Quizmaster Ajay Poonia takes center stage, ready to put the brightest minds to test.
Adyasha Satpathy, CEO of OrissaPOST and Dharitri, said this year marks a decade of OrissaPOST Mettle Meet, which began in 2016. “Over the past decade, Mettle Meet has made a significant mark in the world of quizzing. The spirit of quizzing continues to thrive, and we are proud to see this journey grow from strength to strength. Even in today’s technology-driven world, print will continue to survive and evolve with the help of technology. The same spirit of adaptation and innovation is reflected in Mettle Meet. May the best team win, but most importantly, enjoy the quiz. Winning is secondary; real joy lies in learning, participating and celebrating the spirit of quizzing.”
Tathagata Satpathy, Editor of OrissaPOST and Dharitri, said quizzing is an art through which one discovers oneself and that the prize is secondary. He added that after India’s youth recently demonstrated the power of non-violence and ahimsa, it is now Gen Z’s turn to showcase its intelligence, curiosity and sharp thinking through quizzing and use these qualities to succeed in life.
Every seat is taken, every eye is on the stage. The energy inside Mettle Meet 2026 says it all. The challenge is about to begin.
