Participation was received from over 530 teams who were engaged in an intellectual battle over 3 days. This pre-event set the mood of the IQuiz. “Scorpio marketing challenge”, the other pre-event which gave winners an opportunity to take part in Mahindra's "Great Escape", saw innovative entries from participants making jingles, coffee table books, write ups and taglines for Mahindra Scorpio.
