Tanmay's response was brief and lacked engagement. While he acknowledged the question, he missed an opportunity to express enthusiasm or engage in a more conversational manner, which is important in interviews to build rapport. A more engaging response would have included appreciation for the opportunity and a reciprocal question to Avi, such as "Thank you for asking, Avi. My day is going well, and I'm excited to be here discussing this opportunity with you. How about you?" This would have demonstrated better communication skills.
