Anand Mahindra pays tribute to Mr Keshub Mahindra

Dear Colleagues,

It is with immense grief and sadness that I have to inform you that our Chairman Emeritus, Mr Keshub Mahindra, passed away this morning at 7 a.m. He was 99 years old, and missed his 100th birthday by just a few months.

Mr Keshub Mahindra was an exemplary statesman and an irreplaceable figure in Indian industry, revered for his vision, his business acumen, his leadership by example, and above all, for his uncompromising professional integrity. He was an unconditional father figure to me and many who had the privilege of knowing him.
