Anand Mahindra, who is one of the leading industrialists in India, has become a social media sensation. His constant support towards the needy and talented and his philanthropist’s ideology has made him one of the most loved businessmen in the country.
He has been known to gift his Mahindra vehicles to either cricketer who has performed well in recent tournaments to people who are talented yet unable to gain any support outside. Not just vehicles, Mahindra has even extended his support to people who have been working rigorously.
The businessman is again making highlights with his generous gesture. Anand Mahindra gifted an SUV to a Maharashtra blacksmith, Dattatraya Lohar, a resident of Devashtre village.
Dattatraya came into the news last month for his video where he had built a car by refurbishing old parts and using scrap metal. The car built from scratch had auto-rickshaw tyres and a two-wheeler engine – but it took the Internet by storm.
The video caught Mahindra’s attention. Mahindra tweeted about how he is constantly amazed by the ingenuity and ‘more with less’ capabilities of our people as well as their passion for mobility—not to mention the “familiar front grille.”
This clearly doesn’t meet with any of the regulations but I will never cease to admire the ingenuity and ‘more with less’ capabilities of our people. And their passion for mobility—not to mention the familiar front grille pic.twitter.com/oFkD3SvsDt

Mahindra later tweeted that he would offer Lohar a Bolero in exchange for his creation. On Tuesday, Mahindra shared the pictures of the exchange and the happy faces of the family.
Delighted that he accepted the offer to exchange his vehicle for a new Bolero. Yesterday his family received the Bolero & we proudly took charge of his creation. It will be part of our collection of cars of all types at our Research Valley & should inspire us to be resourceful. https://t.co/AswU4za6HT pic.twitter.com/xGtfDtl1K0
