[Practise a mock interview in MakeMyTrip's style](https://orbitanswer.com/register) [Warm up free on these questions](https://orbitanswer.com/warmup?track=company%3Amakemytrip) ## The interview process - 1 Recruiter or HR screen, or campus shortlisting for graduate roles - 2 Online test or coding round for engineering roles (often) - 3 One or two technical rounds on problem-solving, data structures and your projects - 4 System design for experienced engineers - 5 Case or functional round for product, analytics and business roles - 6 Hiring manager and HR round ## What interviewers listen for - Understanding travellers: price, trust, choice and convenience - Designing for spiky demand around holidays, long weekends and sales - Thinking about partners (hotels, airlines) as well as customers - Ownership and a drive for results - Curiosity and continuous improvement - Decisions backed by data ## Behavioral questions ### Tell me about a time you turned an unhappy customer or user into a satisfied one. A good answer covers - What went wrong for them and how they felt - What you did, beyond the standard response - How it ended, and what you changed so others didn't face it ### Describe a time you improved a product or process step by step rather than all at once. A good answer covers - The problem and why a big change was risky - The small changes you made and how you measured each - Where it ended up overall ### Tell me about a time you worked with a partner or another team whose goals were different from yours. A good answer covers - What each side wanted and where it clashed - How you found common ground - The result for both sides ### Tell me about a deadline you nearly missed. What did you do? A good answer covers - Why it slipped, owned honestly - How you re-planned and who you told - What you delivered, and what you do differently now ## Role and technical questions ### How would you design flight search that pulls fares from many airlines and returns results quickly? A good answer covers - Calling suppliers in parallel with timeouts, and showing partial results - Caching fares briefly and re-checking the price before booking - Ranking results and coping when a supplier is slow or down ### Two users try to book the last room in a hotel at the same moment. How would you stop it being sold twice? A good answer covers - Holding inventory for a short time during payment, with expiry - Atomic updates or locks on the inventory count - Keeping in sync with the hotel's own system, and what to do if it still goes wrong ### A fare shown on the search page changes by the time the user reaches payment. How would you reduce this and handle it when it happens? A good answer covers - Why it happens: cached fares, seats selling out, supplier price changes - Fresher checks at key steps without slowing search too much - Telling the user clearly and offering choices, not a silent change ### Hotel bookings in Goa fell sharply last week compared with the same week last year. How would you investigate? A good answer covers - Checking data and calendar effects first: holidays, events, weather - Demand side (searches, conversion) versus supply side (hotels listed, prices) - Splitting by app and web, channel and type of traveller, then the likely cause ### How would you decide which hotels to show first for a search in Jaipur? A good answer covers - Signals: relevance to the search, price, reviews, past conversion, location - Personalisation, and fairness to partners - Testing a new ranking with an experiment and the metric that decides it ### How would you estimate the number of hotel room-nights booked in Goa during December? A good answer covers - A clear route: tourists, length of stay and rooms per group - Separating domestic and international visitors, or supply-side checks on rooms available - Rounded numbers, said out loud, with a sanity check ### How would you design the refund journey for cancelled flights so customers stay informed at every step? A good answer covers - The steps: cancellation, airline confirmation, refund processing, money back - Status updates the customer can see, with realistic timelines - Handling delays from the airline or bank, and when to involve support ## Why MakeMyTrip? Fit and HR questions ### Why MakeMyTrip? Tell me about a trip you booked online and what you'd improve in that experience. A good answer covers - A specific booking and the moment it was easy or frustrating - One improvement, and who it would help - Why travel is a business you want to work in ### Which would you rather work on, flights, hotels or holidays, and why? A good answer covers - What makes that business different: suppliers, margins, customer needs - A problem in it you'd like to solve - Openness to the other areas too ### Where do you see yourself in five years, and how does this role help you get there? A good answer covers - A realistic direction, not a title - Skills this role builds towards it - Interest in growing with the company ## Tips - Search for a flight and a hotel on MakeMyTrip and Goibibo, go up to the payment page, and note where a traveller might hesitate. - Travel demand is seasonal: bring festivals, long weekends and holiday seasons into case and design answers. - In design questions, remember third-party suppliers: airline and hotel systems can be slow, fail or change prices. - For analytics roles, practise breaking a drop down by city, device, channel, and supply as well as demand. ## Practise it out loud A mock interview asks the way MakeMyTrip's interviewers are known to, follows up on your answers and gives you a report.
