The Mumbai edition of Brand Equity Quiz was conducted at St Andrew Auditorium(Bandra), the same venue where Landmark quiz was held two weeks back. The winner of quiz was Pradeep Ramanathan’s team from HUL, co-incidentally he was part of winning team Haseena-ka-Paseena in Landmark quiz also. The major highlight of the quiz was the thrilling last round between HUL and Pramerica(lead by enthusiastic Megashyam). The quizmaster Derek O’Brein made it more exciting with his usual masalas.
Major entertainment-bakras of the evening were a couple-cum-colleagues from Morgan Stanley to whom Derek offered Club Mahindra holiday package for answering a tough audience question. Rest of the quiz, the host used to refer them for cracking any relavent on-the-spot humour.
Overall, a good quizzing experience and personally I managed get an audience prize this time by using a different strategy in raising hands :)
