Varun's response to the request for a self-introduction was not only unhelpful but also inappropriate, as he deflected the question back to Avi instead of providing the requested information. This demonstrates a lack of preparation and an inability to engage in a professional dialogue. A more effective response would have included a concise overview of his experience and unique qualities, such as "Certainly, Avi. I have over 18 years of experience in the IT industry, primarily focusing on product management and digital transformation. I’ve worked extensively with global clients across various domains such as IoT, SaaS, and Retail, managing large-scale projects and leading cross-functional teams. One aspect that might not be on my CV is my passion for mentoring younger professionals and fostering a collaborative work environment."
