We congratulate the winners of the preliminary round, and appreciate the time taken by all the participants to appear for the test. We look forward to similar participation in future as well.

The Deja Vu-ing part of course comes in with the quiz meister "Harsha Bhogle" whom i shall be seeing again. If you recollect , he was also the quizmaster and Moderator at the National finals of the BT-Acumen Quiz and Debate finals (which IIFT won).

Here's hoping Nishant and me can pull off an encore for IIFT here too....
