He recalled the early days of the Mahindra Group’s journey and wrote,

“When I joined the company in 1991, the economy had just been opened up. A global consulting firm strongly advised us to exit the car business since we had no chance, in their view, of competing with the foreign brands that would enter. Three decades later, we are still around and competing fiercely. We have used all the surrounding cynicism, scepticism—and even rudeness, as in your post—to fuel our hunger to succeed.”

In his tweet, he also added a line from Robert Frost’s poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, saying,

By writing so, he further acknowledged that there was no room for complacency and reiterated the company’s commitment to continuous improvement.

“But thank you for feeding the fire in our bellies….”

Sushant Mehta further made another tweet giving the reason why he deleted his earlier tweet

Sushant Mehta shared that he deleted his tweet criticizing Mahindra vehicles after receiving a call from the company’s marketing team, which left him questioning the professional handling of customer data.

While he appreciated their promptness in addressing potential concerns, he found it unprofessional to use contact details from a booking record instead of directly reaching out on the platform.

He clarified that his critique stemmed from a desire for Indian brands to deliver niggle-free products comparable to global standards and expressed admiration for some Mahindra models like the Thar.
