Mahindra Group’s chairman, Anand Mahindra, has announced his intentions to gift an XUV400 to the family of Indian chess prodigy, R Praggnanandhaa. The latter recently made headlines after becoming the youngest ever player to reach the finals of the FIDE World Cup.
Following Praggnanandhaa’s remarkable performance at the global level, several users on X (formerly known as Twitter) were asking Mahindra to gift a Thar SUV to the youngster as Mahindra has been known to honour the country’s sports stars with such gifts in the past.
Mahindra, replying to one such tweet, said “Many have been urging me to gift a Thar to @rpragchess But I have another idea … I would like to encourage parents to introduce their children to Chess & support them as they pursue this cerebral game (despite the surge in popularity of video games!). It’s an investment in a better future for our planet, just like EVs. And so, I think we should gift an XUV4OO EV to the PARENTS of @rpragchess Shrimati Nagalakshmi & Shri Rameshbabu, who deserve our gratitude for nurturing their son’s passion & for giving him their untiring support.”
