Coding problem1
The first round was a machine coding round. An interview preparation document was shared before the interview. The doc mentioned that Razorpay does not ask Algo DS questions, but instead focuses on real-world problem-solving. This was advantageous to me, because at that time I just started giving interviews, and was at an early stage of my preparation for algo ds.
The interview happened in zoom in the evening and lasted for 1.5 hours. The interviewer was friendly and had open-ended discussions about the problem with him.

This round was conducted by a senior manager on a weekend. After a brief introduction and discussion about current and previous experiences, the interviewer shared the problem statement. The interviewer was very attentive. He listened carefully and spoke very less. Gave me full freedom to drive the discussion. Sometimes I was getting confused if I was steering away from the original problem statement.
