Earlier too, Mahindra has shown his humanitarian side on Twitter. He had shared a story of a man who took his mother on a pan-India tour on his scooter. He had even offered to donate a car to the man.
A beautiful story. About the love for a mother but also about the love for a country... Thank you for sharing this Manoj. If you can connect him to me, I’d like to personally gift him a Mahindra KUV 100 NXT so he can drive his mother in a car on their next journey https://t.co/Pyud2iMUGY
