Our new association with Porter will be a win-win for both companies and will definitely cement our position in the ever-growing shared mobility space”.

Pranav Goel, Co-Founder, Porter mentioned, “Porter is the largest tech-logistics marketplace in the country, having serviced more than 200,000 customers and more than 10,000+ partner-drivers on the platform. This is a strong testament of the platform's seamless customer and partner-driver experience and our association with Mahindra will take it to the next level. The synergies between our business modules are evident and this association with Mahindra will further build on the trust of our stakeholders. With this Porter has now done a cumulative fund raise of more than USD 20 million”.

Mahindra Thar handover to 'Rapper Divine' by Mr. Anand Mahindra

Mr. Anand Mahindra handing over Mahindra Thar to Rapper Divine.jpg
Mr. Anand Mahindra, Executive Chairman, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd handed over the keys of a custom-built Mahindra Thar to ‘Rapper Divine’ of Jungle Sher fame.

Rap is not just a music format, but also an art form and a new medium of communication, a new voice of the next generation. It is raw, uninhibited and constantly explores new territories of expression. All of the latter are qualities that the Thar embodies. Hence, Mahindra presented the custom built Thar to Rapper Divine, an ideal vehicle to make a personalized statement.
