"Is this s shuttle service or the standard uber service? Let's assume the latter. First Uber should gather some data. Find cities similar to Bangalore in several measures that Uber already services. Al bring in cities in India that already are services by Uber, if any. With this in hand, do a multifactoral analysis to try and understand the likely demand in Bangalore. That will help the company understand how many drivers it needs to launch with, so that user expectations for service are met. Hir"

"This depends on the following two variables:
What's the percentage of people dropping off at each step
What's the perceived impact to business and users of the failure of each step.
In general, I'd start from the very end, and then go back in the process as it's more important that we satisfy customers who have paid i.e. they should get a booking confirmation vs customers that are entering details and then payment info."

"This is a Fermi problem — an estimation or approximation problem with limited information and back-of-the-envelope calculations. There's no right answer: interviewers want to understand how you think and how well you can explain your reasoning, rather than what you already know.
Recall the formula for Fermi problems:
Ask clarifying questions
Catalog what you know
Make equation(s)
Think about edge cases to add to equation
**Breakdown components of your equat"

"This is a Technical question. It tests your ability to understand high level technical concepts. Even though your job won't have any coding involved, you'll still need to understand these concepts. Being able to cover all these topics with clarity communicates confidence in your interviewer.
Unfortunately, there's no formula for technical questions, but some general tips are:
Use analogies when you can
Break your solution into clear, bite-size steps
Don't be afraid to use examples to b"
