Anand Mahindra thinks Odisha's 'hidden gem' can become the next global tourist spot: What is Odisha's 'Grand Canyon'?
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.
