the interviewer want to know how well you are vest with their organisation or the institution you are applying for.
Secondly, whether you suitable for the position applied for

The interviewer wants to see how well you have researched this position, how committed you really are to the company and why you are looking for a new job in the first place.
Make sure you read up on the job and can say exactly how it fits to your skills.
Do your company homework.
you know why you are in front of your interviewer.You will inevitably have to explain what brought you to a job interview, prepare to outline your reason for changing jobs.
One of the most basic yet most difficult questions asked in job interviews are- Why are you here? Why do you want to work for us? Or – What brought you here? The reason why the questions appears to be difficult is because all the while you have been preparing hard enough to answer queries related to your expertise and your past experience but you haven’t taken out time to introspect.
You have never sit back and analyzed why you would like to associate with the organization.
Thus, when such a question is darted out at you, you get on guard and tend to talk about the status/brand value of the organization.
However, you fail to realize that there are important things to touch base while answering the questions as well.
What does the employer want to know when asking: “Why you are Here?” By asking such a question, an interviewer tries to learn:1.
About your interest in the job role at this particular organization2.
Are you well aware about the job requirements?3.
Have you analyzed the products, competitors and market dynamics of the organization?4.
How serious are you for joining in and most importantly, for adding value to the organization?5.
Have you made self assessment and you are100% aware of your qualities and therefore planned ahead your career road map? Answering – Why am I here? In an interview Let’s look at an example to understand it better: Interviewer: “So what makes you come here? What brings you in here?” Interviewee1: “‘XYZ’ organization is a start up and I firmly believe that associating with a growing organization will be a boost to my career.” Interviewee2: “I will be fortunate to associate with XYZ organization and the reasons for that are: A.
XYZ specializes in securities management in IT space.
Since, I have more than7 years of experience in various internal and external security processes; I am sure I will bring value to the organization and working with a young and enthusiastic team will provide me an arena to hone my skills as well.
B.
Since, XYZ is a start up organization; it will be beneficial for me to obtain hands-on experience in various aspects of running an organization.
All in all, it will be a win-win situation for both of us.” Clearly, interviewee2 has been more VOCAL about his intent to associate with the organization, his knowledge about the organization and how it would be a value proposition.
All you have to do is to convince the interviewer that there is sound reason for applying to the job, and you are interested in the job as well as in the company.

With all due respect and no offense, I would say that its only you (the candidate) who can answer this question in its true sense. Please do ever go for ready made fancy answers which will never appeal a good assessor. Do your homework prior to appearig for an interview and list down all positives about that employer which have caught your attention...Be honest....however with smartness :-)
