Anand Mahindra Beautiful Gesture To Daily Wage Labourer Who Became Asian Games Medallist

The chairman of the Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra, is known for his business savvy. But this wasn’t the only thing that set him apart. Every time, he became famous due to his remarkable sense of social duty.

Born into the prominent Mahindra family, he has emerged as a key figure in the global business arena. He is leading one of India’s largest multinational conglomerates. Under his leadership, the Mahindra Group has increased its worldwide presence across industries including automotive, aircraft, agriculture, and information technology. The group’s success has been greatly attributed to Anand’s strategic insight and mastery of the complexity of the international market.

Although Anand Mahindra has achieved success in the business world, it is his constant dedication to charity and humanitarian concerns that truly sets him apart. Recently, he has again shown his generosity by giving a special gift to Asian Games gold medalist Ram Baboo.

Anand Mahindra gives a special gift to Asian Games gold medalist Ram Baboo

Ram Baboo, who won bronze in the Asian Games, had an extraordinary journey. Baboo’s outstanding performance in the 35-kilometer race-walking event at the Asian Games has garnered him praise and admiration. Nevertheless, his journey to the world stage of sports was paved with unwavering resolve and adversity. Ram Baboo, a native of the Uttar Pradesh Sonbhadra area, is the child of a manual worker and a housewife. With three sisters, he had a difficult time making ends meet. It is because his family’s modest income fluctuated between Rs 3,000 and Rs 3,500.

To pursue athletics, Baboo embraced a life of juggling various odd jobs. He worked as a waiter and even performed work under the MGNREGA program to pay for his athletic training. Ram Baboo’s remarkable career, which took him from disadvantaged beginnings to the Asian Games podium, has won praise and acclaim. That’s why he has garnered a lot of attention on social media.

Even more, he inspired renowned industrialist Anand Mahindra to react to his journey. The chairman of the Mahindra Group praised Baboo for his unwavering bravery and tenacity. Not only this, he also offered to give his family their choice of any tractor or pickup vehicle.

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), he wrote,

“Daily wage worker to Asian Games Medallist. Unstoppable courage & determination. Please give me his contact number @thebetterindia I’d like to support his family by giving them any tractor or pickup truck of ours they want.”

This isn’t Anand Mahindra’s first time showing compassion. He had earlier given the parents of chess prodigy R Praggnanandhaa an electric vehicle.
