Quadriga was an ancient chariot driven by four horses and was considered an emblem of triumph in Roman mythology. Chariot racing was one of the most popular ancient Roman sport. It demanded a myriad of skills ranging from quick - thinking and agility to foresight and strategy. Some of the organizational aspects of chariot racing also paralleled current practices in modern enterprises. The Quadriga is thus, an abstraction of an organization "driven" by its dynamic managers in a race to outlast and outperform its competitors.

The principal drivers of any organization are the CXOs. These are the ones who chalk out strategies and guide the organization to achieve envisioned goals. Quadriga demands 4 CXOs viz CEO, CFO, CMO and COO - to battle it out in 4 rounds encompassing varied management verticals. Like in chariot racing where the chariots could move in front of each other in an attempt to cause their opponents to crash into the spinae teams would plan out their strategies to quash their competitors' moves. Also, akin to the ancient races, teams would encounter metae or turning points at various stages of the game requiring them to reformulate their strategies in tune with the changing scenario. It is at these critical junctures that naufragia (incapacitation of the chariots) could occur to turn the tables one way or the other.

Even as the teams strive to push forth their ideas in making those countless conflicting decisions, it's their collaborative effort that takes them through the thick and thin of business. This embodies the true spirit of Quadriga. Only the smartest survive...
