The Mahindra brothers believed that new modes of transportation could be a key to India’s prosperity, so one of their first goals was to build rugged, simple vehicles capable of tackling the Indian terrain. Early pioneers of globalization, the brothers collaborated with a wide range of international companies and before long, Mahindra’s reach extended to steel, tractors, telecom, and more.
Now, after more than six decades, Mahindra has grown from a humble local outfit to a US $16.2 billion corporation employing more than 180,000 people around the world. It’s been quite an adventure so far, and we’re proud of our global leadership in utility vehicles, tractors, and information technology, as well as our significant presence in financial services, leisure and hospitality, engineering, trade, and logistics. As we accelerate into the 21st century, we’ll continue to pursue innovative ideas that enable people to rise. We’ve come a long way, but the journey has just begun.
