The Rotary Club of Madras will present the `Business Line Corporate Quiz' on Sunday, April 16, at Taj Connemara, Chennai.

The event will bring together the best quizzing talent in the country, drawn from leading companies in banking, information technology, engineering and the services sector. The theme of this year's quiz is `business and industry'.

Last year's quiz, in which 42 teams participated, was won by a team from Infosys. This is the third edition of the corporate quiz and prizes offered have grown from the Rs 2 lakh in the first edition of the quiz in 2004.

The Rotary Club of Madras is amongst the oldest Rotary Clubs in India, with a 76-year-old history of service to the community. The corporate quiz is an annual fund-raiser that seeks to support worthy community service initiatives, including some projects that date back to August 1947!

Each team will be required to contribute Rs. 4,000 by way of a demand draft in favour of Rotary Club of Madras Charitable Trust, payable at Chennai. This amount would be utilised by the Rotary Club of Madras towards its community service projects.
