What a Founders’ Day experience at Chakan, Pune, yesterday.
It’s our largest automotive plant. 25,000 associates. And with their families there, probably over 35K people thronging the campus in a wonderfully festive mood.
The first time I’ve seen any of our facilities adopt the Republic Day format, with a parade and floats using our diverse range of vehicles to depict our culture.
They even had me riding in a vintage Willys, generously loaned for the occasion by our well-wisher Ratan Singh.
And I daresay some of those floats could have rivalled their Republic Day counterparts!
But as always on Founders’ Day, the limelight was stolen by the children.
And what’s remarkable is how many of them remember the experience well into their adult lives.
I’ve often run into accomplished young people, now established in their careers, who unexpectedly tell me their parents worked at @MahindraRise & they still remember meeting me when they were children on a Founders’ Day outing.
That, for me, is the real magic of Founders’ Day.
