Delhi, December 3, 2024 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau)- Anand Mahindra, the chairman of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, has garnered huge praise online for his elaborate response to a post asking him to “fix ground level issues” with the brand before “showing sky high shallow aspirations”.
The post on X (formerly Twitter) criticising Anand Mahindra came when the automaker had just unveiled its two new electric vehicles, the new BE 6e and XEV 9e.
The user Sushant Mehta’s post, which has now been deleted, said that “every single product of yours (Mahindra’s) is for those who don’t study and research” and added that “media is full with complaints”.
He went on to criticise the new models’ designs, stating they would be an “eyesore in a couple of months ” and adding that he has “no idea if your (Mahindra’s) design team or you yourself (Anand Mahindra) have such bad taste.”
Mehta wanted to highlight ground-level issues such as “issues of existing cars,” service centres, spare parts issues, and employee behaviour.
However, he also clarified that the criticism was all because he hoped and wished that “Mahindra and Tata can be (the) new Maruti and Hyundai for (the) world,” but that he was only disappointed so far.
Summary: Anand Mahindra calmly addresses criticism of his vehicles on social media, noting the “rudeness” in the comment while maintaining a professional tone.
