RVs Viktoriin Serial Kwizzer 1


Dear all,

Namaskar !



This is Ranjeet Varma from Nayee Dilli.



As the nomenclature suggests, this is my humble / modest attempt at starting a new quiz series, focussing mostly on the biz world ........ looking forward to your kind patronage.

Since I am getting into content development professionally, just thought that I should do some "content compilation" first -- hence my sincere effort to float this quiz series. However I do not claim originality atleast at this stage of my venture.




DIL SE.......
