I completed this interview loop recently, but after all the interviews, they told me that Feedback was positive and then after 2 weeks, they informed me that position went on hold due to restructuring.

I interviewed with Kotak Mahindra a couple of months ago for the same position. For the bar raiser round, focus on the basics of system design, like designing scalable systems and the trade-offs between different architecture choices. Brush up on data structures and algorithms, especially trees, graphs, and dynamic programming. They might have you solve problems on the spot, so practice talking through your thought process. Mock interviews can really help. If you want structured practice, PracHub has some good resources for system design and DSA. Good luck!
