Anand Mahindra highlighted the growing frustration over India's popular beach destinations becoming overcrowded with tourists. However, the Mahindra group chairman, emphasized that India offers plenty of unexplored coastal gems, making it easy to discover new and serene beach spots. Instead of sticking to the usual tourist hotspots, Anand Mahindra encouraged travelers to expand their horizons and explore lesser-known destinations. With India’s vast coastline, there’s no shortage of beautiful beaches waiting to be added to travel bucket lists, he said. His perspective, drawing from stock market analogy, not only promotes tourism diversification but also offers a refreshing alternative for those seeking peaceful and pristine seaside escapes away from the crowds. «But the beauty of India is that there is no lack of opportunity to ‘diversify the portfolio’ of beach destinations on your bucket list,» Anand Mahindra said in a post on X.

trade tariffs, industrialist Anand Mahindra believes India is being overlooked — and that could be a big mistake. On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs on global trade partners, including a 34% duty on Chinese goods. In response, China hit back with a 34% tariff on all imports from the U.S., escalating fears of a prolonged trade war. While the spotlight has largely remained on China, the U.S. also slapped a 26% reciprocal tariff on Indian goods, citing high import duties imposed by New Delhi. Amid this global shake-up, Mahindra sees an opening for India. Taking to X, the Mahindra Group Chairman said that while most global forums are focused on how China may benefit or retaliate, India remains a “non-topic of discussion." However, he argued that India is poised to become the world’s third-largest economy and, as the world’s largest democracy, is uniquely positioned thanks to its vast domestic consumption and strong supply chains. Mahindra also called for a “measured reaction” to tariffs, urging India to adopt smart policies that help it emerge as the world’s most reliable economic partner — and a key pillar in a new, multipolar global order.

In a post on social media platform X, Mahindra reposted a report of South Korea, China, and Japan, agreeing to cooperate for talks to improve free trade in the region amid concerns over US President Donald Trump's import tariffs, and wrote «the new tariffs announced by the U.S are a signpost of one major geopolitical development». He further said, «The MultiPolar World will now become a reality faster than anyone had ever expected.» The US on Wednesday announced 27 per cent reciprocal tariffs on India — saying New Delhi imposes high import duties on American goods — as the Trump administration aims to reduce the country's trade deficit and boost manufacturing.

Anand Mahindra, Chairman of the Mahindra & Mahindra Group, has urged that certain distinctive rock formations in Odisha be developed into a world-renowned tourist destination. On Thursday, the business magnate responded to a post on X (formerly Twitter) that compared these geological structures to the Grand Canyon, one of Arizona’s most famous natural landmarks. However, Mahindra expressed that the breathtaking formations in Odisha required no such comparison to be recognized for their beauty. «No need to compare it to the Grand Canyon. This is unique in its own way. Not sure if these pics are photoshopped, but even if they are to an extent, these formations are… the business tycoon wrote. He also appealed to the Odisha Tourism Department to make this scenic locale a global hot spot.

Adar Poonawalla, CEO of the Serum Institute of India, echoed Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra's views on the necessity of work-life balance. In a lighthearted remark, Poonawalla noted, “Even my wife enjoys staring at me on Sundays,” aligning with Mahindra’s earlier statement about cherishing personal time. Mahindra, a prominent voice on social media, had previously quipped, “I’m on social media, not because I’m lonely. My wife is wonderful; I love staring at her. I’m here because people don’t realize it’s an incredible business tool.” His comment, delivered at a recent event, was widely interpreted as a witty critique of L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan. Subrahmanyan had controversially questioned the utility of Sundays, provocatively asking, “How long can you stare at your wife? What do you do sitting at home?” The debate around work-life balance gained further momentum after RPG Group Chairman Harsh Goenka dismissed the notion of relentless work schedules. Taking to social media platform X, Goenka humorously proposed renaming Sunday as “Sun-duty” while stressing that excessive work hours lead to burnout, not success. He added, “Work-life balance isn’t optional; it’s essential.”

long working hours gained renewed attention this week following controversial remarks by L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan, who suggested employees should work up to 90 hours per week, even on Sundays. Former HCL CEO Vineet Nayar joined the conversation, presenting a contrasting perspective focused on living a fulfilling life rather than measuring productivity by hours worked. In a LinkedIn post, Nayar expressed concern about the glorifying excessive working hours. “The real question isn’t how much you work. It’s how fully you live.” Criticizing relentless schedules and constant connectivity, he emphasized that such lifestyles drain energy, stifle creativity, and erode purpose. “We glorify long hours, back-to-back meetings, and being always on. But an unlived life drains energy, creativity, and purpose,” he argued. The entrepreneur shared a picture of him getting a head massage from a street professional named Shah Rukh and wrote, «Today, I didn’t just get a head massage. I took back a moment of my life. nd by the way, Shahrukh gives the best head massage ever. Grateful he kept going till I almost fell asleep.»

While expressing gratitude for these partnerships, he noted the sense of fulfillment in seeing Mahindra now outpace some of these former collaborators in global market capitalizations. He emphasized that such milestones are never permanent but are a reminder of the constant effort required to stay competitive. Mahindra’s customer-centric approach and commitment to excellence, he stated, remain central to their long-term success and relevance.

Surgery and off-road driving are so similar,” says Dr Vani Parmar, 62, who recently retired as professor of breast surgical oncology from the Tata Memorial Centre, Khargar, Mumbai. “Both fields require precision, quick reaction times and an ability to handle challenging situations.” A mammoplasty may be slightly different from a slushy drive for some, but both are Parmar’s deep passions.
