Varun's response is polite but lacks the depth and engagement expected in a professional interview setting. While he acknowledges the question, he does not provide any additional context or express enthusiasm about the opportunity, which could have made his response more engaging. A more effective response could have included a brief mention of a productive aspect of his day, followed by a reciprocal inquiry about Avi's day. For example, he could say, "Hi Avi, it's a pleasure to meet you as well. My day has been quite productive so far, thank you for asking! How about you?"
