About Anand Mahindra

Anand Mahindra presided over Mahindra University's fifth annual convocation on September 30, 2026, where 1,309 graduates received degrees and 29 students earned gold medals. In his address, he told graduates that their greatest power is their humanity, arguing that qualities such as ethics, humility, compassion, curiosity, and moral purpose are things only humans can provide. He stated that a degree is evidence of an ability to continue learning rather than proof of what has been learned, and he encouraged graduates to focus on curiosity, critical thinking, integrity, collaboration, and creativity as competitive advantages over AI. At Mahindra Group's 80th Annual General Meeting on August 5, 2026, Mahindra told shareholders that India has held its own in an unpredictable world, citing the country's scale, internal market, talent, political stability, and strategic flexibility as reasons it is increasingly seen as a credible global partner. He noted that approximately a quarter of all iPhones are now manufactured in India and highlighted that patents granted to the company grew from 56 to over 1,300 in the last decade, alongside a planned 15,000 crore investment in Nagpur over 10 years. He described the current moment as one calling for "attack mode," which he defined as strategic acceleration backed by preparation and capability rather than reckless speed, and said the question for India is no longer whether it will rise but how fully it will convert this moment into enduring advantage.
