Bhubaneswar: In a finale marked by high-octane moments and intellectual prowess, KIIT International School’s Adweya Sarangi and Swastika Mishra have been named champions of CSM Synapse 4.0.
The win at the prestigious quiz competition, hosted by CSM Tech and Quizcraft Global, earned them the Champions Trophy and a grand prize of ₹2,00,000.
The competition, now in its 2025 edition, has established itself as a premier platform for young minds across Odisha. A new two-tier format, which saw teams competing in rigorous zonal rounds before the grand finale, made this year’s event the most inclusive and challenging yet.
The finalists, including first runner-up DPS Rourkela, were celebrated for their discipline and intellectual drive.
The event was more than just a competition; it was a testament to the power of curiosity. Quizmaster Adityanath Mubayi, known for his work on KBC, shared that quizzing builds crucial habits of “questioning, exploring, and learning with joy.”
This sentiment was echoed by CSM Tech Founder Priyadarshi Nanu Pany, who sees Synapse as a “movement to ignite young minds.”
As part of CSM Tech’s community development initiatives, Synapse aims to make “knowledge aspirational again.”
With its growing popularity and the enthusiasm of students, this event is fast becoming a key fixture in India’s educational landscape, shaping a new generation of leaders and thinkers.
