Guesstimates
• Guesstimates, as the name suggests, are estimates based on guesswork
• There are no right answers in a guesstimate; you need to work with logic and assumptions
• Listen to the question and then determine how to approach the case − demand side or supply side
• Usually judged on − structure, segmentation, assumptions, calculations, and communication
• Examples:
•
Estimate the annual revenues of Delhi airport
•
Estimate the number of ice-cream cups sold annually in India
•

•
Estimate the number of petrol pumps in India

Things to keep in mind
• Structure
•
Lay out the overall approach of the guesstimate
•
This is the difficult part of the case and most crucial
• Segmentation
•
Segment the sample whenever possible; Throws light on the depth of your thinking
•
However, do not get bogged down in the details; Think from a macro level
• Assumptions
•
Do not throw numbers from the air
•
Always base your assumptions on some facts; They might be off
