Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (M&M) has announced the start of Mahindra Auto Quotient (AQ), pan-India Auto Quiz. The city rounds of the 4th edition of Mahindra AQ are to be held across 24 cities, starting September 3rd, 2012. Mahindra AQ has been engaging auto enthusiasts from the engineering and management fraternity for the past four years. During this time, it has established its position as India’s largest automotive quiz where students showcase their passion for automobiles.

Mr Rajeshwar Tripathi, Chief People Officer, Automotive & Farm Equipment Sectors, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd said, “We had started the Mahindra Auto Quotient with the aim of providing young auto enthusiasts with a platform to build and share their knowledge and passion about automobiles. It has been heartening to witness the growing popularity of Mahindra AQ over the years. We also hope that Mahindra AQ will further inculcate, nurture and promote the young and promising talent available in the engineering colleges and business schools of India to consider the automotive industry as an exciting career option.”
