Guesstimate

How many Pizzas are delivered at iim indore on a typical day?

Assumptions (considered in our solution):

● We are not including mess staff, gardners, cleaners , guards, peons etc. and assuming
they might not order pizzas from outside.
● People are not ordering pizzas for breakfast.
● Students are most interested in pizzas as they love junk food
● Faculty are little less interested whereas kids in their families might be.
● Staff family members are ordering pizzas.
● Orders for lunch on weekdays are negligible for students as they are busy with their
schedules, faculty and staff family members may have some orders.
● Orders on weekends for lunch are less than orders for dinners.
● We are assuming that it is a normal day and we don’t have any pre-event, post-event, or
event or Covid scenario.
● We are assuming one person is eating one pizza

No. of students at IIM Indore:

PGP = 550*2=1100
IPM =110*3=330
FPM= 100
Total No. of Students= 1530

Faculty=102*3=306 (Family Member)

Visiting and Non teaching staff = 100*3=300 ( We are including their families too , we are also
assuming half of them have purchasing power of pizzas.)
= 300*0.5= 150

We are calculating for a week:
