When one Mahindra company (@MahindraTrukBus ) becomes another Mahindra company’s (@Mahindralog_MLL ) biggest billboard… I guess they thought ‘M&M’ should mean ‘Mutual Mileage’ 🙂

Thanks for sharing this @IshanTanna1 What’s even more gratifying: our returns are the highest. What made this happen? There’s never a simple formula, a ‘silver bullet’ that guarantees success & longevity. All I know is that from ’91, we were intensely focused on surviving & on continuous improvement so we could compete with the global giants who were rushing into India post liberalisation that year. And I know that even today, survival & continuous improvement remain our mindset. If there’s any business lesson here, it is that it pays to be paranoid!

It was special when Nyck recently won in Monte Carlo & we heard our national anthem play in that Mecca of motorsport. But for me, it was EXTRA special to have him win today, with the anthem echoing in front of that massive crowd. When I started my journey in the auto industry decades ago, Japan and Japanese cars were the gold standard. I spent countless hours studying them and learning from their excellence. Yes, they are still the benchmark. & we still have miles to go. But I can’t deny the quiet thrill of seeing Japanese automotive fans applaud an Indian brand standing at the top of the podium in electric car racing. Thank you, Nyck, Fred, & Team @MahindraRacing, for giving India & all of us this unforgettable moment. 🙏🏽
