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 B.Tech 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

@rushikesh_agre_ Heavy downpour in Goregaon now

2:10 PM.. Mumbai Rains - Many parts of Mumbai to get moderate to intense rain next few hours. First Southern areas will get rain, then Central & Western suburbs to follow ⛈️

@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

This is apparently a village in Palakkad, Kerala. Shared by @iAkankshaP to depict a ‘South Indian Village Morning.’ It’s not a tourist destination, nor is it trying to be. But at its best, travel awakens us to moments that are authentic, experiences that endure in our memories. And today, as a #SundayWanderer, I found myself wishing I could step into this village and become a silent participant in its rhythm, simplicity, and grace. The perfect escape from the relentless pace of modern life.

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

Next Bay low will spin off around 24 August which will give heavy rains to Mumbai. But it won’t be as heavy as this weeks extreme rains. #MumbaiRains

The How is more important than the How Much in reviews. In a QoQ world reviews are largely about How Much. Revenues - Bookings- Profits - Collections. Read my post on LinkedIn - linkedin.com/posts/krishnag…

@PiyushGoyal @PiyushGoyalOffc Heard u yday at Singularity Summit. 👌We are opening a bank acct with IDBI Goregaon today. 5 photos, only a specific downloaded Aadhar will do. Its a nightmare. Wonder how Jan Dhan accts are being opened. @nsitharaman

@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?

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

Alwida Monsoon, old friend. You were generous this year, though not always gentle. Come back on time next year…. We’ll be here, as always, waiting to spot the first drops & smell the wet earth….

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

Forecast for tomorrow | 25 Sept, 2024 - Avoid unnecessary travel if possible as rains will strengthen from tomorrow evening ⚠️ Would advise corporate offices for WFH/half day for tomorrow as second half of the day looks very very rainy 🟠 Take care, Mumbaikars. #MumbaiRains

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

No! At least till 22 September unlikely to be any heavy rains for Mumbai-Thane-Raigad region. #MumbaiRains

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. #Yogananda

Wonderful conversation with Dr. Sathya Sriram CEO Preventive Health at Apollo Hospitals. Great tips for professionals mulling over at various decision points in their careers. linkedin.com/posts/krishnag…

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 instagram.com/satvicmovement…

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
