- Further, they also asked questions about GD, FDI, Agro Economy, Competition from Global Companies, and SAARC nations.
- She was asked about her experience with Tata Steel and the industry and whether she was comfortable with electronics or steel. Her response was both.

Coincidentally, they also repeated a question that was asked last year in the same interview given by her. A few questions based on investments were also discussed and she gave her honest opinions on the same.
