BV Harish Kumar

One of the most respected Pune quizzers, BV Harish Kumar, is the visiting faculty this Sunday at BQC. In a quizgawd exchange program of sorts, his quiz happens right after Mumbai doyen Anannya Deb held a quiz in Pune last weekend.

Harish runs a very popular book sharing startup, www.tenderleaves.com

Directions: From the south: If you come north on Linking Road from Bandra to SantaCruz, you'll find a large Benetton Store on the right. At the end of that block is a Kotak Bank at the corner. Take a right and it's the next building, take the first gate and tell the sentry you've come for the quiz. From the north: If you get on to Linking Road at the airplane park end, you'll cross a HDFC Bank. A block later, you'll see a Kotak Bank on the corner - do not cross it. Take a left at that point and it's the building next to Kotak Bank.
