innovation which quizzing in India has not seen before."
Tata Crucible Campus Quiz 2008 quizmaster Giri 'Pickbrain'
Balasubramaniam, said, "Tata Crucible is undoubtedly
the biggest business quizzing battle on campuses and
the new format of quizzing adds a new dimension to this
battle ground. The format of a quiz is the key to its
success and the new format which we introduce each year
is well researched. The youth always want new ideas
and formats — they like being unsettled. We are
confident that the new format will stimulate the young
minds and also keep the audiences engaged. "
