was too
enthralled with the idea and asked me to conduct immediately.I immediatedly called my
syndicate to record the video . Here as well the body language was fine , he appeared confident
in whatever he was speaking ,There was an involvement of hand gestures and he had clarity in
whatever he was speaking . The only barrier that I had there was the time barrier , I had to keep
the conversation short since he had his class in 10 minutes .
