The next day's interactions started with a bang - Mr. Pawan Goenka, the MD of Automotive and Farm sector came down for interaction and answered all our questions. The following sessions were taken up by Mr. Parag Shah – Managing Partner (Mahindra Partners), Mr. Anuj Mehra – Managing Director, Mahindra Rural Housing Finance Limited, and Mr. Rohit Malik – Chief Strategic Initiatives at Mahindra Holidays and Resorts India Ltd. Just when We were thinking that it could not get any better, the next surprise came up and this could possibly be called the highlight of the first two weeks! We got to meet none other than Mr. Anand Mahindra.
We went to his gateway office at Colaba which was a quaint building with a majestic interior. The discussion of GMC batch with Mr. Mahindra was more philosophical, where we were given food for thoughts like the paradigm of leadership and the purpose of life. These are the tiny bits of one's life that make it worth living.
We spent the next day at the Kandivali office and interacted with leaders from the AFS business function and electric mobility business. It was great to learn about how well the agribusiness was doing and what all new initiatives are being taken by Mahindra group to expand their footprint in the business. To me, what seemed fascinating is the stupendous inter-business synergy Mahindra group is having and how it is propelling the group towards collective growth and prosperity.
Last but not least, the food and other arrangements in all these days were extraordinarily sumptuous and deserve a huge round of applause. This has already been a journey that will be etched in my memory forever.
