Expressing his happiness, Naveen Kumar said, “I have been participating in the Tata Crucible event every year since 2011, first as a student in the campus edition and then in the corporate edition. This year because of the constraints posed by the pandemic, I wasn’t expecting the quiz to take place, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out about the new virtual avatar of the Quiz. Additionally, the event was made all the more exciting this year, as for the first time, individuals represented a company instead of a team of two. It was my good luck to win the corporate edition for a second time, amidst all the intense competition from the fellow participants.”
