B CUBE @ Sona School of Management, Salem

B cube - Business Brain Busters - National Management Quiz

Sona Institute of Management's initiative to bring quality quizzing to this part of the country is very much laudable. We don't get to witness quality quizzes except for the regional leg of competitions like "Tata Crucible" or "ET in Campus". So, it is defenitely an event to look out for, from now on. Our wishes to Sona & Team B^3! Hope it becomes a regular on the quizzin calendar from now on!Though the event was meant to be a National Level Management Quiz - the abscense of teams with pan-Indian representation was felt starkly!

Quiz Master - Mr. Lloyd Saldanha, Grey Caps.
Quiz Anchor - Mr.Vijay Athiraj (Small Screen Actor)

Results:

Winners : Saravana Kumar & Ram Kumar - Madras School of Social Work
Runners : Mohamed Rinaz & Rithu Parnan - PSG College of Technology

The MSSW team did well to snatch the lead from PSG Tech in the last round!
