When the Jags came back, they were in for a pleasant surprise as a special Twenty-Twenty Quiz was organised based on their key observations & learnings. Jags were divided into different groupings with a Team Spokesperson anointed who presented the answers in a rapid fire format. In what seemed to be a fiercely contested & engaging quiz, finally one of the teams emerged as winners of this fun activity. Jags received words of praise from the Senior Management of the Trident & Oberoi Hotel Group for their intellectual talents & their infectious enthusiasm.

Unwinding

The best was reserved till the end where Jags were treated to sumptuous evening snacks & tea & as they munched on the delicacies, they pondered over their key takeaways during this spellbound tour of the luxury property.

“Seeing behind the scenes is always enchanting” – Anshula

“Do not fail to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.” – Tanmay

“Devil is in the details.” – Manan

"It's fascinating to see organization in action!" - Amartya Majumdar.
