"Bournvita Quiz Contest (BQC), the oldest running quiz contest in India, is all set to make an iconic shift. Like the shift from radio to TV in the early 90s, BQC is going to make a big move, into a medium of the future, by moving into the digital space.

"Our understanding of the evolving youth segment has led to the introduction of fresh elements to the show's format that we believe will be instrumental in helping BQC scale new heights," Mondelez India Foods Director - Beverages, Gum and Candy, Prashant Peres said.
The show will go live on December 25 with two new episodes every week for 7 consecutive weeks on the BQC YouTube Channel on every Tuesday and Friday.
