“Silence Roared Louder”: Anand Mahindra Reacts to Gukesh’s Victory Over Carlsen

June 3, 2025, 4:58 pm

Billionaire chess patron Anand Mahindra praises GM Gukesh over his victory against Magnus Carlsen in the Norway chess tournament 2025 and for keeping a calm and composed temperament during the game. GM Gukesh, in a highly anticipated match, streamed live across multiple media and digital channels, defeated Magnus Carlsen, arguably the greatest chess player of all time, in Round 6 of the 2025 Norway Chess tournament.

At the beginning of the game, Carlsen was winning; however, his early advantage could not result in a positive outcome for him, as a rare mistake in the endgame allowed Gukesh to turn the match around with calm precision.

Anand Mahindra’s Reaction To Gukesh’s Victory

Billionaire Anand Mahindra, who has been a vocal supporter of Indian Chess and has provided Indian players with financial incentives and social amplification, praised Gukesh’s calmness, remarking how his quiet confidence spoke volumes, especially when compared to Magnus’ post-match frustrated table-bang.

This majestic win over Carlsen pushes Gukesh to third place in the standings with 8.5 points, just behind Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana, who both lead with 9.5. People had earlier counted Gukesh out after a rough start in the tournament, however, this victory has kept his hopes of winning alive.

Carlsen’s visible frustration at the end wasn’t just a tantrum — it was the greatest compliment the World Champion could receive from the GOAT

No fist pump. No smirk. Gukesh didn’t need one. His silence roared louder than Carlsen’s exit.

Kunal Kamra vs. Anand Mahindra’s Tweets – Who Wins the Roast Battle?

March 28, 2025, 12:34 pm

Comedian Kunal Kamra, who was already in the middle of a controversy for his mockery of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, has gone viral again—this time for his satirical response to industrialist Anand Mahindra.

In a widely shared clip, Kamra made light of Mahindra’s incessant social media posts, commenting, “Anand Mahindra bhi buddha hai (Anand Mahindra is also old). He tweets about everything – thermodynamics, marine biology, radioactivity – except how to make his cars better.”

Kunal Kamra also mocked Mahindra’s participation in AI conferences, joking that sarcastic invitations were misinterpreted as real interest.

Kunal Kamra Mocks Mahindra’s Optimism Amid Crisis

Kamra also mocked Mahindra’s upbeat attitude during crises. He remembered a past tweet in which Anand Mahindra shared a video of kids playing on a double-decker bus amidst the floods in Mumbai, captioned, “When life gives you lemons.” The comedian mocked the tweet, suggesting that optimism must not hijack serious issues.

Controversy of Kunal Kamra Over Shinde Parody Escalates

Kamra’s recent set at the Habitat Comedy Club in Mumbai’s Khar aimed at Eknath Shinde sparked major outrage. BJP leader Pravin Darekar filed a breach of privilege notice against Kamra, accusing him of using “personal and insulting references” against the Deputy CM.

A parody song sung by Kamra on January 3 resurfaced months later, prompting violent retribution. Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) supporters vandalized the comedy club and the hotel where the performance took place, sparking a legal battle and public debate over artistic freedom.

Legal Battle Intensifies

In fear of arrest, 36-year-old Kamra has moved the Madras High Court seeking transit anticipatory bail. His lawyer, V Suresh, moved the petition late last night, stating that the allegations brought against Kamra are “frivolous” and intended to “harass and intimidate” Kamra. The petition claims that Kamra was exercising his fundamental right to freedom of speech.

At the same time, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has called for an apology from Kamra, and opposition leader Uddhav Thackeray has stood up for the comedian’s right to satire. Undeterred by the backlash, Kamra took to Instagram and shared a photo of himself cradling the Indian Constitution on Sunday night, captioned: “The only way forward.”

Anand Mahindra Meets Sunita Williams While Waiting for Uber

March 19, 2025, 5:09 pm

Anand Mahindra recently recalled a remarkable meeting with astronaut Sunita Williams, who had come back to Earth after a long nine-month space flight. What was originally intended as a short spaceflight became an extended sojourn because of technical issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Along with astronaut Butch Wilmore, she had to survive months of difficulties before being successfully returned by SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft.

After getting news of their successful return, Mahindra posted his relief and praise for Williams, writing on Twitter: “When the SpaceX rescue mission was embarked upon, I remembered this unplanned meeting a little more than two years ago with Sunita Williams in Washington. What an relief to watch her and her crew mates’ successful splashdown back on planet earth some hours ago. She is as bold as could be and we are glad to have her back among us. Swagatam, Sunita.”

Mahindra also posted a nostalgic selfie in Washington during a July 2023 gathering in which he posed with Mukesh Ambani, Vrinda Kapoor, and Williams.

When the SpaceX recue mission was launched, I recalled this chance encounter almost two years ago with @Astro_Suni in Washington.

It was an enormous relief to see her and her colleagues’ successful splashdown back on earth a few hours ago.

She is courage personified and… https://t.co/E64p9YX5t3

Williams had embarked on an eight-day spaceflight but spent over 270 days on the International Space Station because of a technical fault with their spacecraft. After exhausting efforts by engineers to correct the problems, Williams and Wilmore eventually returned to Earth with a spectacular splashdown off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida.

Anand Mahindra Praises Kash Patel’s FBI Role: ‘Mind It!’

February 23, 2025, 12:38 am

Mahindra & Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra responded to Kash Patel’s appointment as the new FBI director in a post on platform X. On Saturday, February 22, Mahindra wrote:

“Kash Patel, new Director of the FBI. Doesn’t look like you can mess with this guy… Mind it.”

Kash Patel, new Director of the FBI

Doesn’t look like you can mess with this guy…

— anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) February 22, 2025

His message soon picked up speed, with Twitter users sharing their own opinions about the appointment of Patel.

Netizens React to Kash Patel’s Appointment

Several users on X echoed Mahindra’s sentiments, lauding Patel’s stern demeanor and leadership.

“Men on a mission looks like a Hollywood classic in action via Kash Patel,” Nayak Satya wrote back.

Others, such as Sandeep M, are confident that Patel will reform the agency. “Exactly, sir. @Kash_Patel is gonna rock and get things back on track,” he replied.

Kash Patel Assumes as FBI Director

Kash Patel was sworn in as the director of the FBI on Friday, February 21, after a close Senate vote. The Indian-American referred to it as the best opportunity of his career to head the country’s premier law enforcement agency.

“Anyone who thinks the American Dream is dead, look right here. You’re talking to a first-generation Indian kid who is about to lead the law enforcement community in the greatest nation on God’s Earth,” Patel stated upon taking the oath. He also promised to hold the FBI accountable and adopt “rigorous constitutional oversight starting this weekend.”

Donald Trump Supports Patel’s Leadership

US former President Donald Trump showed strong backing for Patel, saying that he thinks Patel will be the greatest FBI Director in history. “I think he’ll go down as the best ever at that position,” Trump said on Friday to reporters, as quoted by the Associated Press.

He also asserted that Patel enjoys high support from FBI agents, adding, “agents love this guy.”

Challenges Await Patel at the FBI

Patel takes the helm at a pivotal time for the FBI. The Justice Department has just removed several high-ranking officials and asked for the identities of thousands of agents who participated in investigations related to the January 6, 2021, storming of the Capitol.

With Patel taking on this difficult task, everyone is watching to see how he will meet the demands of heading the country’s premier law enforcement agency.

Anand Mahindra Responds to Tesla’s India Entry with Bold Confidence

February 18, 2025, 2:35 pm

Tesla recently posted 13 job openings in India on LinkedIn, signaling its plans to enter the market. This move came shortly after Tesla CEO Elon Musk met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the U.S.

Anand Mahindra Responds to Tesla Challenge

Meanwhile, a social media user, Girish Arora, asked Anand Mahindra how his company would handle competition from Tesla. Notably, Mahindra had just launched two new EVs, BE 6 and XEV 9e.

In response, Mahindra confidently stated, “We have been asked similar questions ever since the opening up of the Indian economy in 1991.” He recalled how, at that time, many doubted whether Mahindra could compete against Tata, Maruti, and global automakers.

“But we’re still around,” he asserted. “And working like maniacs to still be around & relevant even a century from now.” He concluded on an optimistic note, saying, “With you cheering us on, we will make that happen…”

Tesla’s Hiring Plans in India

At the same time, Tesla has started recruiting for multiple roles, including:

Tesla Advisor
Inside Sales Advisor
Customer Support Specialist
Consumer Engagement Manager
Service Manager
Order Operations Specialist
Business Operations Analyst
Store Manager
Parts Advisor
Service Advisor
Delivery Operations Specialist
Customer Support Supervisor

Interestingly, at least five positions, including service technicians and advisory roles, are available in both Mumbai and Delhi. On the other hand, positions like customer engagement manager and delivery operations specialist are only for Mumbai.

Tesla Eyes India to Boost Sales

It is important to note that Tesla’s sales dropped in 2023 for the first time in nearly a decade. Given that India’s EV market is still in its early stages, Tesla sees an opportunity to regain momentum and expand its global reach.

As a result, its entry into India could intensify competition with domestic automakers like Mahindra, Tata, and Maruti. In the long run, this could shape the future of the electric vehicle industry in India.

Anand Mahindra Calls for Improved Crowd Control Measures After Delhi Stampede

February 17, 2025, 11:24 am

One day following the dreadful stampede at New Delhi Railway Station that killed 18 people, industrialist Anand Mahindra stressed the urgency of a thorough national plan to avert future catastrophes. Describing the event as a “national disaster,” he emphasized that crowd control and safety must be given precedence throughout the country.

Need of a Crowd Control Structure

“We require a framework for crowd management that integrates technology and process analysis,” Mahindra stated on X. He urged Mahindra University’s Engineering and Management schools to collaborate on developing an actionable plan for better crowd management. “We all must contribute,” he added, calling for collective effort from various sectors.

Information on the Stampede Event

The stampede occurred around 10 p.m. on Saturday, as thousands of pilgrims rushed to board a special train to Prayagraj for the Mahakumbh. Eyewitnesses suggested panic spread after rumors that the Prayagraj Express would arrive on a different platform, leading to a chaotic rush. However, railway officials dismissed this explanation and attributed the incident to overcrowding at the station.

The chain reaction that brought about the disaster

Northern Railway’s Chief Public Relations Officer, Himanshu Upadhyay, clarified that the situation worsened when passengers coming from a foot-over-bridge toward platforms 14 and 15 fell down, starting a chain of events. Delayed Swatantrata Senani Express and Bhubaneswar Rajdhani made the traffic on platforms 12, 15, and 16 much worse, thereby worsening the confusion.

Casualties and Medical Response

Many of the victims were taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where physicians verified chest and stomach wounds and where experts believe asphyxia was the cause of death. For the deceased, Indian Railways declared compensation for the victims’ families: Rs10 lakh; Rs2.5 lakh for the really wounded; and Rs1 lakh for the little injuries.

High-Level Inquiry and Strengthened Security Measures

Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw confirmed that a “high-level inquiry” has been initiated into the stampede. One investigation committee made up of two members—PCCM Narsingh Deo of Northern Railway and PCSC Pankaj Gangwar—has been established to look into the incident. Reacting to the disaster, New Delhi Railway Station’s security has been beefed up in terms of more police officers and barriers to control crowd flow.

Anand Mahindra Reacts to El Salvador’s US Prisoner Deal: “Hope India Never…”

February 8, 2025, 11:11 am

Regarding El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele’s plan to allow convicted American felons for a fee, Anand Mahindra has voiced his opposition. The Mahindra Group Chairperson called the idea an outsourcing opportunity he hopes India “never” embraces.

Proposal of El Salvador to the US

Known for his forceful attack on crime, President Bukele proposed the transfer of US inmates to CECOT—El Salvador’s high-security jail. This, he contended, would both make El Salvador’s prison structure fiscally sustainable and cost the US a very cheap solution. Bukele wrote in X, “Though significant for us, the charge would be quite little for the United States, hence making our entire prison system sustainable.”

We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system.

We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted U.S. citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee.

The fee would be relatively low for… pic.twitter.com/HTNwtp35Aq

Mahindra’s Reaction to the Idea

In response to Bukele’s suggestion, Anand Mahindra posted, “This is one &’ outsourcing’ opportunity I hope India never becomes the champion of…”

This is one ‘outsourcing’ opportunity that I hope India never becomes the champion of… https://t.co/TAGU3iA9du

— anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) February 7, 2025

His comments come in light of rumors of an agreement with El Salvador and the Trump White House. The United States is currently detaining unauthorized immigrants in federal jails as part of Donald Trump’s effort to restrict illegal migration. Used throughout cities including Los Angeles, Miami, and Philadelphia, detention centers are meant to hold 500 prisoners in Miami’s jail. Staffing problems, violence, and bad infrastructure have the US prison system under stress, therefore prompting authorities to investigate different possibilities.

US Secretary of State Calls It an “Extraordinary” Offer

El Salvador’s offer was termed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio as “the most notable and remarkable migratory agreement anywhere in the world.” He observed that El Salvador had agreed to keep on receiving deported citizens while also accepting criminal deportees of any nationality, including that from groups such as MS-13 and Tren de Aragua.

Rubio admitted legal obstacles even while he lauded it as a “remarkable show of friendship.” We have a constitution. Still, it’s a very kind offer, authorization will have to choose.”

Within El Salvador’s CECOT Mega-Prison

With a 2023 starting date and room for as many as 40,000 inmates, CECOT, a high-security facility in Tecoluca, is one of the biggest prisons in the world. Since March 2022, he has made more than 84,000 arrests.

El Salvador was home to some 36,000 inmates in April 2021 prior to the crackdown. For a nation of only 6.36 million people, that is quite a lot, reaching 110,000 by March 2024. Harsh rules and human rights worries over mass detentions without due process have subjected the prison to global criticism.

‘I Better Play Him..’: Anand Mahindra Awed by 3-Year-Old Chess Prodigy Anish Sarkar

November 3, 2024, 4:08 pm

Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra Group, recently expressed his admiration for a young chess sensation, Anish Sarkar, who at just 3 years and 8 months has made history as the youngest FIDE-rated player with an impressive 1555 rating. Known for his enthusiasm for chess, Mahindra took to social media to share a video of Anish in action, marveling at the young boy’s talent.

In his post, Mahindra humorously acknowledged his own chess level, stating, “At the age of 69, I think I play at a level of 1500,” and quipped, “I better play him while I can still keep up for a few moves.”

An Early Rise in Chess

Anish Sarkar’s talent became evident in his first classic chess rating tournament, where he scored 5.5 out of 8. He gained significant attention after executing a precise Queen-rook checkmate at the 1st SXCCA All Bengal Rapid Rating Open 2024. The young prodigy’s journey has only just begun, but his remarkable start has already captivated fans and experts alike.

Vishwanathan Anand’s Own Path

Interestingly, Indian chess icon Vishwanathan Anand, synonymous with chess excellence, began playing the game at age 6, highlighting how early Anish’s journey truly is. The future looks promising for this young star, and fans eagerly await what’s next in his chess career.

IIT Delhi Alumni’s High-Tech Home Gym Aroleap X Gains Anand Mahindra’s Support Amid Mixed Reactions

October 25, 2024, 7:16 pm

A group of IIT Delhi alumni has developed Aroleap X, a high-tech home gym, attracting interest and debate in the Indian fitness community. Founded by Aman Rai, Amal George Mechirackal, Anurag Dani, and Rohit Patel, their Bengaluru-based startup, Aroleap, aims to make data-driven personal training accessible with this compact, AI-enabled gym equipment. The product, priced at around Rs. 1.7 lakh, featured recently on Shark Tank India, sparking mixed reactions from viewers.

Anand Mahindra’s Support Draws Attention

Auto industry titan Anand Mahindra expressed his interest in Aroleap X on social media, appreciating the innovative blend of mechanics and physical therapy principles. “A clever convergence of mechanics & physical therapy principles to design a product that has global potential,” Mahindra commented, adding that it could fit well in small apartments and business hotels.

Mixed Reactions and Criticism of High Pricing

However, Aroleap X faced backlash online, with some users claiming the design resembles Tonal, a similar American product launched in 2015. Commenters questioned the high price point and the necessity for further innovation, arguing that comparable home gyms already exist in international markets. Critics also noted the lack of experience and high cost, calling for a more affordable version to appeal to a wider Indian audience.

As of now, Aroleap has not responded to the criticism.

Watch: Anand Mahindra Hits ‘Mumbai-Style’ Traffic In Venice, User Jokes: ‘At Least There’s No Honking!’

September 16, 2024, 5:17 pm

During a recent trip to Venice, Mumbai-based industrialist Anand Mahindra encountered an amusingly familiar situation—a traffic jam. Known for its stunning landscapes, Venice surprised Mahindra with a boat traffic jam that reminded him of Mumbai’s streets, though he found it much less stressful.

Sharing the experience on the social media platform X, Mahindra posted a video of boats navigating a narrow canal and humorously likened it to Mumbai’s notorious traffic congestion. He wrote, “Traveled all the way to Venice only to run into a Mumbai-style traffic jam! (Ok, I admit this traffic pile-up is less stressful).”

Watch:

The post quickly sparked reactions from users. One person commented, “In monsoons, you can visit Delhi instead of Venice. You will get a similar experience at a fraction of the cost.” Another user shared, “That’s a humorous way to put it! It’s funny how certain experiences, like traffic jams, can be so universally familiar, even in a city as picturesque as Venice. And it’s good to know that this one is a bit more relaxing!”

Despite the lighthearted take, many users expressed admiration for Venice’s serene beauty. One remarked, “No honking, no pollution, I’d take this any day.” Another simply added, “It is a great place to visit.”

Anand Mahindra Sets the Record Straight on Luxury Car Claims

September 4, 2024, 9:54 am

Industrialist Anand Mahindra has clarified the types of vehicles he owns, dispelling rumors that he drives foreign luxury cars. This response came after a false story circulated, claiming that Mahindra owned high-end cars like a Ferrari, Porsche, and Mercedes-Benz. Mahindra, a strong supporter of the “Make in India” initiative, affirmed that he exclusively drives vehicles made by Mahindra & Mahindra.

The issue arose when a user on X questioned why Mahindra was allegedly using foreign cars. In response, Mahindra stated, “I was taught to drive by my mother in her light sky-blue Premier car, which she named ‘BlueBird.’ Since joining Mahindra in 1991, I have only driven vehicles manufactured by our company.”

Given Mr. Anand Mahindra’s strong advocacy for “Made in India,” why does he opt to drive BMW and Mercedes cars instead of a Mahindra Thar, which is built by his own company? @anandmahindra pic.twitter.com/aHl299W1DI

— Rattan Dhillon (@ShivrattanDhil1) September 1, 2024

Currently, Mahindra drives a red Mahindra Scorpio N, a model made by his own company, and occasionally uses his wife’s silver Mahindra XUV 700. He also addressed a photo circulating online of him standing in front of a foreign car. He clarified that the image was taken at Monterey Car Week during the launch of Mahindra’s Battista electric hypercar, and the car shown, a classic Cisitalia, was designed by Pininfarina, which is owned by Mahindra.

Have just witnessed the anatomy of fake news ! How a blatant lie gets blind validation by moral granstanders & then spreads! Scary how someone like @anandmahindra who has never owned any car (even privately) other than a Mahindra for the last 30+ years can get so easily maligned https://t.co/8PDKbRgnwm

— Hormazd Sorabjee (@hormazdsorabjee) September 1, 2024

Hormazd Sorabjee, editor of Autocar India, supported Mahindra’s statement, confirming that for the last 30 years, he has only driven Mahindra vehicles. Sorabjee tweeted, “It’s not just made-in-India, it’s made-in-Mahindra for Anand Mahindra who has owned & driven ONLY a Mahindra for the last 30+ years.”

Hormazd, you have covered Mahindra since the time I joined the company. So you are in a unique position to call out this fabricated and fake story. Thank you.

— anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) September 2, 2024

Mahindra also shared a list of the vehicles he has owned and driven. After learning to drive in his mother’s Premier car, he moved on to a soft-top Mahindra CJ3 UV, followed by a Hindustan Motors Contessa upon joining Mahindra & Mahindra. When the hard-top Armada was launched, he switched to that, followed by other Mahindra models like the Bolero, Scorpio Classic, XUV 5OO, and now the Scorpio N. Since the release of the Armada, he stated, he has never owned or used a vehicle from any other brand.

Anand Mahindra Criticized for Posting Garba Video in Flood-Hit Gujarat: ‘Romanticizing Crippled Infrastructure

September 2, 2024, 3:12 pm

Anand Mahindra, typically known for his social media savvy, faced backlash after posting a video on X showing people performing garba in flood-affected Gujarat. The region had recently witnessed severe rainfall, leading to the tragic deaths of at least 47 people.

While the video intended to show a resilient spirit, it sparked criticism from users. Many found it inappropriate to share lighthearted content when India’s infrastructure is under scrutiny, particularly with recent complaints of cars being damaged by heavy rain, electrocution incidents on waterlogged streets, and major traffic disruptions in areas like Gujarat.

As social media has been inundated with appeals for help and assistance amid these challenges, Mahindra’s positive portrayal of the situation was not well-received. One user commented, “This is how billionaires make Indians feel they are one of them: Romanticize crippled infrastructure.” Another wrote, “This shows the country is not developing,” while others expressed frustration over the normalization of subpar conditions.

Gujarat aur Garba

Ek gazab ka rishta…

— anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) August 31, 2024

Despite the backlash, some praised the video for showing resilience in the face of adversity. However, others pointed out the dangers of dancing in waterlogged streets, citing the risks of electrocution. A user warned, “This is actually plain stupidity. Multiple deaths have occurred due to electrocution during the floods, and people need to exercise caution.”

Mahindra’s post thus stirred mixed reactions, highlighting the balance between celebrating resilience and addressing real dangers in times of crisis.

Anand Mahindra’s ‘No, No, No’ Reaction To Vinesh Phogat’s Disqualification

August 7, 2024, 2:00 pm

Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat faced a heartbreaking disqualification from the women’s 50 kg freestyle final at the Paris Olympics 2024 due to a weight issue. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) reported that Phogat was found to be 100 grams over the weight limit during the official weigh-in on Wednesday morning, leading to her disqualification from the final match.

HAVE A LOOK:

NO! NO! NO!

Please make this a bad dream that I will wake up from and find it isn’t true… https://t.co/T5BLQCkLVI

— anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) August 7, 2024

The news of Phogat’s disqualification sent shockwaves through the sports community and among her supporters. Industrialist Anand Mahindra voiced his disbelief on X (formerly Twitter), expressing a wish that the disqualification was just a bad dream. “NO! NO! NO! Please make this a bad dream that I will wake up from and find it isn’t true,” Mahindra tweeted.

Entrepreneur Vishal Dayama added a more lighthearted comment, suggesting that the extra weight was due to “that invincible medal she has been wearing all this time.” As a result of the disqualification, the hashtag “100 gm” trended on X, reflecting the widespread reaction from fans and supporters.

Despite the setback, many took to social media to show their support for Vinesh Phogat. One user declared, “For us Indians, you’ve already won gold Vinesh,” highlighting the widespread admiration for her achievements.

Phogat, 29, had made history by becoming the first Indian woman wrestler to reach the gold medal bout. Her journey to the final was particularly poignant, given her role as a prominent figure in the wrestlers’ protest against former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who faces allegations of sexual harassment.

The disqualification means that Vinesh Phogat will end her Olympic campaign without a medal, as international regulations dictate that any wrestler found overweight at the time of weigh-in is placed at the bottom of the final standings. This outcome comes as a significant disappointment, given the high expectations surrounding her performance.

Stock Market Crash: Anand Mahindra Recommends Pranayama While Investors Share Memes- See Posts

August 5, 2024, 2:43 pm

As the global stock market dived, Indian business tycoon Anand Mahindra used the opportunity to share a touch of wisdom and wit on social media. On Monday, the Sensex and Nifty both experienced significant drops, with the Sensex tumbling over 3% from 78,588.19 to 78,295.86 and the Nifty 50 falling from 24,302.85 to 23,893.70.

The Stock market crash was largely attributed to growing concerns about a potential recession in the United States. According to experts, other contributing factors include rising tensions in the Middle East, stretched valuations, technical issues, and disappointing first-quarter results.

In response to the market turmoil, Mahindra took to X (formerly Twitter) with a lighthearted yet insightful comment: “Never a better time to deploy the ancient Indian practice of Pranayama. It’s about breathing deeply and looking inwards. What I see is an India that is an oasis in the world. Whose Rise will not be impeded in the medium to long term. Play the long game.”

Anand Mahindra Reacts To Lakshya Sen’s Viral Shot: “If I Were His Opponent, I Would…”

August 2, 2024, 10:44 am

Indian badminton star Lakshya Sen has captivated the sporting world with his outstanding performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics. In a gripping match against Indonesia’s world number 4 Jonatan Christie, Lakshya secured an impressive 21-18, 21-12 victory and executed an extraordinary shot that went viral on social media.

Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra, known for his sharp wit, took a playful jab at Lakshya Sen’s daring behind-the-back shot.

What Anand Mahindra Said

The shot in question was a jaw-dropping “behind-the-back” stroke that left spectators and opponents stunned. Industrialist Anand Mahindra, impressed by this display of skill, humorously suggested that Christie’s only option might be to “cry foul and file a suit” against Lakshya. Mahindra remarked that the young shuttler seemed like an “unnatural opponent who possessed three arms.”

If I was his opponent, I would cry foul & file a suit claiming that I was confronted by an unnatural opponent who possessed three arms…

AI Model Predicts Breast Cancer Risk Years Ahead: Anand Mahindra’s Tweet Goes Viral

July 30, 2024, 4:03 pm

A groundbreaking study on AI model-based breast cancer detection has garnered renewed attention following a recent tweet by business mogul Anand Mahindra. The study, conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and the Jameel Clinic, was first published in January 2021 but has gained viral status thanks to Mahindra’s endorsement. He commented on the potential impact of AI in healthcare, stating, “If this is accurate, then AI is going to be of significantly more value to us than we imagined and much earlier than we had imagined…(sic).”

The research introduces “Mirai,” an advanced deep learning system designed to predict breast cancer risk up to five years in advance, even in the absence of symptoms. This AI model leverages mammograms—standard X-ray images of the breast—to assess risk. It stands out for its ability to maintain high accuracy despite variations in clinical settings, such as different types of mammography machines.

If this is accurate, then AI is going to be of significantly more value to us than we imagined and much earlier than we had imagined… https://t.co/5Mo2cT7X7T

— anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) July 28, 2024

Mirai was trained using over 200,000 mammogram exams from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and has been further tested in international locations, including Karolinska Institute in Sweden and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan. The model has demonstrated superior performance compared to existing risk-assessment algorithms, including the Tyrer-Cuzick model, by predicting nearly twice as many future cancer diagnoses.

The AI system’s architecture comprises four key modules:

Image Aggregator: Collects and processes all conventional mammography images to create a comprehensive representation of the mammogram.
Data Aggregation: Compiles image data from various views.
Risk-Factor Prediction: Utilizes mammography to estimate the patient’s risk factors if available.
Additive-Hazard Layer: Combines patient risk variables and mammography analysis to forecast annual risk over the next five years.

Adam Yala, the study’s lead author from MIT, emphasized the model’s capacity to extract subtle cues from mammograms that indicate future cancer development. Regina Barzilay, a professor at MIT, highlighted Mirai’s advantage over traditional models, noting its consistent performance across diverse races, ages, and family histories.

As AI technology continues to evolve, This AI model represents a significant leap forward in personalized cancer prevention, offering hope for earlier detection and more effective management of breast cancer.

Bharat Agri Founder Receives Praise From Industrialist Anand Mahindra

July 11, 2024, 6:36 pm

The Indian startup named Bharat Agri’s business lessons received wholesome praise from famous industrialist Anand Mahindra.

The founder received praise, when he recounted the story of his best-selling product the mining torch. Reacting to Siddharth Dialani’s post, Anand Mahindra called an ‘object lesson in how entrepreneurial opportunities arise.’

He lauded the young businessman for attending to his customer’s needs.

What’s The Story Behind Mining Torch?

It all started, when Bharat-co founder shared a post about how hands-free torches became a best-seller in their platform.

As per Dialani, his team noted the consecutive increase in torches sale on Bharat Agri. Despite torches not being an agricultural product, they were shocked by the surge in orders.

Later, he spoke to some farmers, and he got to know, that farmers utilize torches at night during power cuts.

Their team went one step ahead and asked, in what manner, they can help the farmers? In response, farmers suggested, that they want hands-free torch, so that they can utilize their both hands while farming.

Taking this feedback, BharatAgri introduced a ‘mining torch’, which can be strapped to the forehead.

As per Siddharth Dialani, the mining torch later became a top-selling product in their category. Their rechargeable mining torch stands at Rs.₹779.

Take a Look At The Post

We were observing that torch sales were picking up consistently on the BharatAgri platform.

We were intrigued as this is not an agricultural product, so we didn’t anticipate this.

Anand Mahindra Praises Siddharth Dialani

Amazed by the story, Anand Mahindra lauded Siddharth Dialani for attending to his customers.

Concluding his post, the seasoned industrialist said, that even though AI might learn consumer patterns, but the rules of business will always remain same.

This is an object lesson in how entrepreneurial opportunities arise.

You may not always be able to anticipate customer needs far in advance.

You have to keep your ears to the ground, keep your eyes open and look for telltale SIGNS of an evolving need.

Hardik Pandya’s Emotional Redemption Fuels Anand Mahindra’s Monday Motivation

July 1, 2024, 4:57 pm

Industrialist Anand Mahindra has found his source of Monday Motivation this week in cricketer Hardik Pandya, who played a pivotal role in India’s victory over South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024 final held in Barbados on June 29.

Pandya’s remarkable performance came after a challenging season in the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he faced significant criticism as the new captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI), replacing Rohit Sharma. Despite the backlash, Pandya’s perseverance and resilience shone through during the World Cup final, where he bowled the nerve-wracking last over, sealing India’s historic win.

In a heartfelt post on social media, Mahindra shared a picture of Pandya in tears after the victory, captioning it with an inspiring message: “Take a good look. This is the face of a sportsperson who was being heckled on the field and roasted on social media a very short while ago. His tears came from seeing redemption. Because when that picture was taken, he was a hero again. For having bowled the nerve-wracking last over in the #T20WorldCupFinal and being one of the key players in achieving India’s victory. The moral? Whenever life deals you a blow and knocks you down, you can, and will, rise again. He’s my #MondayMotivation.”

Take a good look.

Pandya’s emotional reaction to the win reflected the immense pressure and hard work he endured. Speaking to a broadcaster after the match, Pandya said, “It means a lot. Very emotional, we’ve been working very hard, and something was not clicking. But today we got what the whole nation wanted. More special for me, how my last six months were, I haven’t spoken a word. I knew that if I kept working hard, I could shine and do what I could do. Getting an opportunity like this makes it more special.”

India’s victory in the T20 World Cup makes them only the third team in the history of the format to lift the trophy twice. Mahindra’s tribute to Pandya resonated with social media users, who applauded the cricketer’s journey of redemption and resilience.

Anand Mahindra On Pakistan’s ICC T20 World Cup Exit: “Truly Cruel…”

June 15, 2024, 7:11 pm

The US team on Friday, June 15, advanced past the group stage of the T20 World Cup after their match against Ireland was called off due to heavy rains in Lauderhill. This result eliminated former champions Pakistan from the tournament. The match was highly anticipated, as Pakistan’s fate hinged on its outcome. The washout resulted in both the US and Ireland receiving one point each. The US concluded the group stage with five points from four games, while Pakistan, even if they win their final match against Ireland, can only achieve a maximum of four points.

The likelihood of the match proceeding on Friday was always low, as Florida, where Lauderhill is located, had been experiencing a tropical thunderstorm, causing continuous rain and flash flooding.

Could Flying Taxis Become a Reality In India ? Anand Mahindra Thinks So

May 13, 2024, 3:28 pm

Flying taxis have often been considered a pinnacle of technological advancement for decades. And, they also act as a symbol of technological expertise that is possessed by a country.

However, by 2025, this might become a reality in India. Taking to X, the chairperson of Mahindra & Mahindra Anand Mahindra has recently revealed the details of India’s first flying taxis, which is developed by company incubated at IIT Madras.

The eplane company.

A company being incubated at IIT Madras to build a flying electric taxi by sometime next year…

— anand mahindra (@anandmahindra) May 10, 2024

In addition, Mahindra also shared pictures along with details of the upcoming ePlane.

As per the released information, this electric e-taxi enjoys the range upto 200 km, will take off, and land vertically

It also enjoys the payload capacity of 200 kgs, meaning it will easily be able to carry two passengers at once.

Even though some details are still under wraps, the company has revealed that these flying taxis will operate at altitude level of 0.5 to 2.0 km. Will travel at the speed of upto 200 kmph.

Thus, making customers reach on their destination, a lot faster compared to road vehicles.

What Will be The Fare of These Taxis?

Meanwhile, the fare of these taxis will be double, in comparison to road taxis. Thus, including the benefits of taking just 10 minutes for covering distances of upto 10 km.

What Is The Current Status Of This Project?

With the prototype just at the first step, a lot of work is left, before people witness the flying electric taxis in skies.

However, in order to make this project a reality, regulations and necessary infrastructure is needed, in order to ensure safe and efficient operations.

But it is said, with development of larger fleet, the rates will later come on par with a regular app-based taxi.

UPSC more difficult than IIT JEE, X users tell Anand Mahindra

February 5, 2024, 12:32 pm

Anand Mahindra, who previously commended the movie 12th Fail and its lead actor Vikrant Massey for his performance, revealed on Sunday that he was motivated to look for additional information about how candidates study for the test and how challenging it is to pass it. An IIT alumnus who had also taken the UPSC exams reportedly informed him that the latter was more challenging while doing this.

The movie 12th Fail, which started the conversation, is based on the life of Manoj Kumar Sharma, an IPS officer who overcame severe poverty to pursue a career as a police officer.

“After seeing 12th Fail I checked around and spoke to several young people about the relative difficulty of our entrance exams. One of them was a graduate of IIT who is involved in a business startup but who has also taken the UPSC exam,” Anand Mahindra wrote on X. “He stated EMPHATICALLY that UPSC is much tougher than the IIT JEE.”

The chairperson of Mahindra Group also shared a post listing the top ten most difficult tests globally, with three from India including IIT JEE at number 2, UPSC at number 3, and GATE at number 8. Mahindra said that if the feedback he received was true then the global rankings should be updated to reflect it.

However, X users’ reactions to the post revealed different perspectives on the examinations.

“One of my relatives cleared IIT in the first attempt and cracked UPSC in 4th attempt. He always says that UPSC is the ‘mother of all exams’,” commented Neetu Khandelwal (@T_Investor_). Another user and government official Rahman Sheikh (@rahmanology) wrote, “The exam itself is not tough but it has 3 stages and every graduate can take it which makes the competition very tough. One small mistake and you are out of the race. But if the difficulty level of question papers is compared, of course, JEE is much tougher.”
