1. Announcing our new book,
first of hopefully several
more to come:
Mind Your Business:
500 Multiple Choice
Questions from the World of
Business & Brands
(A collection of 500 dry and image-
based questions)
2. Introduction
Business Quizzing is big business. In India, that is.
Major companies sponsor both in-house and open business quizzes, some of the most
well-known quiz masters almost exclusively conduct business quizzes, and winnings in
cash and other goodies of some very well-known specialist business quizzers regularly
equal their usual income from their jobs (assuming they are employed).
But, where quizzing in general is looked upon by most ‘normal’ people as something
nerds do to pass their time and try to look cool, business quizzing is considered even by
many quizzers as something accessible only to B-schoolers, or a few under-graduate
students and working professionals. The fact that business questions do not very often
have the much sought ‘workability’ factor does not help matters.
So, this series is an effort to make business quizzing more accessible (at this stage, we
hope it is going to be a series). A lofty goal if there was any, but I hope as you go through
these questions, alone or with friends, you will realize that business quizzing, like all
quizzing, is essentially a lot of fun.
3. Introduction (cont’d.)
If you are already a regular business quizzer, most of these questions would be a tad easy
for you. I still hope that will not take away from the fun factor. If you are not, you could
use this fairly substantial collection to brush up on some facts, maybe even prepare for
the next quiz near you.
Most of these questions have been collected from the many quizzes I have conducted for a
wide range of audience and participants – school students, housewives, non-regular-
quizzer-working professionals, college students, and more. What I have figured is that
you just need to be interested in what happens around you to enjoy these.
