Gave the case interview recently, somethings you can prepare for basis my experience:

  1. Kalaari portfolio companies and business models of a couple, even if it's the big ones
  2. Ground problems of the sector thesis you've prepared
  3. Basic market sizing guesstimate preparation
  4. A couple of interest projects on your resume, and if you've worked with a startup, know their business model and if you would invest

A good friend of mine did the fellowship. 21-23 cohort.

Few things to keep in mind:

  • it’s a LOT of work
  • having a specialisation helps. They’re equally invested in marketing as they are on portfolio & investments
  • some of the partners aren’t very nice to work for
  • not everyone gets absorbed into Kalaari post 2 years. A lot of them get good jobs elsewhere though. The network is very good.
  • a lot of the analysts leave in the first 6 months. The burden of their work gets moved to the ones who remain.

Hope this helps.
