Meet Velu.

He and his team have just introduced the world’s first suspension featuring DaVinci damping technology in the new Mahindra XUV 7XO

As you can see, he can’t conceal his excitement to demonstrate it personally.

Velu, or "Velu Guru” as we affectionately call him, started his journey in a government school in Namakkal, TN, before graduating from Anna University with a https://t.co/0A8EOxeLos in Automotive Engineering.

He joined us as a Junior Engineer and rose through the ranks to become Head of Technology & Product Development.

Last year, he was appointed President of our Automotive Business.

There are thousands more at Mahindra Research Valley & in our entire R&D team cast from the same mould.

Homegrown engineers who are:

Hungry to learn
Hungry to lead
Hungry to take on the world’s best.

India is a talent factory.

Which is why, in 1991, when global consultants suggested we "throw in the towel" as the economy opened up and global competitors were expected to write our obituary, we chose not to listen.

We’re still here.
We’re still learning.
And we’re still driven to serve you with world-class technology.

There’s much more to come…

Velu and our Automotive Team are not just my #MondayMotivation but my constant inspiration

@anandmahindra @iAkankshaP The agraharam living is something we get at Nana Nani homes in Coimbatore a retirement community. A great combination of creature comforts and select tradition. We call it the 5 star Agraharam

@IndiaWeatherMan How is tomorrow night and day after morning expected in terms of rain intensity in the Western suburbs of Mumbai?

[Krishna Gopal @krishg40]

The How is more important than the How Much in reviews. In a QoQ world reviews are largely about How Much.

We need Ownership Training instead of Leadership Training.

@kannurcollector We are staying for 3 days at Krishna Beach Resort in Kannur on the beach road. Wonderful place except that the next door party lawns / hotel plays incredible loud music every evening. Shouldn’t it stop by 10 pm?

[Krishna Gopal @krishg40]

@anandmahindra Unlikely that complete withdrawal will happen till mid October.

[Mumbai Rains @IndiaWeatherMan]

Although Monsoon wont withdraw from Mumbai at least untill 14 October with thunderstorms likely on some days of Navratri. But as per IMD officially Monsoon season will end on 30 September.

[Krishna Gopal @krishg40]

@rushikesh_agre_ Its raining heavily at Goregaon West now. Been so for an hour.

[Krishna Gopal @krishg40]

@IndiaWeatherMan It is raining steadily in Goregaon West now. Looks like a long spell. Pretty overcast.

[Self-Realization Fellowship @srfyogananda]

Which chapter from “Autobiography of a Yogi” do you find most inspiring, and why? Yogananda’s autobiography, first published more than 75 years ago, continues to serve as true ambassador of India’s timeless science of yoga for millions of seekers worldwide.

Someone told me a long time ago that Marketing was Evil.

I was just out of B School with a Marketing specialisation and bristled at the statement.

While any sweeping statement is not right, there is merit when it comes to packaged foods

A @tech_mahindra reunion at a wedding in Chennai at the grand MRC Hall in Santhome. @C_T_Lakshmanan

Its indeed an embarrassment. I think quick money and an intense sense of grabbing resources built in from a young age have made many rich Indians this way.

At buffets you will see them take say 15 “phulkas” for others and make those in line wait for stock to be built

Oh Indian travellers,
while in any other country, don’t forget that you represent all 1,441,303,328 citizens of Bharat & any uncouth, uncivilized behavior/ activity of yours belittles us all!

In Kenya on the safari, we’ve been encountering many Indians behaving irresponsibly- from getting off the jeeps for reels & selfies to climbing atop the jeep (strictly not permitted), yelling on top of their voices passing weird statements, to even touching the animals putting the lives of people as well as animals in danger…😡 If the animal reacts, its ‘mauling’ the humans, & if he does react, he’ll be shot dead in a minute!

Passing thepla/ chaklis across to their groups in other vehicles, littering leftovers, wrappers..🫣

Every time such a group was in the vicinity, we had to hear, “this one is from your country”😟

Posting few clips of some groups in a thread,
lets identify & shame them!
