A leading life insurer in India is evaluating the acquisition of a digital-first insurtech platform to strengthen online distribution and customer engagement. The company has relied heavily on agents and bancassurance, where growth has slowed, and needs new digital channels to scale. Management is assessing whether buying an insurtech platform is the right path to revive growth and remain competitive.
In an M&A case, you evaluate whether a merger, acquisition, or divestiture creates meaningful value. You will consider the strategic fit between the two companies, the potential for synergies, and the risks involved in execution. The case requires balancing financial logic with strategic alignment — asking whether the combined entity will be stronger than the two businesses separately. You may also be asked to outline how to capture value post-acquisition, including integration planning and risk management.
To ensure you have the best possible experience, treat this simulation like the real thing. Here are a few tips to help you prepare:
Grab a Pen and Paper: This is essential. You'll need it to structure your thoughts, perform calculations, and take notes on the information you receive.
Find a Quiet Space: The AI interviewer is sensitive to voice input and will be interrupted if it detects noise, therefore find a quiet spot and give the interview as you would for any other interview.
Think Out Loud: Your thought process is what's being evaluated. Verbalize your structure, your hypotheses, and your math so the interviewer can follow your logic.
The Persona is a Test: Your AI interviewer will be professional and demanding. This is intentional to simulate the pressure of a real consulting interview. Stay confident and trust your analysis.
The AI is a Tool, Not a Person: Our simulation is highly advanced, but it's not perfect. If it seems to misunderstand something, simply clarify your question and continue with your logical approach.
