Since, last two decades we, at Greycells Quiz and Event Management devote almost two months of our professional calendar to NTPC Limited for Medha Pratiyogita, Power Quiz (internal track)
and NTPC Electron Quiz: the pre-eminent Business Quiz contest for premiere Management and Engineering colleges of the country.
Electron is now hosted across nine destinations (Regional rounds), followed by 3 sets of National semi-finals and then the National Finals.
Team Greycells was prepared amidst an extremely busy season - criss-crossing each of those nine destinations.
Electron Quiz, is by invitation, and this year close to 700 teams were quizzed over the course of last month. It was a gruelling yet satisfying journey.
The culmination event took place this Friday- at NTPC Power Management Institute.
The occassion was grand, the setting was pitch perfect.
Top 6 qualifying teams - arguably the best in business came all guns blazing.
The teams negotiated a volley of challenging questions posed by Quizmaster Gautam Bose.
The star studded line-up were: (according to their seating positions)
Team 1: Chirag C. and Aniket Verma from XLRI Jamshedpur
Team 2: Nishchay Shopurkar and Singh Chauhan from IIM Lucknow
Team 3: Aditya Padhi and Sparsh Pradeep Jain from IIT Kanpur
Team 4: Kumar Kirti and S from IIM Calcutta
Team 5: Shivaji Roy Chowdhury and Jishnu Siddharth from IIT Madras
Team 6: Pranjal Parashar and Prathamesh Tanna from IIM Nagpur
Most of the teams were in contention till the last round. However, in an incredible display of knowledge, peppered with great strategy - the youngest on-stage team - representing IIT Kanpur, pulled ahead and won the championship title in thumping style.
Team IIM Lucknow (in their second consecutive National final) finished as the second best- leaving the team from IIM Calcutta as second runner-up.
The winners took home the championship trophy along with Rs 1 Lakh and hopefully a bagful of memories.
Kudos to all the 6 National finalists as well to the Regional winners and all the countless teams who have contributed to the success of NTPC Electron Quiz over the years.
Also, the biggest shout-out to the management of NTPC for having entrusted us this onerous task of steering Electron to greater heights.
Gear up then - 2026 season… unfolding soon.
