Anand Mahindra pays tribute to Mr Keshub Mahindra

Dear Colleagues,

It is with immense grief and sadness that I have to inform you that our Chairman Emeritus, Mr Keshub Mahindra, passed away this morning at 7 a.m. He was 99 years old, and missed his 100th birthday by just a few months.

Mr Keshub Mahindra was an exemplary statesman and an irreplaceable figure in Indian industry, revered for his vision, his business acumen, his leadership by example, and above all, for his uncompromising professional integrity. He was an unconditional father figure to me and many who had the privilege of knowing him.

A pebble that caused ripples of change

Swaraj Tractors’ ‘Project Pani’ initiative, which revives traditional community ponds, has ensured yearlong availability of drinking water to over 15,000 people and 16,000 livestock at Masuda and Bhinai, in Rajasthan

The traditional community ponds of Rajasthan have numerous stories to tell – of valorous kings, feisty queens, court intrigues, love and deceit. A long time ago, these water bodies served as the hub of Rajputana’s culture, politics and civil society. On their shorelines have the minstrels written some of those soulful ballads that are sung even today.
