History is about to be re-written.
The battle-lines have been drawn again and the King has returned…
A great battle will soon begin.
And when the dust settles, a new champion will wear the crown.

I write to you from the International Relations desk at IIPM and have the honour and privilege to inform you that IIPM is all set to host the third edition of its celebrated B-School Quiz- ‘DARE – International B – School marketing Quiz in association with 4Ps (India’s truly Global Business and Marketing Magazine), in New Delhi in the month of February 2011.
