Tata Consultancy Services and Vizag Steel score in Kolkata
July 5, 2006

The Kolkata edition of the Corporate Crucible Quiz was a thriller with both versions (Tata and non-Tata) turning out to be extremely keenly contested affairs.

Backed by a crowd of over 200, the Tata track saw Tata Consultancy Services (2 teams), Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Metal Junction and Tata Interactive Systems as the final six teams on stage. Tata Consultancy Services emerged as winners with the men of steel coming in second.

In the non-Tata track Vizag Steel won after a hard fought seven question tiebreaker. They were pitched against two professors from the International School of Business and Media who missed out on the flight to Mumbai for the National Finals. Eveready Industries came in third by a difference of just five points. The other finalists were ITC, IMS Learning, and Congnizant.

The Crucible Quiz continues its journey across the country with the Pune round tomorrow (July 6). Those interested can register on the spot while for the other centres, those interested can register at www.tata.com.

The remaining schedule is:

Pune (July 6), Mumbai (July 8), New Delhi (July 9), Hyderabad (July 11), Ahmedabad (July 14), Chennai (July 15), and Bangalore (July 16)

There are highly attractive cash prizes at stake, making ‘Tata Crucible’ one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the Indian quizzing calendar. The national winning team will walk away with a cash prize of Rs 2 lakh and a host of other exciting prizes from the Tata Group, along with a beautiful trophy for each member. There are also fabulous prizes at each regional round for the audience from Titan, Westside and Tata Indicom, to name a few. Additionally, Group companies such as Tata Motors, Tata Steel and Tata Asset Management are also partnering the event in order to make it an even bigger success.
