Posers such as these and other intriguing and entertaining content, of interest and relevance to a tech savvy society, forms the very stuff of an exciting new series of Tech Grandmasters went on air on NDTV Good Times, every weekend, on Saturdays and Sundays at 10.30 pm. Croma, the mega gadget store brand, are the title sponsors of the show, as also donors for a large range of tempting tech prizes on the show.

Following the enthusiastic response of tech aficionados to the first series of Tech Grand Masters last year, once again, the best and brightest teams from corporations, schools and colleges from across India are all out to outwit and outsmart each other, and to establish supremacy in their knowledge of the tech world. Think You Know It All? It's Time To Find Out, is the show's proposition, and it makes for exciting viewing.

In a spanking new futuristic set, with smart packaging, this highly competitive quiz returns with new and clever tweaks.  Based on the familiar game of  Tic Tac Toe, in this format, strategy goes hand in hand  with informed answers as well as intelligent guesswork, together with razor sharp reflexes, resulting in highly engaging head to head contests that are often fought to the very finish . This quiz game format has been devised by Big Synergy, who are also producers of Tech Grandmasters 2, and are well established as leaders in factual entertainment, with milestone shows in this genre such as KBC, Mastermind India, University Challenge, and India's Child Genius.

This tech tournament with its high level quizzing is conducted by Gadget Guru Rajiv Makhni, who not only hosts a number of other shows on NDTV on Technology and Lifestyle (including one in chaste Hindi), he's also anchored India's only daily show on the net, and done a talk show on men. Besides, he owns a clothing company (which makes clothes only for women), loves food so much, that he once ran a chain of restaurants (and sampled everything, everyday). Rajiv has been a successful model (and manages to look sufficiently embarrassed about it when asked) and is currently writing a book (but not on technology).

There's something in it for everyone, and viewers too have a chance to play for terrific prizes from Croma with a home viewer question on every show.
