Hey Sumeet, first off — congrats on the interview call! Dr. Vivek Velamuri is a faculty member focused on innovation and entrepreneurship, so expect a conversational but thoughtful discussion. The key things he might likely probe are your "why MBA, why now" story, why HHL specifically (mention the 21-month track and your language/network goals), and where exactly you want to take your career. "Product/Project management" is a bit broad, so try to sharpen it — something like product management in the mobility or EV space connects beautifully with your background and will resonate well in Germany's automotive ecosystem.

Your 3 years in EV vehicle compliance is honestly a stronger differentiator than you might think. Germany's OEMs and suppliers — BMW, Bosch, Continental — are all deep in the EV transition, so they own that experience confidently. Prep 2-3 quick STAR-format stories from your work life (leadership, problem-solving, teamwork), and have a concrete plan ready for your German language journey since you mentioned that as a goal. Also worth doing — look up Dr. Velamuri's published work on business model innovation; a genuine reference to his research can go a long way in showing you've done your homework.

On your broader shortlist — HHL makes a lot of sense for you, given the entrepreneurship focus and the extra time to build roots in the DACH region. ESMT Berlin is also worth pursuing, given Berlin's growing tech and mobility scene. But for now, focus on HHL — walk in as a conversation, not an interrogation, ask thoughtful questions at the end, and let your authentic story do the work.
