Anand Mahindra, the chairman of Mahindra Group also expressed his delight for Mirabai Chanu. He even wrote “I am delighted to personally gift a tough TUV 300 to an even tougher personality. @Vivek_Nayer please do connect with her and ask her what colour she’d like.”
It’s also a game-changing moment because it helps demolish gender stereotypes.

Such things can boost up any sportsperson and we believe she deserves this respect and love. This will motivate many more lifters to believe that they can also do well at international level.
