To accommodate the participants arriving from across India and overseas, Zifo established a dedicated bell desk this year to assist guests with their luggage. This thoughtful addition ensured a smooth and convenient experience for those who travelled to Chennai specifically for the quiz.

This year’s edition saw enthusiastic participation from numerous schools, with nearly 2,000 school students from 20+ schools participating in this festival of curiosity.

Mr. Raj Prakash Govindarajan, CEO of Zifo, said, “Chennai is a city with a character and personality rooted in knowledge, soulfulness, and impactful actions. The revival of this quiz is not just about bringing back a beloved tradition, it’s about sustaining a culture of inquiry and learning in a city that has always valued intellect.”

Dr. Navin Jayakumar, Ophthalmologist and Quizmaster, added “With the ‘Zifo Open Quiz’, we are not simply reviving an event. We are rekindling a movement, an intellectual fervour that the Landmark Quiz encapsulated. It’s a renaissance in quizzing, not just a set of questions.”
