Known for our new brand of quizzing that emphasizes on thinking, the greatest tribute to our efforts came when the guru of lateral thinking Dr.Edward De Bono witnessed the national final of Tata Crucible and remarked humorously "With all my lateral thinking, I don't think I can crack Pickbrain".
Pickbrain and team were invited to the Sultanate of Oman to host a mega quiz with 6000 people on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Times of Oman, the leading English daily of that country. It is now an annual quiz.
Conceptualised and created the world's first Rural IT quiz in association with Tata Consultancy Services and the Department of Information Technology, Government of Karnataka. This quiz is poised to enter the Guinness Book of World Records with close to 1.2 million participants.
