A really interesting conversation on leadership with @adammendler. Thank you for having me on the show Adam.

Find your well of energy by knowing your purpose. Hear more from our CEO, Viren Popli, and @adammendler as they discuss the importance of purpose in leadership.

@amazon my return seems to be on a national tour… 😂 doesn’t seem like the logistics guys are being very efficient and cost conscious.

@DarioAmodei
I have a suggestion, can you create a family subscription? We are a family of 4. We have 4 separate accounts,2 on Claude, 1 on CGPT and 1 on Gemini, having all 4 together makes it easier and hopefully cheaper.

[Viren Popli @virenpopli]

@anandmahindra We didn’t! Even our dealers complain that they don’t have enough tractors coming for repair to keep their workshops busy🤷🏽‍♂️ @Mahindra_USA

I wish our team in the U.S could claim credit for this clip & say they had paid this farm influencer…

Because it would rank as one of our cleverest ads/promotions…

🙂

It’s no surprise the Washington is not worried about the #TSA mess. I flew through #DCA. Wait times were 5 mins and meanwhile @iah is talking about 3 Hours +. @GregAbbott_TX can’t have the 8th largest economy in the world held back like this. What’s plan B?

[Viren Popli @virenpopli]

@iah Clear charged me for concierge express which I booked for today and sent me a confirmation message as well.

Spotted at Toronto Airport! How do they know?

Powerful words

A significant milestone for Mahindra Agri North America @Mahindra_USA

I vividly remember when our company tentatively introduced our tractors to the USA more than 3 decades ago.

We had a legendary colleague, Rip Evans who—dressed in his trademark ironed jeans and cowboy hat & boots—would load one tractor at a time on his beat-up pickup truck and drive around Texas introducing sceptical farmers to this ‘sturdy Indian tractor!’

We’ve traveled a good distance since then to become a major player in the North American Ag Equipment market.

But we will stay humble, retain our challenger mindset and continued to focus on the needs of our customers—farmers who work tirelessly to feed a continent and who deserve the best we can offer.

@airindia I have responded. I had to cancel and rebook tickets. Bottom line, this is a wrong policy & needs to be changed. The website and app told me to arrive at the airport and check in there. If I had followed instructions I would have had no choice but to buy whatever ticket you sold.

[Viren Popli @virenpopli]

@airindia @DGCAIndia the most absurd rule. If you miss one leg of your multicity or round trip flight @airindia takes all your money and cancels all the rest of the tickets as well even if you need to fly. This is a ripoff.

[Viren Popli @virenpopli]

Could not have said it better. There is now 28% additional arbitrage between China & India. Yes we will have to manage the additional 26% tariff but now is the time for Indian manufacturing to step out & step up & for the Indian government to quickly unleash their animal spirits.

[anand mahindra @anandmahindra]

Most of the speculation today in global fora on the global impact of the U.S tariffs revolves around China: What might be its reaction (China today announced strong retaliatory tariffs) and how it might, in fact, BENEFIT from a new world order.

India, admittedly, is not a major topic of discussion.

But I believe most are missing out on the fact that not too long from now, India will be the world’s third largest economy and one that is also the world’s largest democracy. It is also relatively well placed given its enormous domestic consumption and its strong indigenous supply chains.

So India has a significant opportunity to become a major ‘pole’ of a new, multipolar world.

It would behoove us to have a measured reaction to the tariff impositions and respond in a way that doesn’t jeopardise our long term, strategic interests.

We must build scenarios of the policies we should rapidly adopt to leverage the situation and emerge as the first and most reliable economic partner of countries around the world.

[anand mahindra @anandmahindra]

This is not just another video for me…

When Pawan Goenka decided to return to India in the early ‘90s, leaving behind a job at General Motors, I managed to convince him to join @Mahindra_Auto at Nashik as Deputy Head of R&D

He often relates how when he first went to Nashik and saw the &D ‘shed’ and its rudimentary state, he began questioning his decision to come back.

However, he stayed on, and as the Head of R&D, he led the development of the Scorpio.

He eventually rose to become the MD & CEO of M&M Ltd, and through his entire tenure at the company, laid the foundations of the World class R&D centre we have today.

Post his retirement, he is leading In-Space, a Department of Space company as its Chairman and has been recently awarded a Padma Shri.

When I see Pawan and his wife Mamta buying one of our first electric origin SUVs, I am flooded by emotions and memories of working alongside him.

I see a man who can take pride in helping to propel the Indian Auto Industry into the future; I see a man endorsing and enjoying the fruits of his own labour.

So, as I said, this is not ordinary video for me.
It is a source of pride and joy.

[anand mahindra @anandmahindra]

A day when one piece of news validates the other….

The hearts of all 250,000+ of us at @MahindraRise are swelling with pride, Rajesh.

This loop hole has done more damage to American SMBs than anything else. They cannot compete with #CheapChina. It first reduces them to be traders & then Temu, Shein, alibaba and Amazon wipe them out. No one lobbies for these family owned businesses. https://t.co/iajfIy4pul

Great to meet our passionate and committed dealers from Illinois and Michigan in Chicago. They get to it… snow or sunshine!! @Mahindra_USA

[Viren Popli @virenpopli]

Started the New Year kicking off our regional meetings at Minneapolis. It’s great to meet our dealers. Family owned business partners with common goals #TogetherWeRise @Mahindra_USA

@matthew_glendon Happy Thanksgiving to the Glendon Family. Lovely smiles all around!
