Consolation prizes were given to Abhaysingh Rajpurohit of GIIS Surat and Sachi Desai of GIIS Bangalore and it was a tie between GIIS Noida and GIIS Chinchwad for the Champion’s Trophy. Suryaansh Jain and Tanisha Shetty of Class 5 received the Champion’s Trophy at Noida.

The students exhibited confidence and poise while facing audiences across campuses. It is indeed an exposure for students of GIIS to master communication skills in an environment geared by technology.
