  1. Dear Prof,

    Few questions. How do we figure out how many people have filled the form from our reference. It helps to know if the person you asked filled it or not so you can follow up with them.

    Secondly few corrections in the form:
    Q4: 29-25 years - Should be 20-25
    Over 25 years

    Q10: Does not have the option to write for Specify part:
    d. Other Equities investments (please specify)

    This is what I have been able to track.

    Thanks and Regards

  2. Thanks Saurav,

    Much appreciated. Will take action as needed.

    Shall ask AAs to download completed survey info and release stats on which group got how many submissions on Wednesday evening.

  3. Some friend of other section has told me that in his section it was stated that responses for the survey should be from OUTSIDE ISB. But I am not sure I remember this statement in my section...
    Could you please confirm if we are allowed to ask people in ISB to fill the survey or not?
    Thanks

  4. Hi Carlos,

    Responses from within ISB will be discounted for all groups except for those groups which have a significant presence of foreign or exchange students in them.

    IT says IP address tracking will show how many responses were from within ISB and how many from outside.

    Hope that clarifies.

  5. Thank you very much... but then I have a follow up question. Is 1 "foreign" in 6 considered to be "significant presence"?
    Thanks!

  6. Dear Prof,
    can you let us know if this link is to be sent to non-India residents? A friend of mine told me that no city outside India has been listed as a response to one of the location based questions(example: Q #17 & 36).

    Thanks,
    Siddharth

  7. Hi Carlos,

    Every team member is expected to bring in around 10 genuine, completed surveys.

    Depending on the # of foreign/exchange students a team has, the expected # of outside-ISB surveys drops and the acceptable # of within-ISB surveys rises.

    The reason for disfavoring within-ISB in general is sampling bias issues. We didn't have very many foreign students in MKTR last year. This year, however, the # is significant.

  8. Hi Siddharth,

    True, we didn't consider potential NRI populations - Indians currently outside but who will ultimately settle back home here in the long term.

    I guess, the best would be to not choose anything in the city/state option for 'where do you currently live'. If however, realty investments are being planned outside India, it is really outside the scope of the survey itself.

    Hope that clarifies.

  9. Dear sir
    Can we have the stats for completions by group released earlier? Tonight and then wed night? This will help us crank our efforts up in case we are not hitting the min numbers.

    Best,

  10. Hi Prof:

    Some comments I received after administering the survey:

    "I have replied to survey but questioaire seems to be deigned for people below 60 yrs
    Q3 yr you were born it does not cover earlier than 1940
    Q4 how many yrs do you plan to retire there should be option for those already retired
    Q12 how do you frequently invest in equities I believe it excludes MF. Many people invest when market is down or dont necessarily invest regularly
    Some Questions abt Insurance were also not quite relevant"
