Shiva Oswal is a resident of Cupertino, CA, and is an avid Quiz Bowl Player. He has participated in Middle School and High School tournaments at the local, state, and national level. Shiva first started playing Quiz Bowl in 5th grade and since then has played in over 23 tournaments.

In January 2017, NAQT began its program of honoring top teams and players each week. As part of this program, Shiva was named the first ever NAQT Middle School Player of the Week for the week of Jan 7, 2017. Later, Shiva was also named to the first ever National Middle School Quiz Bowl A Team for 2017.

Shiva created history at 2018 MSNCT [1] when he single handedly beat top middle school teams in the nation to emerge as NAQT's first ever solo winner at any major Quiz Bowl championship. Three weeks later, he again created history, leading Pi-oneers to two more solo tournament victories, this time at the National History Bowl and the National Academic Bowl, respectively.
