‘Jugaad Jeep’
Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra Group, is well known for his generosity of gifting Mahindra cars. Recently, he gifted a Mahindra Bolero to a person after he was impressed by the exemplary work of a man in Maharashtra.
The gift to the man was due last year. Anand Mahindra was impressed by the man’s creation. He had promised to give a car and the promise was fulfilled this year with a new while coloured Mahindra Bolero.
Last year, Anand Mahindra noticed a man driving a homemade car. A blacksmith from Maharashtra, Dattaraya Lohar, made a Jeep using various scrapped parts of multiple vehicles.
Gifts Mahindra Bolero
Lohar was using his Jeep to ferry people from one place to another. The video of him doing so on his homemade Jeep went viral. Impressed by the innovation and “jugaad” and concerned about the safety measures, he decided on gifting a Mahindra Bolero to Lohar.
Anand Mahindra made this announcement on Twitter in December 2021. The promise made last year has now been fulfilled, and Lohar received the new vehicle wholeheartedly. Anand Mahindra tweeted about this update.
The ‘jugaad,’ which was purchased in exchange for the new Bolero, will be stored and displayed at Mahindra‘s Research Valley. This vehicle was maintained on display in the hopes of inspiring Mahindra‘s engineers to create innovative improvements with limited resources and expenditures.
