Bangalore RuralPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My loop started with an HR intro round and then moved into a technical system design interview.

In the second round, I designed a news feed system and talked about how it would scale to around 1 million users.

The system design portion was the main technical focus after the project discussion in the HR round, and it leaned heavily on explaining structure and scalability considerations. The process didn’t end in an offer, and the overall feeling was that it was a typical but fairly time-bounded technical conversation.
