Ujjivan - Providing Financial Services to the Poor

Ujjivan team wins prestigious Tata Crucible Quiz in Bangalore

Widely considered as the country’s foremost business quizzing event, the Tata Crucible Business Quiz saw the Ujjivan team emerge winners from among 150 corporate teams. After coming through a gruelling prelim round and then scoring the winning points with the final question was nerve-racking for Alagarsamy (Audit Dept) and Aditya Mohan (Product Dept).
By virtue of winning the tough Bangalore region finals, they now qualify for the National Finals.

Ujjivan started off in style getting off to big lead as the other teams pulled back one question at a time. By the mid phases it seemed a four way battle between Ujjivan, Yahoo, Oracle and

Kotak but Yahoo and Kotak pulled a little ahead. In the final couple of rounds, Yahoo incurred negatives to lose ground while Kotak and Ujjivan were on the same platform with two questions to go. Kotak inched ahead on the penultimate question but Ujjivan replied with a brilliant final answer to clinch the final.

Congratulations!
