QUIZMASTER’S PROFILE

Stanley David, a well-known quizmaster, with 40 years of quizzing experience, was the captain of the famous Dalhousie Institute Quiz team, Kolkata, the winners of the AQUO Trophy for the Best Quiz Team in the country. He has won innumerable Quizzes like the All India North Star Quiz, Calcutta Tercentenary Quiz, Brain of Calcutta (runner-up), Close-Up Quiz and many such Quizzes.

Penguin has published his first books, titled the “Penguin Quiz Book 2003”. He was the quiz brain behind the 130 episode Inter-School Quiz ,Britannia Milk Bikis Quiz Buzz, aired by RAJ TV during end 2001- early 2002. He also executed the Madras Café in Karnataka for Parrys Confectionery Limited. In 2008, he had executed an innovative Automobile Quiz for the Mahindra Group. In 2013-2015, he conducted the Coffee Quiz on behalf of the Coffee Board and IICF.

For him, quizzing is an abiding passion. Quizzing is just not a sport or a competition. It is a test of breadth and depth of an individual, as one pits oneself against the sum total of human knowledge. Hence, he feels that books like the Essential Quiz Book will provide a sample of quizzing nuggets from a wide variety of subjects, that is illustrative, and not exhaustive. There is no easy road to a mastery of quizzing, the more one reads, the more one shares, the more one learns.

Mr. David has had a distinguished career in marketing in Steel Authority of India , followed by a successful stint as a Senior Trade Adviser with the British Deputy High Commission, Calcutta. As Infosys Alliance Partner for Campus Connect during 2007-2013, he has trained thousands of engineering students.
