In India the quiz is a huge event – with 16 regional rounds and a televised international final in Mumbai.   Tata Crucible Quiz is a part of the Tata group's engagement with the youth as a knowledge initiative to encourage lateral associations, speed of thought and out-of-the-box thinking. The quiz seeks to bring together the sharpest young minds to take on the heat of a tough business quiz.

It made its debut in India in 2004-05 and generated a huge response in the first year.  It has now become an annual event, held separately for corporates and campuses each year.  The Tata Crucible Campus Quiz made its international debut with the Singapore edition in 2007 and has been running successfully for the last 5 years.  The UK edition was launched successfully in 2008 and has been running annually since then.
