Idea Brand Equity Pune Review & Questions

Its been a long time since i posted anything, i guess corporate life keeps one busy with little time left for quizzing. Newayz Idea Brand Equity Pune round was a grand affair and possibly the best venue so far. Questions were good and ambience great. Audience prizes were really cool and there was something for everyone present.
