"Happy Mother's Day, Ma": Anand Mahindra's Throwback Pic Is Pure Gold

Anand Mahindra has shared a special message on Mother's Day. The Chairman of Mahindra Group has picked a throwback picture with his late mother Indira Mahindra to celebrate her. The photo dates back to Mr Mahindra's college days.

Sharing the story behind the frame, the business tycoon on X (formerly known as Twitter), wrote, “Back in 1977. Just before I left for college. My mother wasn't looking into the camera; As usual she was gazing into the distance…trying to envision her childrens' future, hoping that a good education would be their passport to success—and happiness.”

“Happy Mother's Day, Ma. We'll keep trying to live up to your dreams for us,” Mr Mahindra added.
