How to answer initial question from HR --

Question -- are you holding any offers in hand ??

When in reality -- you have multiple offers in hand and don't want to sound greedy or show signs which might make HR get negative vibes

Well the second one you can consider below two points to answer:

1) during technical discussion you can ask the person about how would be the average day work and activities you gonna face in the new role (this way you can tell to HR that , while tech discussion I came to know blah blah blah.. and this will meet your exact requirement etc)

2) Do some initial study about the company and its vision and stakeholders details etc..
(By this way u will get know the company potential and this will be the good one for your Long term benefit etc)
