Case: the ten-minute delivery promise is losing money
A quick-commerce firm loses ₹28 per ten-minute order and ₹4 per thirty-minute order. Ten-minute orders are 60% of volume and the reason customers chose the app. Marketing says dropping the promise ends the brand.
An advanced-level session of about 10 minutes. You join 3 other speakers already in the discussion. You get 90 seconds to prepare before it starts.
Drop the ten-minute promise is the obvious move and the case is built so that the obvious move is expensive: those orders are sixty per cent of volume and the reason customers chose the app at all. A group that reaches consensus quickly here has usually stopped reading. The ₹28 against ₹4 is worth interrogating rather than accepting — what sits inside that difference is rider density, dark-store placement and batching, and every one of those is a lever that does not require touching the promise. Marketing saying it ends the brand is a claim, not a finding, and someone should ask what evidence exists for it before the room treats it as a constraint. Ten minutes, eight people, one answer.
Angles worth taking
- The obvious move costs 60% of volume and the reason people installed the app. Slow the room down.
- Interrogate the ₹28: rider density, dark-store placement and batching are all levers inside it.
- "It ends the brand" is marketing's claim, not a finding. Ask what it rests on.
- Selective ten-minute delivery — by item, area or time — is the option that keeps both halves.
- Somebody should ask what a customer actually chose: the ten minutes, or the reliability of it.

How a group discussion session works
Read the situation
You get the topic and the real disagreement behind it — who wants what, and why the obvious answer is not obvious. No hunting for context.
Take your prep time
A short prep clock, the same as a real round. Enough to pick a position and one example. Not enough to write a speech, which is the point.
Get into the discussion
The AI participants open with their own positions and keep going. You enter when you find the gap, name what you are adding, and hold your turn.
Read the report
How much of the discussion was yours, whether you built on others or restarted, your fluency and clarity, and the two things to fix next time.
What you're scored on
A GD panel is not scoring the topic. Across every discussion below, the same four things decide the result, and they are what the report measures.
Contribute real points, build on what others say, and hold your share of the discussion without dominating it.
Content
Whether your points are real — an example, a number, a consequence — or a restatement of the topic in longer words.
Entry and airtime
Whether you got in at all, how often, and whether you held your share without running the whole room.
Listening
Whether you answered what was actually said. Building on someone, or disagreeing with their point specifically, scores far above a prepared line.
Delivery
Pace, clarity and steadiness under interruption — the part that decides whether a good point survives being made.
