Industrialist Anand Mahindra, who is quite active on X, regularly posts about trending topics and engaging stories, for his 11.2 million followers. The 68-year-old businessman also shares inspiring stories of people who have achieved great success in their respective fields. He recently expressed his admiration for Indo-American rapper Sooraj Cherukat, who has been making waves with his ''authentic sound and his extraordinary, raw videos.''
Mr Mahindra praised the Kerala-born artist's recent performance called ''Big Dawgs'', which has taken the internet by storm, creating a massive buzz and garnering millions of views. He also shared a screenshot from the video that shows the rapper riding a car inside the infamous ''Well of Death'', a heart-stopping stunt.
''Have posted recently about astonishingly talented young women of Indian origin making waves in indigenous American music genres. Now here's Sooraj Cherukat, @Hanumankind1 @hanumankind (Insta) who's rapping his way to global recognition,'' he said.
''Rap may not be for everyone, but this guy from Kerala & now Bengaluru via Texas is popping eyes across to U.S. for his authentic sound & his extraordinary, raw videos. Especially his latest: Big Dawgs, which features the Well of Death. Seems like there's no form of music young Indian trailbreakers can't cross into,'' he added.
Mr Mahindra also shared a YouTube link to Sooraj Cherukat's viral hit posted on July 10, which has garnered an impressive 4.1 million views. The rapper dedicated the powerful song to the unsung heroes who risk their lives daily to make a living.
