The Tangentia Jigyasa Quiz (TJQ) started in 2017 as a modest business and technology quiz in Goa for corporate and college teams.
In the first year, there were mostly local teams and a handful of national teams attending. In 2019, the quiz went national with prelims in 6 cities in India and 100+ teams participating.
This year is the 4th Edition of the Tangentia Jigyasa Quiz and the organizing team has pulled all stops to make it a bigger and better affair. The prelims will be held simultaneously in 8 cities in India via video conference

In 2019, Tangentia Jigyasa Quiz was the first Quiz to have video conferencing and virtual team members participate in India and in 2020, no other quiz offers anything even remotely close. The video conferencing and virtual team participation is possible thanks to the technological prowess of the title sponsor Tangentia, a leading global technology consulting company. This year there will be an international element to the Quiz with the Quiz Master, Tangentia CEO, Vijay Thomas virtually asking questions for the prelims from the Tangentia headquarters in Toronto, Canada.
