About Us - Tata Crucible Singapore

Tata Crucible seeks to bring together curious and sharp young minds to take on the heat of an exciting and invigorating business quiz. The Quiz made its debut in India in 2004 and successfully generated a huge response in the very first year itself. It has since become an annual event.

The 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 Tata Crucible Campus Quiz made its international debut with the Singapore edition in 2007. It offers Singapore's student community a unique opportunity to involve themselves with the subject of international business, in an engaging and intellectually stimulating manner.

The last edition (12th edition) held in October 2018 saw participation of 194 students - 97 teams from prominent local institutions, including Nanyang Technological University, National University of Singapore, S. P. Jain School of Global Management, Singapore Management University and Singapore Institute of Management. Muthyala Rajendra Vikhyat and Shalini Gupta of Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) were crowned winners at the grand finale of the 12th edition of Tata Crucible Campus Quiz at the Singapore Institute of Management. Following the lead pair were Anjan Raina and Ramakrishna Krishnan from National University of Singapore (NUS). The second runners up position was sealed by Ang Wei Loong and Pung Tuck Weng from Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
