Greetings from the Quintessential Club(The Quiz Club of IIFT Delhi)
IIFT :: Quo Vadis '09 presents Bizdom - The Business Quiz
“It is not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game” -
Whoever had said the same has definitely never experienced anything as
fiercely competitive as Bizdom. It is not just any other business quiz,
nay, it is an institution, where only the mightiest of the mighty are
brave enough to compete and even fewer tough enough to win. Unlike the
battlefields, the wars at Bizdom aren’t fought with tanks and bombs,
rather it is your grey cells that distinguish you from just another
nameless soldier. But that doesn’t mean that the competition is any
less demanding, as only the best make the cut to fight it out for
prizes worth Rs. 30000. Hosted by Arul Mani, the QM who needs no
introduction, Bizdom has been the one event in the NCR region that has
made quiz aficionados coming back for more. So join us again this year
at IIFT, Delhi and don’t forget to put your thinking caps, rather, your
battle gear on!
